Rollerblade Zetrablade Mens Adult Fitness Inline Skate, Black and Silver, Performance Inline Skates

I am 57 and picked these blades up to get some excercise other than running... I am a novice roller blader. They roll nice, fit well, comfortable. I am normally size 11-11.5 so I went with size 12 - good choice! Size 11 would have been too tight. The brake stop on right boot doesnt stop you very well. At best, it attempts to slow you down. You will need to learn how to slow/stop hockey style. Well see how the wheels hold up on durability. Thus far, quality blades for $100.

I purchased these skates because I was just getting into skating and didnt want to spend a lot of money in case I didnt like the sport. The skates are a very good value and quality. They are a little uncomfortable but that may just be my feet, and I cant compare them to other skates since this is my first pair. I skate 12 miles two to three times per week. At the end of 12 miles Im ready to get my feet out of them. I skate on a smooth asphalt trail. The wheels are ready to replace after about 100 miles. I purchased harder compound wheels (80mm, 85A durometer) and high end Oust MOC 9 AIRRR bearings but havent installed them yet. The bearings alone cost almost as much as the skates. Im hoping to bet more speed and durability out of the new wheels and bearings.

Ive had these skates for about 2 months now and have skated about 150 miles all outdoors in them. The boot and frame are holding up well considering how much Ive used them. I wear them very tightly and, as a result, the lower strap has started to slightly cut into the soft boot. Ive fallen a few times which has caused some scratches in the plastic around the boot and frame, but that would happen with any set of skates. I cant make a judgement about the bearings because I was foolish enough to take them through a puddle within the first three weeks so they lost their function. The 80A wheels that come on this skate wore down significantly within the first three weeks, about 40 miles on pavement, and I had to replace them with 85A RB Hydrogen wheels (add $65 to the price of the skate). The new wheels are a huge improvement to the quality of the skate. Im 197 lbs (probably closer to 230 on commuting days with all the gear I carry); if you weigh less than me your experience with the wheels may be quite different. This boot is very soft and comfortable. Maybe too soft; I dont feel like there is a good power transfer. I wouldnt trust them for city skating, jumping, or power slides. On the other hand, when I was younger I would always get blisters on the back of my heel from just a couple hours, but these skates never gave me any foot discomfort. The Rollerblade Zetrablade skates have been an excellent re-introduction to inline skating. Ive lost fat and gained muscle in my legs. Theyre good for commuting to and from work. My next pair will have three wheels at 110mm because I feel that would be better for pavement.

Wheels are aligned really nice unlike another pair I had tried. You can stand and move without feeling like your wheels are caving in. The wheels have a decent amount of sticky so they hold the floor well. Definitely recommended for sure.

It was durable, smooth ride, very comfortable and was able to use it indoors & outdoors .

Roller skating has recently become a thing in our house.... (thanks Stranger Things). These are very comfortable and it wont take long for them to pay themselves off vs renting the nasty blades at the rink where I have NEVER seen them use the foot spray.......

Im expecting the elites. I rushed and returned em bc they were a bit lose but now i have try a variety from poweslide phusion, the zetrablades for women and now im expecting the elites. Something tells me i will end up purchasing this back as my go to . They were way more comfy and i never fell . I almost busted my butt w the womens and did hurt my knee w the powerslide. I am expecting to get the elite then I ll make my final decision. Whatever you do dont buy from out of country skatepro is giving me a hard time to return the powerslides i barely tryied on. Amazon is the best if you dont have a skate shop near your hometown. Will update after I try the elites. I am a 200 pound female size 8 and a half and got a size 9 in mens. I wish I would have just kept this ones bc after doing all this choosing and investing i am almost thinking i will be back to this at leadt as for the colors i do love the black and silver and the inside of them to be black

My kids have been skating for a few months and made me wonder how cool would that be to try it myself. It is so much fun! Well, except the moments when I lose the balance )))) I love the skates - the size is right (I ordered slightly larger, to be on the safe side), very comfortable, skating is smooth. I wish it came with some skating skills included :)

Some rubber bands are of poor quality

Great for around the neighborhood with the dog. Used them a dozen times and no issues. Very comfortable.
