Rollerblade Zetrablade Men's Adult Fitness Inline Skate, Black and Silver

My brother bought these skates so he can lose weight but ended up never using them so I stole them. Best skates I’ve ever stolen. Unfortunately, they were a size 13 and I am a size 10 so few days ago I had to order the same skates in my size ‘cuz I absolutely love these skates. So comfortable, you can skate forever. They also have this sporty look to them so you’ll be rollin’ in style.I’ve seen many reviews about these skates and how the wheels were all torn up in such a small amount of time. If you put one skate behind you sideways and you use your wheels to break then YES, ABSOLUTELY your wheels are going to not last long. The wheels were not designed to rub on hard surfaces to decrease your speed! That’s what the break is for! You can also learn spinning techniques that can stop you immediately.

Stuck at home, my family gifted this to me on my birthday. I've tried inline skating before a decade ago, and didn't get very far. Back then, my skates were uncomfortable and I fell a lot. I gave up after four attempts.These are a much more comfortable pair. There is padding inside which is useful for a total beginner but gets in the way of intermediate or advanced skaters (that want perfect 'transfer' and control). Since I'm a beginner, I have been a bit rough on the skates, and they have scuff marks on the side. The skates have also been left outside in the sun and don't look worse for it. The wheels are softer than other inline skate brands. This again is useful for beginners but might not be as good for intermediate skaters. The wheels rotate freely, the wheels are stable and don't wobble. Depending on the surface you practice on, you might need to rotate your wheels (instructions and allen key included). You will also need to lubricate the wheels or periodically remove them to remove hair and other debris that invariably gets caught. Again, this is easier than it sounds. You use the allen key, remove the wheel. Remove the debris, brush it away with an old toothbrush, and put the wheel back.Sizing: I got a size 10 and my foot-size is 10.5. I recommend a tight, snug fit. My foot is snug inside these blades, and they hold on to my ankle and heel near perfectly.If you do start, please do buy knee, elbow and wrist pads. After trying a few brands, I settled on pads that are also made by this company that makes inline skates. They were the same price as other no-name brands, and are much more snug.Starting out, I also recommend the excellent videos by SkatefreshAsha on Youtube. Good posture and good technique is vital to avoid back and leg pain, and to avoid fatigue. And as you get comfortable, you will need to learn specific techniques (stopping, turning, one-leg balance) that is essential to developing good technique. Get your posture and technique right, and in a year or two you can justify a good professional pair if you'd like. Or you can continue with this pair recreationally or for a quick run around the hood.Hope this is useful, and hope you can learn how to skate as well! Skating is now it my special father-daughter hobby!

Very smooth ride. I was able to go miles and still be comfortable in these. I've been trying to find good and sturdy roller blades that I would love for years since my last ones were tossed and so far within my price range (even though I asked and got these for Christmas lol) these are my favorite.

I have not inline skated in over 30 years but wanted to dip my toes back in the water. These were highly recommended online as good starter skates. They arrived well packaged and included a quick start guide. The fit was true to my shoe size and they worked perfectly at the roller rink while skating with my kids. I rarely write reviews but these are a high recommend in my opinion.

I’m an out of shape, plus-sized middle aged woman wanting to try to get back into rollerblading. After trying a really cheap pair (that I couldn’t even move in!), I did some research and landed on these. I did purchase the men’s version as they seem sturdier and a little wider.Well, I still suck at rollerblading, but these are so much more comfortable than the cheap ones I had. I’m actually able to rollerblade in these. They are comfortable and have great support. They also work well with my slightly wide feet. I did size up. I normally wear an 8.5 in women’s. I ordered the men’s 8 (which is a woman’s 9) and they were too small. I ordered a men’s 9 and those fit me perfect with my socks.I have read that the soft wheels that come with these are good to learn on but need to be upgraded to harder wheels eventuallybecause the soft wheels wear out easily.So these rollerblades didn’t magicallymake me rollerblade like a pro, but they do make it possible for me to get my out of shape butt rollerblading!

The media could not be loaded. Great pair whether you’re just learning or getting back into the sport! Very affordable for the quality. Taught my partner to blade last summer with these!

Great quality skates and comfortable you can’t go wrong with rollerblade brand.
