RollerbladeZetrablade Women's Adult Fitness Inline Skate, Black and Light Blue, Performance Inline Skates

*2 year update: Still holding up with wheel changes and hard use, even with more demanding tricks like toe spins.*1 year update: These things are still and more amazing. Weekly use and plenty of scratches, but sturdy sturdy sturdy. They fit now like my fav pair of scunchbacks.* Wow! Just wow. I've been trying a few Rollerblade skates: RB Cruiser W, Zetrablade Elite, Bladerunner....but these are awesome. My favorite, with the Bladerunners a close second for functionality and comfort. I need a lightweight skate for artistic skating; and so far, I love the Rollerblade fitness line for that very purpose!1.) The frames. Composite, but can stand up to skate dance and slalom! At first I didn't love that feature, but it's as tough as aluminum frames. And way, WAAAY lighter. In typical Rollerblade fashion, these have nice short frames that are only as long as the boot, so SUPER maneuverable. I took the stock wheels off to replace them with 85A (I like a nice hard wheel) and rockered these 76-80-80-76 for extra maneuverability.2.) The wheels on these are super zippy compared to the Bladerunner, so I would rate them Intermediate, which is where I'm at, but a beginner might have some issues with them.Axles are very durable quality steel.3.) Nice, THICK laces, with lacing options farther up the skate if you want it. Definitely like this system better than the Elite, makes for a nice, snug fit. Keeps the feet tight and placed well.4.) Speaking of a snug fit, these have a plushy integrated liner that's a bit high, so I like that extra stability around the ankle.5.) True to Size! I am a women's 9, with narrow feet. Perfect fit. Perfect. I did say these had a nice snug fit, didn't I? I like to be able to put my foot exactly where I'm skating, whether it's crossovers or spins, so these are great!6.) Breathable AND plastic capped toe. Important! Bladerunner and Elite do not have plastic capped toes. I personally like this because I do a lot of tricks with my toe wheels.All in all, my new personal favorites! My only regret is I wish I had found these before. Cheers!

Absolutely love these blades!!! They are very comfortable and smooth to skate in. I upgraded from a cheaper pair and there is no comparison these are 1000 times better! I would definitely recommend just spending the little bit of extra money for a good quality skate like this.

My favorite accessory to have in the summer! The wheels are great!

For the price point, these are a great intro into the world of rollerblading. I’ve been rollerblading for a month and was hoping my snow skiing would transfer over and am pleased I went with the Rollerblade brand. I’ve already got my eye on an upgrade Rollerblade (over $300) in the future should I stick with the hobby. I rollerblade with my GSD and we both really enjoy the activity! From other reviews, I’ll get years of enjoyment out of these and am looking forward to improving every day. Had my first wipe out recently, and though they have some scuffs from the impact, they protected my ankles very well and the scuffs were minimal considering the impact. Obviously I also had my Rollerblade knee pads and elbow pads and suffered no injuries! I am using another brand wrist guard because the wrist guards felt like I’d slip more if I fell with them because of the metal guard it has instead of plastic. However,, as I progress I think I’ll switch to that wrist guard since the quality is better. I think that’d just me being scared of slipping too much with the metal piece. They’re not heavy and fit great. My foot is wide and I think these are very comfortable. Don’t hesitate - get them and start roller blading!!

The media could not be loaded. I would literally give this 400 stars if I could. I used to blade all the time back in the day, 31 now and decided I need to start exercising more why not go back to the good old days, right? Best purchase ever. For starter rollerblades or even someone experienced these are fantastic. They are very comfortable. I wear a 10 women's sometimes in 11 depending on brand I ordered a 10 and they literally fit like a glove. If you're thinking of ordering these don't hesitate do it.

I just got these today. I've only tried them on and tested in the house. I normally wear US women's 9 but ordered an 8 going off the size chart. My toes are at the end, not necessarily uncomfortably but maybe could have done a 9 instead. I have a wide calf but can still fasten buckle no issue. Wheels roll nicely, ankle support seems good, fairly comfortable. Will update after a trip to the roller rink.UPDATE: went to the local roller rink. They roll great, fit a little tight, and my feet hurt after an hour. I think with some padding at the bottom of the foot would help. But overall great skates.
