Bladerunner by Rollerblade Advantage Pro XT Men's Adult Fitness Inline Skate

Has great stability and comfort. Since it's not made out of plastic for the most part it fits really snug and you can skate for hours without having to worry about blisters as the material is really soft yet firm. However I would not really reccomend it for beginners as it still shofts a little underneath you, its really miniscule but its enough to throw your balance off if your not used to it. I really reccomend getting yourself a pair if you skate often enough as the comfort is just absolutely amazing.

nice and durable.

I picked up rollerblading again after 20 years of not skating. Some may say this is not a good idea to get back on the wheels in my 40’s but I was never good a following directions anyway. I love these skates because I am a large human at 6’2 270 and a size 13 shoe. I bought the size 12 and that is perfect. They fit great and look awesome. They send an Allen wrench but no shorter bolt for when you want to remove the break. I just took it to my local skate shop to get the bolt but I wish Rollerblade would have sent one. All good, I still recommend these skates for all levels.

If you’re on a budget and looking to see if inline skating is something you want to get into, I think these skates are great. But plan on upgrading in a few months if you start to enjoy the sport! Be careful with the sizing - I wear a size 15 shoe, but after measuring my feet as suggested, I found that I should fit in a size 13. Which is as big as they come. Close, but not quite. My toes constantly touch/rub the front of the boot, and since I’ve been skating 7 miles it so most days, my toes get pretty sore. This is the main reason I’ve decided to upgrade after 6 weeks. Seems to me the wheels are pretty decent also, but I’ve worn them down quite a bit. 2nd reason for upgrading to new/better skates, but had I chosen to, I could have easily just replaced the wheels and bearings. Overall, I’m very pleased with these given the price. If you decide to buy, might check those that are Used -Like New. I figured these were skates somebody ordered in the wrong size. I got a pair in an open package but with NO wear on the wheels. For a much cheaper price. Beginner tip - research when and how to rotate your wheels - they’ll likely last much longer if you do so before you chew them up! See you on the trail!

I bought these because I hadn't skated since I was 11 years old, and now that I'm in my 20s, I wanted to start skating again after being recommended a video of someone skating. I was instantly hooked! I had (somehow) forgotten entirely about how much fun I had with skating when I was a kid because I live in a town where absolutely nobody does it, and I decided to pick up a pair of skates. After I did some research and tried on some (not these types) at a store, I decided to browse online and find a nice pair for beginners. I grabbed these skates based upon the reviews and just bought them instantly without a second thought, I was going to skate again! When these arrived, I quickly took them out of the (massive) box that they came in and took them down to a place that had a flat and smooth surface. These things will GLIDE effortlessly when they're on properly paved roads / concrete, but you WILL feel the intense bumps (if you ride slowly) while going across poorly paved roads. The change is immediate between the two types of surfaces, and getting up to speed isn't that much of a challenge either. Balancing on these isn't that hard either, but I'm not as experienced as I once was, and so I am currently in the process of getting back to where I used to be. When I originally started back out using these, the stopper on the right foot initially got in the way as I wasn't used to it, but that quickly went away once I had more practice. It's relatively simple to remove the stopper, but the back wheel may be a little loose when you try to reattach the wheel w/o the stopper. Overall, these are perfect for learning upon, and I will definitely be buying some tri-skates as those seem quite enticing and I feel like (after more practice) I will prefer tri-skates instead of the regular in-line skates. Buy these if you're browsing around and are curious as to what to get as a beginner, or if you are rusty and want to get back into the swing of things. I highly recommend them, and have never had any issues with them so far! I thought that the gravel would've eaten the wheels after a few days of skating on it, but nope! They're still as good as new.

I believe I have used these six or seven times. They are good fit, and are sturdy. The color also looks nice. Because I only use them sporadically, I haven’t gotten good at it, but I think these are great for learning, and may be good enough for an experienced rollerblader too.

Pros: Very comfortable Great for recreational Style is nice Durable Didn't break the bank. Cons None for me. I bought these to go skating with my daughter. She likes to go to the skating ring. So I bought some cause the rentals suck. These are probably not good for extreme skating. The durability would not support extreme use.

I loved these skates! I hadn’t skates in over 20 years and once I put these on it all came back naturally! I ordered these and some less expensive adjustable ones. The adjustable ones did not fit vary comfortable, They were very narrow. I have wide feet and they fit well. I weigh 260lbs and use a size 9 1/2 in men’s and ordered a size 9 and they were a big snug but still usable and very stable. They fit my husband well so he is keeping those and I will be Ordering my self a pair in size 10. The $100 plus spent on these skates are well worth it! I would recommend these to any adult wanting to take up skating.
