My wife got a pair of these 6 months ago and she skates them almost daily. She loves them. About two months in I swapped her wheels for undercover team blanks and IW Swiss bearings. HUGE difference! She said she will never skate cheap wheels again!
I love that have discounted bearings with a set of wheels, I use the same combo myself!
If I get new wheels and barring for this pair is there a specific size or number I have to get?
@@buzzlightbeer26 no specific size bearings but the skate can only fit 80mm wheels.
Whats the best wheels and bearings?
Can you link the bearings and wheels?
Can you do a vrs video? Zetrablades vrs ZMP?
I found a pair of these at Goodwill, more or less by accident. They were barely used. I paid nine bucks and some change. One hell of a good deal!
Shit might have to visit my local good will, is there a specific section I have to go? Never been there
I just got these Sunday. Love them! Hadn't skated in about 18 years! So far, they're great!
Welcome back!
For anyone that doesn’t know, the cuff liners can come out! It’s a half cuff with the heel and calf part so you can throw in the washer. It’s held by really strong Velcro where the heel is on the outside, right behind the silver ROLLERBLADE logo. If you look under the fabric strap you’ll see that the liner isn’t attached to the skate. I found this accidentally and now I see that nobody knows about this because all the vids on the Zetrablades say the liner doesn’t come out but it does. :)
I got those when I got back into blading from a sporting goods store and it was a great beginner skate I skated the wheels down to the cores because at the time I wasn’t even aware of where to buy new wheels
Absolutely. I think the wheels are the first thing to replace, but should last you a while. Glad you liked them too.
Back to Blading ya at the time I wasn’t aware of online stores like roller warehouse inline warehouse pro skaters place etc. since I’ve upgraded to a powerslide carbon tau that’s a great skate I bet you would enjoy it and it’s not as expansive as an fr carbon or adapt skate
@@BacktoBlading What are some good wheels I can replace on these Zesterblades ?
@@maargill9404 Hydrogen or Supreme by Rollerblade. I just bought the Macroblade 80/ with the ABT brake. Haven’t gotten them yet but I’m probably going to want a faster more durable wheel once I get my stride back. Been a while since I skated but these wheels are soft and good for beginners because they’re slow. But either the Supreme or Hydrogen wheels with new bearings will make this skate much faster and the wheels are harder so they last longer.
Telling people to take off the brake is irresponsible. Sometimes you really need to brake fast and the brake that comes with this model will stop you. Otherwise, unless you have the skill of dragging one skate to stop, which is not an easy thing to do, you are crashing into the car that just pulled out in front of you.
Wow, wasn’t expecting a skate product found on Amazon to be worthwhile lol. Good to know as I have a few friends I’ve been looking to get into rollerblading.
That sub $100 price is tough to pass up. I think people will be happy with these.
Yesterday I bought at the academy for 100 dollars the Zetrablade size 9 (I'm 81/2) and they fit me perfectly, these are very comfortable. I started skating at the age of 9 and I stopped doing it more than ten years ago, I feel very nervous but excited it is like learning to skate again. Congratulations, excellent video and review. Greetings from Houston Texas.
This guys skating is so satisfying
Bots why
Phenomenal intro panning around the blades as you described them!!
i got a pair for 5 bucks at an estate sale. Gonna keep the wheels and bearings.
Nice. I used to skate back in elementary and high school, but haven’t since, I definitely want to get into it again. Biggest problem is there’s very few brick and mortar places nowadays, at least in my area. I think Dick’s has these though so I’m gonna take a look. Nice vid. What’s your opinion on the entry level K2 skates like the Kinetic series vs these entry level Rollerblades/Blade Runners?
I heard the K2 fit isn’t as comfortable but ymmv. Everyone has different shaped feet. I think Rollerblade makes the best wheels but I’m sure the K2 are decently made
Thank you for the review. Do you recommend these or the Bladerunner Rollerblade Advantage Pro XT for a beginner?
I just got these off Amazon for $145 (Canadian) and when I saw this vid I was so nervous you were going to say they werent good. I rollerbladed a bit last summer but the ones I got were used and too small for my feet. They literally hurt so much I had to stop after 10 minutes to let my feet breathe so I had to give it up. My friends have skateboards so I'm excited to be able to keep up (and go faster than) them now :))
I’m a fan. Glad you found a pair you like
You've recommended to remove the brake but haven't recommended how to brake lol (beginners)
Hah, fair point. I’ll do some tutorials eventually but until then here’s my friend Ricardo. ruclips.net/video/E_hOIWuO8qA/видео.html
keep the break on and learn to use that first. Plus your wheels will last longer. better to replace a $10 break pad than $60-100 wheels
Would you recommend these or the bladerunners? Thank you very much!
I have the same question
I’m pretty sure these have better wheels than the blade runners. They won’t wear as quick. Check the density of the wheels
Nice review of this skate. I would agree on your overall impression! They are now going for about $130. However, every once in a while they are on sale for $90.
I'm a size 10 and you recommend downsizing to a size 9 right.This is a good video btw
I heard they run small?
Times have changed. These aren't under $100 anymore
Think this was pre-pandemic? Sad to see, they were good at sub $100
I'm U.S. mens size 10 and a half (10.5). Should I pick size 10 or 11?
I’d measure in cm, that way you know for sure. I’m 28.5 cm and the 11 fit loose but it was ok
Thanks
With a soft boot, integrated liner, fitness tyoe skate. i do recommend downsizing as the boot with strech to fit your feet if its a little tight at first. better to have it slightly tight than too loose. Obviously if its far too small then get a larger size. when i got my Fila fitness skates (alu 84 primo) i got a smaller size and within a week it fit perfect.
More comfortable than most shoes i've ever owned.
Maybe should have pointed out that the footage of you skating was pre-covid. ??.. i know it was a long time ago you skated this.. different world back then. Remember the good old days of 2019. hahah groan!! (haha)
all the best.
This was all last weekend, August 2020. Empty office park on a Sunday morning, so nobody for miles.
Thanks for the feedback.
I never trip on my brake because I have been forced to leave it on. I literally cannot get it off now because the design is horrible, so yeah, now I am really used to compensating for the brake and using it.
i take a uk shoe size 12.So on the sizing chart on amazon it shows numbers from 100 odd up to 315 etc so what size would fit mr?
I’d measure in cm, I think that’s what they’re going off
ugh...$300 in Canada, Amazon, Nov 2022
Sorry! Crazy inflation
Imma have to disagree with thinking theses skates are good. I’ve had them for 2 months and they are probably the worst skates I’ve ever used man. Like they suck suck. For learning sure. But after awhile upgrade. And upgrade fast. The bearings also are horrible and wear out VERY fast. The wheels do wear out incredibly fast too. 3/10 from me.
I wouldn’t disagree, great to start without spending a lot but once you’re good you should buy something better.
@@BacktoBlading my issue is the front wheel hold. It will randomly stop and catch against the Plastic. It makes for roun skating at times.
I have the women's zetrablads and they don't seem fast. I'm a beginner. What am j doing wrong?
Could be a variety of things. Have you been skating long? Bearings are usually first thing to check for speed.
Bro said less than 100 dollors at my store they cost 204
Eeesh, inflation?
What a Great review (my wife digged the sexy voice and all).
Ha! Appreciate that
I went to a women's size just seem to fit better and more snug
Me and my sister has a blue one and my brother has those black ones.
I also wondered why we couldn't turn but the thing is that it's the breaks this video did help.
Those or the FR Skates FR3 80? 😀 Used to do aggressive skating about 20 years ago. Want to start skating again. For fun, to get in shape and be outisde instead of sitting in front of the computer playing games,...
What are your top 3 roller blades from inline? Are these fast. Looking for something comfortable and fast
You did not mention support, the soft boot has little of it most of the time. Don't forget that people who are starting don't have the muscle strength like You and need that support from the skate.
I think that’s a fair point, though with the lacing and strap it was pretty supportive for me. I’m also assuming people starting out aren’t skating as hard as me either, so it balances out. Thanks for the feedback!
@@BacktoBlading i hope You are right ;) i started with a soft boot and had a terrible experience with it, but it wasn't rollerblade just a sport chain market brand so maybe that was the reason :)
I wear 10.5 in shoes so should i get 11 or 10 in rollerblade size? Also, what are good pads, gelmet and wristguards?
Now they selling it for $85 sgd ie $60usd, thinking of whether or not I should buy these. Just got a set of blades from flying eagle not long ago but the price is so tempting
Mine were from goodwill and 7$
I have been trying to replace mine for about 5 months now, not an easy task this year. I purchased them in May of 2019 and have around 1500 miles on them according to my GPS tracking watch. I am still skating with the brake but flipped it over to the left side for more even wear on it. When my wheels wear down near 60mm I take the brake off for a few days because it starts rubbing when I don't want it. The brake did get into the way on crossovers at first but for the most part it does not bother me. The biggest problem for me is I have short but wide feet. I had to get skates that are 1 and 1/2 US size large to make this work and they are still too narrow. I have adjusted the lacing to skip the whole at the widest part of my foot to avoid some of the pain it was causing. The one thing I hate about this skate is the velcro 45 degree strap. I really wish it was a buckle. The factory wheels for me wore down after around 50 hours of skating. I replaced them with labeda 80mm 85As orange hockey asphalt wheels ( I think I am on the 5th or 6th set) but I am considering purchasing UC 86A wheels in the future.
Good call with the ratchet buckle, so much nicer. A hard shell boot might be a nice upgrade too
@@BacktoBlading That is exactly what I want.
has anyone found good wheels replacement once the ones that came with the skates wear down? are there better wheels from a different brand I could perhaps use to improve the skates?
I always recommend calling your local shop and asking what they suggest. 80mm wheels are pretty common, lots of good options out there.
Is There any facebook or discord community? I wanna chat what blades i gotta get, now using xsjado with julio 5050 frame 60mm wheels.. Need some light boots and best one hehe whichone? Help
We have a slack team, link in the description.
Thank you for making of this video I couldn’t find any good videos on what skates to buy from Amazon and this is by far the best video and found😁😁😁👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Nice review but these stoppers I never get warm with these things.
Also I have the same exact skates, my wheels haven't went down to the core yet. But when they do where can I buy the same exact wheels that came with them?
You light struggle finding those specific wheels, but any 80mm wheel will work.
@@BacktoBlading ok thank you!
Did you have to change anything after removing the brake?
Nope, nothing needed. Solid skates
You are an valuable resource. Thanks for the info and review Back to Blading.
These are my first pair of soft shell skates and I find them kind of hard to control or keep upright. Is there anything you would suggest for that?
Make sure you tie them up tight, don’t cut off circulation or anything but they need to be supportive. It’s also possible they’re too big for you.
I’ve never skated in my life, I want to try it for some fun and I was just curious. In the UK our tarmac is a lot more coarse/rough. Will these still be okay you think?
Yes, depending where you skate the bigger the wheel the smoother the ride. Maybe a parking lot would be good to learn.
just got these ! as my wheel on my Exos busted all up yesterday
Thanks for the review. Feel a lot more comfortable knowing someone like you approves!
Please help
Down sizing, on the size.
So if i’m 10.5 get a size 10 instead of 11?
Would you recommend these or the RollerFace?
Lots of you are asking if you can use this for slalom inline skating, it’s great for beginner but the skates are really differnt for when doing on toe tip tricks, I’m giving you the honest opinion that the way the shoe holds up with the wheel let along the fit if the skates you can’t do lot of slalom inline tricks on these, after getting engineer skills down I would recommend you having to buy real ones from in person or skating website .
is this sponsered ?
Nope, my Patreon helps with skate purchasing.
Are these good for someone who is 270 lbs?
I would probably recommend a hard shell boot vs these soft boot. They’ll give you more support.
@@BacktoBlading thank you, do you recommend any specific brands in particular
I see you do a jump using zetrablade when the brakes are released is it safe for zetrablade frames
For sure! I’d know your limits though. These aren’t designed for aggressive skating.
So if to jump like you do it's okay, thanks for info bro and I bought what you recommend because the rollerblade brand has not been doubted since I was a child 🤙🏻🤙🏻
Really great video, thank you. All the other skate review videos I looked at were just people talking about them but you actually demo’d them with great footage. Thanks again!
Out of stock for idk how long
What is the difference between the male and female model of these rollerblades? I would rather take these black ones for myself because I don’t like the mint color on the female model. 🤷🏼♀️
I don’t know for sure, but I gotta assume just the color
If only they were still under $100 in Alberta. Best is $300 due to high equipment demand.
Woah! Sorry to hear that. Definitely better skates available for $300
@@BacktoBlading im currently working on some homemade skates. Your video where you 3d printed frames was really informative.
I came across your video review on these inline skates. I'm new to this but I am considering getting these. I am hoping that I will like inline skating for cardio. Can you get a good workout that gets your heart pumping from inline skating?
Great! Any skating is a solid cardio workout. Once you get experienced, there are plenty of exercises. Maybe hockey cross training would be a good place to start looking.
Just starting out and paid $250 for some power slides and the wife found someone giving a pair of these away for free online and picked them up. Idk anything about skating but for some reason these feel wayyyy better and more...stable? To me?
Different skates for different feet. It’s a solid boot though!
Hi, a great and inspiring video. Thanks! I am in the UK, and looking to buy my first pair of rollerblades, whooop whoop... : ) around this mark, or up to around $150 , just wondering of you have any other blades to recommend for a beginner, although these looks great.!! You make it looks so easy.. haha.. Plus, regarding the size, I am a 9 UK, which is a 10 US, would you recommend going down a size!? Big Thanks..!! All very inspiring. Cheers, Chris
Welcome to the community! Rollerblade is a solid brand, as is FR or Powerslide. In the UK you might want to give LocoSkates a call. They’re a great shop.
@@BacktoBlading Arrh~* Big Thanks!! I really appreciate this, thank you..!! Feels great to be part of the community, I really am very grateful..!! Brilliant, great to know.. thanks..!! Great affirmation, I was looking at the site, going through many online shops, and thought and felt that LocoSkates would be the guys to give a call, great to know they come rcommended. After your review I was super inspired, and decided ok, Zetrablade look like a great starting pair for me, well rounded, good quality, and I like the look of the soft shoe within the shell. I posted on a great local skate teacher Ashas fb pag today for some top tips re buying a first pair of blades, and she said that she felt a harder shell would be better for learning, and prevent inclinations.. I would prefer the softer shoe, do you think the Zetrablade would be ok for me to start with. I am not so big, around 70/72 kilos, 5ft 10" approx . Big Thanks!! I am so glad to have found your channel. Good Vibes..!! Chris
@@BacktoBlading Arrh Big Thanks!! Yes, loving the good vibes thanks!! Bless up's the great Rollerblade community, giving thanks!! These sounds great!! Yes, been speaking with LocoSkates, such great guy's thanks.. and they are near to me : ) thinking I may go for the Rollerblade Cruiser 2021 or the RB 80, it's a little older, but love the colours.. just wondering if you have any experience with these. Big Thanks!! Bright Vibes, Chris
I got those same ones and I love them.
I was just wondering how plastic frames performed compared to metallic ones! I was surprised at your satisfaction with the speed or flow while others said slower in general!
For a better smoother wheel at inexpensive cost, what's the difference between RB hydrogen and Bont elemental? Thanks.
These better than the advantage pro?
I just bought a pair of these in 2 different sizes so I can see which size fits better and return the other one. I’m really excited to get into skating, technically again but I was really young when I last skated
Welcome back!
I am a 12 in mens but there isnt half sizes should I still go with a 12 or 11’s.
Best bet is to measure your feet in cm and see what the recommend. I think they fit a bit roomy so if you’re close you can make a smaller size work.
Just bought a size 12 for 29cm and he is right, they run big. Returning for smaller size.
I also own Fila houdini pro 125mm tri skates, they run true to size.
Hey there. Exactly my size (size 12), ordered size 12 too and not sure if I should instead cancel and order size 11.5s. Could you kindly share, it I ordered gel insoles, would that not accommodate for some of the extra space?
Blud it costed me 140$
I don't like the breaks
Lastima q no hablen español no entiendo nada
Do you shoot with a 360 deg camera?
Yes, Insta360
What sizes are they in
What's the difference between these and the elite version?
I think the wheels are better in the elite, but I don’t know
They are terrible skates! I got them for my husband & the bearing exploded oil & attracted sand into the other bearings. They were not supportive around the ankle & cuff was mushy, cheaply made. Wheels wore down in 1 session. They are total crap 💩
Price
Kinda a random question, but I'm curious about the bag you are skating with in this and the Next review video.
Lol
Would you reccomend this one or the elite?
They’re pretty good, I’d stick with the least expensive
@@BacktoBlading thx for such a good review!!! I will get them tomorrow cant wait!
I was just wondering the same thing....is there much difference?
@@tasg1564 idk but i got the normal zetrablade. I have big feeds and they feel like not the most comfotbal skates on the market. But still nog wrong!
Love them! Thanks for the Review. I just bought them, and will be shipped to Montevideo ❤ can't contain my excitment
its good its just hard to find wheel replacements for 80mm/82a
Just purchased a pair of macroblade 80s, but, I got the wrong size. Instead of exchanging, should I just return them and get these zetrablades? I'm a very light person (120lbs and a beginner) so I'm not sure I need aluminum rails. Also riding on bumpy textured bike trails.
Hey man I'm 5'10 about 230 lbs can I use these??? I'm tryna drop some weight and you look very fit this looks like a good way to lose the pounds while having fun.
I would recommend trying out a pair of slightly more expensive RB cruisers before settling on these.
Thanks for this review! My wife and I want to get back into skating. She's always been a blader and I've been a quad, but always had the desire to be a blader as it seems like you can move around more, idk! Was looking these up for my wife, but def considering getting myself a pair as well. Did you happen to test these indoors as well? If so, how'd they hold up? Consider me subbed btw!
Are these considered a soft boot? They look almost a hybrid ,Are they comfortable?
I guess a soft boot, but much more supportive. They’re great skates to see if you like skating.
@@BacktoBlading are they comfortable straight away?
I wasn’t able to turn in mine. They were too stiff, with or without the brake. I had to return them. Does anybody know if there could have been something that I was doing wrong? ** (I have experience rollerblading)**
Picked these up yesterday from my local Academy sports store. Haven’t been on a pair of skates in about 17 years. My foot strength needs work, but otherwise these skated great. The soft boot can make the wheels feel a little wobbly under your foot, but I’m sure once my feet strengthen back up I won’t have any trouble. Wheels are very soft which is great if you’re just starting out again. Bearings were surprisingly smooth as well.
I'm a 8½-9 in shoes, (womens) what size should I get for these? I had roller blades years ago I think about age 9-12 and ever since I broke my arm on them I couldn't use them and had to throw them away due to how much I grew and they were beat up, idk what size they were, or brand, but I loved them, I think I'm definitely stull a beginning, cuz I haven't skated since but I really want to again
Can you remove the frame on these skates ?
I think so, but I don’t know why you would.
@@BacktoBlading i was thinking of removing the frame then putting another frame which is more durable
No. The frame cannot be removed and/or replaced. It is one piece plastic-like material.
No
Can you please gift me a pair of skates i shall be highly thankfull to you i want to buy them but i haven't enough money please help me 💔
Just got my pair yesterday after no skating for over a decade. I noticed from the trailer you are from the Durham area. What are some good long flat trails or spots in Durham for beginners ?
Does the hex key come with the roller blades when you buy it?
Do u think they are also good for indoor skating
Perfect
Gracias muy util el video. Greetings from Costa Rica
I'm so excited to get mine Friday I just ordered them and thank God I sized down my first pair or skates I bought on my own since becoming an adult
Still cool... Rollerblade revival...
Currently out of stock😫
These are sold out 🙇♂️. Any other recommendations for beginners?
I liked the Bladerunner, comparable but the wheels weren’t as good
did they come built?
Is they good for off road ???
