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

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 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.

nice and durable.

Great!!!

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.

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.

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.

I got these for myself, I have been rollerblading for 15 years so I wanted a pair of “blades” that could take a beating and would last me a while. I love skating with my kids and I also love going out to skate on my own. These rollerblades are a great buy and you won’t be disappointed. They handle bumps and they roll very well on asphalt or concrete. I’m very happy with them so far.
