Rollerblade Twister XT Men's Adult Fitness Inline Skate, Black/Lime, Urban Performance Inline Skates

Awesome 👏

I purchased these to replace the Rollerblade Zetrablade I originally learned on. So worth the money. Good fit on the skates. I'm 8 1/2 - 9 shoe. Size 9 skate was perfect. Been skating on for 6 months. Average 10 sessions per month. This equates to average $5 per session with these! And the durability is great - I don't see any significant wear - except on wheels of course - which I rotate periodically.

Booties: the manufacturer's specified size corresponds to the actual one, suitable for wide feet. Wheels: bearings are smooth (fast), with minimal noise during fast rides; the rubber is grippy, moderately stiff, and doesn't wear out quickly. After 2 months of use, I can say that skating on them brings joy and pleasure; at first, I fell often because I'm a beginner, but the sturdy shell coped excellently with impacts and friction against asphalt, overall, I don't regret buying them. What I didn't like: the bearing on the front wheel of the left roller was installed incorrectly, causing the wheel to stop spinning after 2 rides, and I had to replace the bearing.

Solid boot

First off I tried lightning 110s and thought I loved everything about it. I was getting some pretty bad blistering on inside foot. I started with Zetrablade size 9 and had extra room so I opted for the 8-8.5 Lightnings. After a week or so I could not handle the pain and discomfort. You want a tight fitting skate over a loose one. Especially in the beginning as it packs out and loosens over 8-12 hours. I know they aren’t supposed to be shoe comfortable, but this I felt crossed the lined and Amazon helped me out with a return. They were ok during indoor carpet test fitting, so unfortunately they had been used after me. Now comes a few weeks of intense google and YouTube research for the next model to try. I wanted to stick with rollerblade since I was getting used to their sizing in general. I debated a few of their models and finally decided to risk these Twister XTs in the 8-8.5 (which is was also in between 8 and 9s. They were usually known to be very aggressive fitting, so I was doubtful. But those who they worked for, loved them. When I Received the twisters I took the liner out and did the 1-1.5 finger to heel test to check boot size. It was perfect. So I put the liner back in and was nervous as I slid my foot into the front, waiting for the dreaded toe smash like in the prior lightnings. To my surprise the neoprene toe box felt perfect. The first day I had these I did 10 miles, and got a minor blister. Had they been my lightnings I would probably had to call a ride home. Usually you don’t want to break in skates that much first handful of times, but I loved them. I’ve had them a week and probably put on 60 miles-ish. I am combatting blisters, but I can tell these are from technique and sock choice. Also they aren’t officially broke in. Unfortunately there isn’t an easy way to find skates that fit you of you don’t have a local shop (which I don’t). Thanks to Amazon for helping me out with the return. I felt bad using the skates beforehand, but I did express to them clearly that they were visibly used, so I’m sure they are on the used sellers list now.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: One of the best product on the market. Navy seal looking boot, black color looks fantastic. Outstanding 80 mm, 85A hydrogen wheels. Size to size feet’s perfect. Fantastic locking buckle. And the inlinewarehouse.com is the best place to buy! They are fast, reliable, helpful, one of the best professionals out there!

It is impossible to put it on. And to release the straps that go around your ankle, you have to literally push it out from the outside (after tightening it, even when you lift it up to release the straps, it just stays on, and does not get released). Not only it is narrow, its functions don't work and makes me doubt if this is really even worth 350 dollars (imo it's not even close). It needs to be obviously wide and easy to put on, and then the adjustable straps should be designed to easily tighten and to release. But no, my feet aren't even going in, and adjusting the straps are beyond headache.

Se deslizan muy bien hasta el momento. No le pongo las 5 estrellas por que son un poco duros en plásticos y al momento de poner los en tus pies no son tan cómodos para ese proceso. Pero una vez puestos. Funciona. Muy bie. Y son cómodos
