Rollerblade Zetrablade Review | Some comparisons and housekeeping

[@carlosmelendez8317]

If I wear a 10.5 in men's shoes should I get my rollerblades in 11 or 10?

[@seriouslyreallyserious]

For me I am a 9.5 to 10 in shoes (US Size) and ordered 9-9.5 for Rollerblade. Unless you like thick socks, go with size 10.

Probably one great thing about the Zetrablade is the fact the frames are inbuilt. So no riveted two piece frame getting lose. These are probably great for cruising and freestyle tricks.

I agree, I skate them when I just want to go around without doing anything intense. They slip on so easily, great for spontaneous skating. Plus, if you happen to share with someone, they are more forgiving in the fit.

you can actually remove the heel/boot from the zetrablades so you can wash it off, I have these too. I'm probably getting the RB pro X for an upgrade later this year

[@seriouslyreallyserious]

Interesting, I am unaware this was the case. I will investigate - or perhaps make a video? - as that would be nice to clean these up a bit. The RB Pro X is a fantastic skate, it was another option had it been in stock. Skate on!

The zetrablade is a great skate for beginners or people like me I’m in my 50’s and I skate for exercise not doing anything crazy I still consider myself a beginner I don’t even skate backwards.

Soft boots are great for exactly those users. Great to hear you are skating, it is very versatile due to the low impact compared to other sports. Surprisingly there are many seasoned skaters doing amazing things in soft boots, hard boots are just a luxury. Skate on!

Are the wheels good for indoors /outdoor. What bearings do you have them paired with. If i would get a different pair of wheels from what you had on yours would be a good pair of wheels you recommend for indoor / outdoor.

[@seriouslyreallyserious]

Hi! Wheels are Rollerblade Hydrogen. Used once indoors, it may grip a lot but is suitable. Going to something harder like the Mushroom Blading or Powerslide Spinners (87a and higher) will be a bit better indoors. I think the bearings are Black Panther Ceramics, they are pretty good. Rains a lot here so it helps - alongside using Gel Lubricant - keep the ball bearings from corroding. They are not necessary, as my other skates have normal CrMo Steel Ball bearings and are just fine.
