Rollerblade Zetrablade Women's Fitness Inline Skates for Adults - Lightweight Performance Skating Shoes in Black & Light Blue | Perfect for Outdoor Exercise, Recreation & Urban Commuting

*2 year update: Still holding up with wheel changes and hard use, even with more demanding tricks like toe spins.*1 year update: These things are still and more amazing. Weekly use and plenty of scratches, but sturdy sturdy sturdy. They fit now like my fav pair of scunchbacks.* Wow! Just wow. I've been trying a few Rollerblade skates: RB Cruiser W, Zetrablade Elite, Bladerunner....but these are awesome. My favorite, with the Bladerunners a close second for functionality and comfort. I need a lightweight skate for artistic skating; and so far, I love the Rollerblade fitness line for that very purpose!1.) The frames. Composite, but can stand up to skate dance and slalom! At first I didn't love that feature, but it's as tough as aluminum frames. And way, WAAAY lighter. In typical Rollerblade fashion, these have nice short frames that are only as long as the boot, so SUPER maneuverable. I took the stock wheels off to replace them with 85A (I like a nice hard wheel) and rockered these 76-80-80-76 for extra maneuverability.2.) The wheels on these are super zippy compared to the Bladerunner, so I would rate them Intermediate, which is where I'm at, but a beginner might have some issues with them.Axles are very durable quality steel.3.) Nice, THICK laces, with lacing options farther up the skate if you want it. Definitely like this system better than the Elite, makes for a nice, snug fit. Keeps the feet tight and placed well.4.) Speaking of a snug fit, these have a plushy integrated liner that's a bit high, so I like that extra stability around the ankle.5.) True to Size! I am a women's 9, with narrow feet. Perfect fit. Perfect. I did say these had a nice snug fit, didn't I? I like to be able to put my foot exactly where I'm skating, whether it's crossovers or spins, so these are great!6.) Breathable AND plastic capped toe. Important! Bladerunner and Elite do not have plastic capped toes. I personally like this because I do a lot of tricks with my toe wheels.All in all, my new personal favorites! My only regret is I wish I had found these before. Cheers!
