Roller Derby Pro Line 900 Men's Inline Skates

De alta calidad y muy divertidos, años despues siguen como nuevos.

I just got back to rollerblading. My first inline skates were bladerunner by rollerblade (nothng to do with the current model). All plastic with washable/removable bootie, three buckles - similar in design to Pro Line 900 - the main reason why I ordered one.Compared to the old bladerunner model, this skate is worse. Buckles are hard to adjust, ventilation is not as good and brake is not adjustable (only matters for those who use one). Bootie seems less breathable also.That said, it appears that over the years the market had become more "sophisticated". Features available on <$100 skate are now only available on >$200 models.Today what is offered as basic to intermediate skate is a "softboot" type which in my opinion is dangerous design. They are too flexible in the ankle and fail to support when needed the most ( like navigating curbs, pot holes, t-stopping). Pro Line 900, being hardshell plastic design does not flex while weighting about the same as Rollerblade Spark Pro that I also tried (Proof of inadequate support are manufacturer's themselves putting out new solftboot models every year with "better", "improved" fit). Pro Line 900 bootie insert is also removable so the whole skate is easy to keep clean. I recommend Pro Line 900 to everyone who wants more control (safety) while paying beginner skate price. Do not let the high suggested retail prices of other skates fool you.Btw based on the one I got it appears, Pro Line 900 runs about 1-1.5 sizes to small. For example if you are 9.5 order 11.

Very happy with these skates. They go on easily, fit well, the wheels roll smoothly. Fit was as expected. I've worn them around the neighborhood and in the local rink with no problems.

They look better than the picture came a day early and they feel very sturdy... I definately recommend buying these... If you do buy these buy a size bigger than your shoe like I did... They fit really well :)

Runs a bit small

these pro-line skates are awesome to skate with, one minor thing though is that you will need to put in an insert so it will be more comfortable to wear them,that is just my opinion, other people might find that they don'n need them.

They are very nice

Having owned the original Bladerunner inline skates from a decade ago (they were superb!), we thought we would try these new RollerDerby Bladerunner look-alikes. Bad idea.The pros are:- rigid support boot- buckles instead of laces- good and properly located heel brake- outstanding lookThe cons are:- the boots are over 1 size smaller than the printed size claims they are (printed men size 10 is really closer to men size 8.5)- boot is unusably uncomfortable- in spite of claiming ABEC 7 bearings the wheels move as though they are running through wet cement (Note: I have used much more sluggish inline skates, and may have found these in the acceptable range if the boots had fit, but these skates are by no means on a par with K2 or Rollerblade brands).Bottom line, for recreational inline skates try on a pair of K2 or Rollerblade brands before buying these. These will work (which is why they get 3 stars) but they are not sized properly and they are not as "fast" or "effortless" to use as their competitors.---Update 8/4/2012: Many good words and kind thoughts toward Amazon for handling this return so well!!!

great price , great blades

It's a nice pair of inline skate, but of course everything has pros and cons. The only problem I have with this inline skate is that it's not comfy inside.

love it, very reasonable price, decent quality and delivered in three days, awesome!

Can't expect too much here, it's cheap, but it's functional.Just really want to confirm that the size has to be ordered 1 up, or else it will be too small.

Too tight even though I ordered a size bigger. Also shipping took longer than it said it would.
