Rollerblade Bladerunner Pro 80 Women's in-Line Skate

I purchased these skates to replace an old outdoor pair. Prior to purchasing I read through the reviews and noted several state they are "true to size". I normally wear between an 8.5 and 9 shoe, so I purchased the 9 in the skate; my mistake, I should have ordered the 8. Though the 9 fits OK, it is a bit large and I believe the 8 would have fit better. Aside from that, they came with ABEC5 bearings, which I immediately switched out with ABEC9's, which made a big difference in the free-flow of the skates. I skated in them for about 3.5 hours, after which they were still comfortable, mostly. The only issue I had is they are a bit snug just in front of the heel and I ended up with very small blisters on both feet (NOTE: this may be more of an issue if you have wide feet, I have narrow feet and many of the narrow shoes are still loose around the heels on me). But, for the price of the skates, I would say they are worth the money and am hoping that with a few more skating sessions I will get the broke in better.

I purchased a similar pair waaay back when I was 20. I was unfortunate enough to have misplaced them. As with everyone else of late, I am trying to get back into my previous routine of being active and maintaining a healthy life style. I get bored with running and the gym scene is out of the budget and was never quite "me". Needless to say, I am super excited to have my blades back in my life, so I can act like I'm exercising while having fun at the same time.I wear a 7 1/2 sneaker, so I purchased these in 8. It fits perfectly, I might need to wear slightly thicker socks but other than that I threw on these bad boys as soon as I got them and skated around my apartment! :)

product arrived in timely manner and in perfect condition. I bought these for my girlfriend so that we could be more active outdoors. I was into aggressive inline skating,performing stunts and such, in my youthful days but those times are way behind me so now I just want the exercise and this type of fitness skate is just what I was looking for. the only minor issue is the soft boot design of this type of skate which takes some time to get used to but after you do its perfectly fine.

I'm a beginner skater and I bought these based on the reviews. I have been able to skate easily (although I have not skated with any other brand so hard to compare.) My only issue is with the comfort of the shoe. It does not rub or give me blisters so I know the fit is okay (true to my natural shoe size.) But they are just not comfortable. I have skated 3 times so far and eventually stopped because my feet just hurt. I'm going to research how to break them in more quickly because if they don't get more comfortable, I won't skate as often as I had planned. Hope this helps!

I ordered a size 8 even though I usually wear an 8 1/2 in shoes and they fit well. If you wear Chuck Taylors, go with the size chuck that you usually wear (because these blades don't come in half sizes). The wheels glide smoothly, and the fit is tight on the sides, but it helps keep the blades tighter on your feet. When I first tried them on, I thought it would be a problem, but I don't even notice when I'm skating. I love the zip top, and they're easy to readjust if you need to. Overall I definitely recommend these for a part-time/beginner skater.

These skates run true to size. I am a 7, and I can wear these with very thick socks, which I recommend wearing even when you just go to try them on. I had no problems with blisters, either. These are great skates to learn on. The wheels are a little bigger and softer, and it comes with hex keys and an instruction manual with tips on safety and two types of braking. It also has a recommended height of the brake pad, and an illustration for loosening and tightening the wheels. These are a pretty safe bet if you are just starting out.

For sure it's not a professional roller. But on the other hand, definitely worth the price. As it's a cheap roller, is a very good roller to be your first one. Then, if you really enjoy skating, want to stay into it and want to take your experience to another level, later you can buy another one. But for starters, it's definitely a very good choice!!!

These skates are great for beginners. I went years without skating, and these were a nice introduction back into it. Although they were a bit uncomfortable at first and I got blisters on the insides of my feet, I was able to break them in within about 3 days. These are definitely a great deal and worth the blisters!
