Rollerblade Spark Pro Inline Skates 2010

Comments about Rollerblade Spark Pro Inline Skates 2010:

These are the first skates I've worn in about 10 years, and the moment I put them on I knew that they met every expectation I had for them! The boot is incredibly comfortable, my entire leg below my knee is supported, they truly become an extension of your body when you put them on. The wheels provide for a very smooth ride, and being 84 mm, I don't need to worry about gravel on the sidewalk or a crack in the road, these things will tread over them like they own the road.

I truly appreciate the HUGE discount provided by inlineskates.net, they allowed me to get my hands on a PRO pair of skates that I could manage with my budget. All in all I can say - these skates were well worth the price, and I would have paid full retail for them. If you are an adept skater, I would highly recommend these skates!

These skates are comfortable, seem pretty fast to me, and lots of fun. My old skates are 20 year old hockey-style bauer's. I'm not as nimble on these with the bigger wheels, but I'm a lot faster, which is more fun for training (10-15 mile outings). I get a great workout, but don't feel like I'm working so hard with every stride to keep my momentum. Good value, they seem well constructed.

I bought this skate because my existing skates gouged into my ankles after about an hour of skating. These skates are much more comfortable, in particular the ankle support that "hinges" forward, makes all the difference in the world. Theses skates seem a bit slower than my older skates, but this is a small thing to me because I am skate for fitness. Bottom line, these skates are COMFORTABLE!

From the moment I put these on they were the most comfortable skates I've worn in a long time. I had gotten out of inline skating after I blew my knee out about four years ago. I got this pair in an attempt to get back into it and I was amazed. I skate for hours at a time without feeling cramping in my feet and the ventilation keeps my feet cool the whole while! They are a bit heavy but then I do wear a size 14.5. Overall a great skate to get started on or get back into the sport with!

I came from a rollerskating background and have over 15 years experience. I was also an avid runner until an ankle injury forced me to walking. I wanted to find an activity that would provide relief and I purchased these blades. They are my first and I don't have much for a comparison basis but here goes.

The skate boot is very comfortable and secure. There are laces, a velcro strap below that, and a locking mechanism that secures the boot tightly to the foot. My ankle has no pain while wearing these. The speed is average, I think I could be a bit faster but these are pretty good on the asphalt trails that I exercise. I average about 7 to 8 miles a day and I have noticed pretty extensive wear on the wheels and I'm not sure if that is average for an 84A wheel. Overall I am very happy with this purchase, and would definitely recommend this skate.

Service and delivery comments:

The order went through right away and the delivery arrived two days later. I really wasn't expecting such quick service and was very pleasantly surprised. I even received great customer service through the on-line messaging support as they correctly directed me to a slightly larger size boot than I would have originally ordered. I will definitely order from this company again.

I really like the Rollerblade Skate Pro. It is so light weight, especially compared to my first pair of rollerblades that I bought 15 years ago! I am size 14.5 and had trouble finding a pair of rolerblades that fit, but this pair is true to size and very comfortable. It feel like you are wearing a comfortable pair of sneakers with wheels attached. Great pair of Rollerblades, and it lives up to the Roller Blade reputation.

Service and delivery comments:

Delivery was excellent, the product came in pefect condition, no problems at all.

This is my second pair of skates. My first, I bought 10 years ago, when I was 14. They were Ultra Wheels for about $110. The boots are still in good shape, but I felt that it's time for an upgrade.

Since these were the only aluminum frame pair at the brick and mortar sports store, it made my choice pretty easy. And the upgrade was worth it. They are maybe around half as light as my previous pair. I am not a big fan of the asymmetrical shoe lace system, but I am a big fan of the ease of tightening the boots with a simple pull of the shoe laces at the top. Also not a big fan of plastic buckles.

Overall, I what i like the most about the skates is the lightweight and the ability to get some ventilation.

My biggest concern is that I also skate on streets/sidewalks a lot, and these skates look too pretty for the streets. Hopefully their light weight can sustain some damage.
