The Rollerblade Macroblade 90 men's inline skates are a perfect model for a skater looking to replace their old skates and want to go a little faster. The higher boot design creates a feeling of stability and control when skating. The lining uses a technical mesh fabric for increased breathability; comfort similar to that of a sock. These skates have all the cushioning you'll need for a much more enjoyable learning experience. The aluminum frame meanwhile adds more power transfer and durability. The closure system is easy to use and secures the foot to maximize fit and comfort. To top it off, the bearing setup is ideal for skaters who wish to have the right amount of speed and control without going too fast.

My feet measured 273mm which seemed to suggest maybe the 9.5, but they were too small and my toes hit the end. Switched to size 10 and they fit much better. Due to seasonal smoke in the area I don't have a lot of miles on them yet (only about 5 so far) but these skates seem comfortable and reasonably fast. I chose the 90s because I wanted larger wheels, but I didn't want to get into triskates, I wanted something better for small bumps than my old Rollerblade CoolBlades (from 1994/95?) with worn out 76mm wheels, and these are a noticable improvement. The pull-string laces and velcro overlap in a weird way at the ankle (you have to tighten the pull string first), and there is an elastic loop on the skate tongue you can stuff the string into so it isn't flopping ... MoreMy feet measured 273mm which seemed to suggest maybe the 9.5, but they were too small and my toes hit the end.

I'm so glad I could snatch a pair of these! Ordered through curbside pickup, the order was ready in less than 10 minutes. The skates fit true to size, though the cushioning might need getting used to. It's still comfortable once you have them on for a while. The design is very stylish.These are perfect for urban skating! They glide right over rough pavement, (minor) bumps, cracks, and gravel like a dream. No more getting tripped up on an older sidewalk! I bought these to replace a very old pair and the difference is astounding. These feel so much more comfortable and mobile. I appreciate the Allen wrench included with the manual. I'm excited to put many more miles on these skates.

These are probably a good product but I am writing this review in case someone else has narrow feet. Length-wise they are great, I measured according to mondo points and got a 9 (same as usual size of shoes), but width-wise they are just scary. In spite of booklet instructions and specification there is no such 'lace system' or lace lock, I have to pull the laces tight every two minutes while on the move and can't really go anywhere with these because I'm just not stable for very long, heel starts moving around inside up and down, foot is not secured, even with thick socks. There is just no way to secure the foot, not snug. Very disappointing because now I've used them once I won't return them, that would be immoral since I was outdoors for 20 mins - I know I ... MoreThese are probably a good product but I am writing this review in case someone else has narrow feet.

Shipping was very fast.

I recently decided to take up rollerblading as a fun way to exercise (I hadn’t touched rollerblades since elementary school). I am still learning, so I can’t speak much from a performance standpoint, but from a comfort and fit standpoint: I love the adjustability and the way these hug my feet just the right amount. The wheels also roll very smoothly! My feet are slightly more on the narrow side and these fit just right. Something else to note is that there are no half sizes. I am almost always an 8.5, and after reading reviews I sized up to a 9–but they were way too big. I exchanged them for an 8 and they fit perfectly. Definitely try these on in person if you can!
Bought these to replace ancient, excellent Rollerblade EVO 07 skates as the left upper cuff finally separated from the lower shell. I am 60 years old and skate about 1,500 miles a year (our city has miles and miles of 8-foot wide concrete bike paths.) The Macroblade skates seem like they will work out well for me. Because I prefer 85A over the stock 82A on concrete, I transferred my old wheels to the new frames, which are aluminum, not molded plastic like the old skates. They claim the metal frame offers better "power transfer." While I am still breaking these in, I think I can feel what they mean: I do think I am skating a bit faster but no timings yet during break-in. They fit and ride differently than the old skates. Better leverage if you lean forward a bit more ... MoreBought these to replace ancient, excellent Rollerblade EVO 07 skates as the left upper cuff finally separated from the lower shell.

They claim the metal frame offers better "power transfer." While I am still breaking these in, I think I can feel what they mean: I do think I am skating a bit faster but no timings yet during break-in. They fit and ride differently than the old skates. Better leverage if you lean forward a bit more than I was used to. The old skates were US size 9 men's and the new ones are the same, good fit. However, whereas the tighter the better with the old skates, I got foot pain just above my left arch almost immediately with the new skates. I had them cinched way down, and I had to loosen them up a lot. And I mean a lot. The solution was to barely put any tension on the laces at all, and keep the Velcro strap very loose so the foot can articulate. Upper ratchet is set very loose, too, but the skates are stable; seems these shells rotate much more in motion than the older ones, and require more play. Today was my second day on the new skates and my feet were OK after 40 mins, a little pain in my right foot but I think that's just due to break-in. My full route is just over an hour so I will continue to work up to that as I break these in gradually.
So happy I upgraded to these Rollerblades! They are very comfortable and stable on roads and sidewalks. I wish the outer shell strap hadn't changed, but easy to get used to it - the old straps had a handle that made it super easy to tighten the fit - now you have to push the strap into the bucket which can be more difficult. I am a shoe size 8, but fit into a skate size 7 and my toes don't feel tight.
So it's January in the Great Plains, so I haven't had a good day yet to use them outside of my hardwood floors. But they definitely feel good and seem well-constructed, as expected. My daughter has taken-up Rollerblading and I was going to skate with her, until my early 90's Cool Blades plastic housing busted. I think I got my life out of them! Looking forward to getting out with these. Oh, and I ordered my shoe size, which is snug but seems right, with the amount of space called for between the tips of my toes and the end of the insert. The measurement chart I've seen (in cm) was off, suggesting a size smaller. Glad I stuck with my shoe size.
I am an experienced skater. This product does not give enough support as the re is too much fabric. The foot shell does not have enough for to hold the foot in place therefore preventing a strong push off and stride. Because of the instability, it is dangerous for turns and other moves. Very challenging on the rougher pavements. The original rollerblade made years ago was perfect. What happened? Wouldn't buy this again.
This is my first-ever pair of inline skates, and they work great for me. Other than a brief ice skating class when I was a kid, I haven't skated on, well, much of anything.I skate indoors on hardwood flooring, but the hardness rating of the wheels should hopefully suffice for outdoor usage as well. That said, I am getting a little wear on the wheels -- not much, though, and I think part of it is because I am a complete noob and initially occasionally dragged my skates a bit as I worked on learning steering for my swizzles / lemon drops. The wheels and brake do not leave marks on our hardwood floor, and I can control the skates just fine, by applying basic instructions on how to skate and by being careful. The brake does appear removable. In fact, a couple extra ... MoreThis is my first-ever pair of inline skates, and they work great for me.

That said, I am getting a little wear on the wheels -- not much, though, and I think part of it is because I am a complete noob and initially occasionally dragged my skates a bit as I worked on learning steering for my swizzles / lemon drops. The wheels and brake do not leave marks on our hardwood floor, and I can control the skates just fine, by applying basic instructions on how to skate and by being careful. The brake does appear removable. In fact, a couple extra parts came with the skates, so that you could remove the brake if you want (I think).NOTE: I'm pretty sure these are NOT rockered skates. They feel fairly stable and sturdy to me -- great for scissoring -- and they seem to me to roll quite smoothly.I like the closures on the skates. They make lacing up / securing the skates convenient, and the closures do a good job keeping everything secure. (They also come undone fairly easily when you release the buckle and hook-and-loop closures.)I find the skates to be reasonably comfortable and sturdy. They may fit a skosh small length-wise for some folks, and they may not be appropriate for ladies with wide feet (my opinion). But, I for one like how supportive they feel. I found there to be a brief break-in period, perhaps because I had not skated in ages. It became largely a non-issue as I practiced appropriate warm-up and cool-down stretches / conditioning and became more competent on the skates. I wish they were a bit lighter, but I got used to the weight before too long. It may just be that I'm not accustomed to skating.I see that some folks do not recommend these skates for noobs. Well, I'm a noob, and I'm rather content with them. But, especially if I were outdoors, I'd recommend protective padding and maybe a skating helmet. I know from riding a motorcycle: road rash is no laughing matter. On a hardwood floor -- as with ice -- not as big a deal, in my experience, although I still go down a bit faster on inlines on hardwood (thankfully not that often, though ; ) .One final thought: my "pink" / black skates are almost a red / black. Just FYI.So, there you have it! Good luck with your pick! = )
First of all, SUPER impressed with Dick's shipping during the quarantine. We purchased on a Friday and they arrived the following Sunday. As soon as they arrived we opened the boxes to find that the rollerblades were of great quality. I got the pink/grey color and the pink is actually more neon, which I love! The pictures on the website don't do them justice. They look so good. My husband bought the same kind of blades in red/black men's size and ended up removing the brake as he has a little more experience blading. As soon as we hit the pavement we were so impressed with how smooth the wheels felt. We ended up rollerblading for 1-2 hours. By the end, my feet definitely hurt but its all a part of the break-in process. Still, 1-2 hours on the first run without ... MoreFirst of all, SUPER impressed with Dick's shipping during the quarantine. We purchased on a Friday and they arrived the following Sunday.

I highly recommend wearing long socks and if possible shorts on the first few runs. So glad we purchased these!
