Bladerunner Micro XT Ice - Black/Light Teall Ice Skates

Bladerunner is a brand of ice and inline skates owned by Rollerblade. The Italian company constantly improves their products in pursuit of staying on bleeding edge of quality and technology in inline skating. This doesn’t mean that their older solutions and designs are obsolete and discarded when new ones are introduced – quite the opposite, they are used to provide a more budget focused, entry level line of products targeted towards customers who do not care about gear being absolute top-tier as long as it serves its’ purpose. And this is what Bladerunner skates are – solid, reliable designs which in most cases, debuted in mainline Rollerblade range several years ago.

Bladerunner Micro XT ice skates are made for purely recreational use. Thus, unlike specialized hockey or figurine ice skates, they are not designed to deliver top performance and lighting fast responsiveness – comfort takes the wheel here! It is evident when we look at the boot, which is resembling comfy rec inline skates made for youngest skaters.

The boot structure gives a good amount of ankle support, providing stability and safety of skating. Rigid external skeleton with hinged cuff prevents bending ankles to the sides while still allowing for forward flex, which makes skating in these very easy. There is virtually no break-in period here – skates are super comfortable out of the box thanks to their thick padding. Insulating materials keep children’s feet warm.

The liner in Micro XT version is additionally padded with Thinsulate material to allow for extended skating sessions in low temperatures.

Boot closure is familiar to anyone using inline skates and composed of cuff buckle, lower Velcro strap and quick lacing. It secures foot in place, preventing any heel lift. Furthermore, skates are adjustable in four sizes, so they can serve for more than a single season. It’s a great value choice!

Stainless steel blade holds its edge longer and is resistant to rusting. Skates come factory pre-sharpened but we recommend sharpening them using ice rink service for optimal skating experience.
