Features of Rollerblade Microblade Combo G - Pink/White inline skates for kids

• Classic softboot — a soft, sneaker-like upper attached to strong, composite skeleton. The fact that soft part of the skates is built using similar technologies to high end running shoes is a nice touch. Microblade share this aesthetics with Macroblade fitness skates for adults and what can we say – it rocks.
• The boot is built around Junior Fit concept, to be better suited for children’s anatomy.
• Ventilation — upper covered by engineered mesh makes it very breathable. Overall, skate provides a high level of comfort.
• Classic lacing system helps to tighten the skate and strong Velcro strap locks the heel in place and top buckle with lock stabilizes the ankle.
• Rigid cuff provides excellent support — there won’t be any unwanted bending of the ankles. The foot is secured in place and you do not need to worry that skates will unbuckle themselves or flex too much to the sides during skating.
• The frame is plastic composite and is moulded as single part with the boot’s base. This is called monocoque or unibody concept and thanks to it, the skates are really responsive. It is a hybrid frame, accepting 3 or 4 wheel setups, allowing you to switch between the two. Frame was designed to provide a low centre of gravity, which makes skating much easier for younger skaters.

Adjusted size

As in most cases of junior skates, Microblades have adjustable boot. Thanks to it, they will provide joy to children for more than just single skating season.

Adjustment mechanism is super simple to use — just press the button placed on the side of the boot and slide the toe cap to front or back as needed. There are three size ranges and each one of them have four possible toe cap positions.

These are as follows:

• EU 28-32,
• EU 33-36.5
• EU 36.5-40.5

Rollerblade Microblade Combo G - Pink/White — worth knowing!

Four wheeled versions come with — you guessed it — four wheels of 72 mm diameter and 80A hardness. This kind of setup is brilliant for kids to start on, giving them low height from the ground, moderate speed and plenty of grip.

• Maximum wheel size: 4x72mm or 3x80mm

However, one has to take into account that youngest kids sometimes struggle with 4 wheeled skates because of their weight. This is where hybrid frame design shines — you can quickly turn these skates into three wheeled ones. Just remove one of middle wheels and move another one to the centre – done. Triskating setup also opens up a possibility to make the skates faster. You can use up to 80 mm wheels, which should satisfy more advanced young skaters craving for speed. Rollerblade SG3 and brake (you can take it off if needed) complete the package.

Without a shadow of doubt, the Microblades are one of the best options to introduce children to skating. As always, by choosing Rollerblade, high level of quality is guaranteed!
