Product details
People with really big foot size do not have many options when it comes to choosing skates. These essentially boil down to:
- Custom made carbon skates.
- Open skeleton in which you strap-in your own boots, like in Powerslide Doop.
- Rollerblade RB XL skates.
We would like to introduce you to last option. RB XL have been created for those who wear size between EU48 and EU52.
To clarify something right out of the gate: these are fitness skates. However, they are adequately reinforced in comparison to regular size equivalents. The cuff and skeleton may seem like in every other fitness skate, but when you look at their proportions in relation to soft upper, it is clear that they were designed to provide superior ankle support.
When it comes to softboot itself – it has been modeled after comfortable sport style shoes, which makes it pretty lightweight (relatively!) and very comfy. Anatomically shaped foams are given in case of Rollerblade’s product. The upper is a breathable mesh made out of strong, synthetic material. Skates come with fast lacing system, which is pretty simple – lace loops allow you to simply pull (a little bit elastic) laces to achieve a tight fit.
Rollerblade stood up to expectations when it comes to frame. It’s length is adjusted for users with large feet and furthermore, taking into account that they are usually men of heavy built, it is very durable. This is thanks to extrusion and machining which were used to shape a high grade aluminum alloy. Frame fits four 90 mm diameter wheels and have low profile to place your feet closer to wheels and minimize center of gravity, making skating easier. It measures 330 mm, which is more than regular 4x100 mm frame!
When it comes to wheels, they are Performance class model and won’t let you down. Their 85A hardness is great option for the beginners as it balances comfort and roll, but of course you can replace them with any 90 mm wheels of any hardness. SG5 bearings are durable and roll very well.
RB XL may not be top tier technical achievement, but they are meeting the expectations. Well made skates for recreation and fitness, with structure durable enough to handle forces generated by taller users. You won’t be disappointed!
About manufacturer
Rollerblade are industry’s veterans and one of the most important brands in inline skating history. The company was founded in year 1982 by Brennan Olson and Scott Olson, in Minnesota. Since then, Rollerblade underwent several acquisitions and finally became a part of Tecnica Group, a corporation which gathers several well-known and highly valued sport brands under its umbrella.
Contrary to popular belief, Rollerblade was not the first company to mass-manufacture inline skates. However, they were the first company to sell them worldwide and invest heavily in promotion of the rising sport. A testament of their success is the fact that we now use “rollerblading”, a word derived from company’s name, as a synonym to inline skating. Inline skates themselves are often called “rollerblades” or in shortened form, “blades”.
In this day and age, Rollerblade stands for quality. They are not the most innovative of the brands, their catalogue is not as expansive as some others, but without a shadow of doubt – a product with Rollerblade logo on it, is a quality one - from the simplest recreational skates to high end speedskating boots. Company’s approach can be described as steady evolution rather than revolution – this may not appeal to some customers, but guarantees that RB’s skates are always a safe bet. It’s worth remembering that Rollerblade do have resources to give us a surprise from time to time – being in one family with winter sports giants like Nordica, Tecnica and Blizzard Sports gives them an opportunity for technology transfer.
Even though Rollerblade prefers quality over quantity, they offer skates for almost every style: from kid’s skates, through recreational, fitness, speed and aggressive to urban skates. The only area where their catalogue is lacking is freestyle slalom; Rollerblade, to this day, has not created a model dedicated for this type of activity, even though their older urban skate, Twister, was a very popular choice among beginners and intermediate slalom enthusiasts at the beginning of the century.
Rollerblade have always worked with skaters and attracted best of them. There was a time when their aggressive inline skating team was unmatched – the very first pro skate of one of most talented and highest regarded skaters in history, Alexander Broskow, was made by Rollerblade. They were the first company to release a pro-model of an urban skate with Fusion 84 Greg Mirzoyan. It’s worth mentioning names like Ben Brillante, Sven Boekhorst, Robert Guerrero, Vincent Vuvankha and Danny Alridge – all skate or skated for Rollerblade. Moreover, the company is trying to make ambassadors of skating out of people who practice other sports – we can mention a loose cooperation with skiing superstar, Sierra Quitiquit. The company also tries to appeal to skiing audience in particular by their campaign and training program called “Skate to ski”.
