Excellent For Beginner And Intermediate Skaters

Supportive inline skates, supportive rollerblades

Exceptional Support For Learning

The foundation of any great skate is the structure (boot). The Advantage Pro XT is designed with a built in frame for newer skaters to have more control and response when skating. Having more control enhances stability. The structure also lowers the center of gravity to help with balance. Combine these things with the sleek, anatomical design of the shell and you have the makings of a high quality skate with great lateral support, fit and value to satisfy the needs of any entry level skater.

Comfortable inline skates, comfortable rollerblades

Generous Padding

The ideal way to complement the fit and support of the shell is to have comfortable padding. The lining is designed to improve the skating experience with strategically shaped and placed pads. This cradles the feet in comfort and reduces foot fatigue for longer more enjoyable skating. Ample cushioning in both the liner and tongue create a plush feel and ensure the feet are protected in every stride, push and forward flex.

Secure inline skates, secure rollerblades

Reliable Closure System

The buckle, powerstrap and lace closure system secure the feet inside the skates to enhance the fit and add additional support. When learning, newer skaters tend to forget how important the closure system is. Improper fit or support can compromise the performance and affect ones ability to skate. During the skate stride this system will securely support the instep and lock in the ankles to improve skating performance.

Wheel grip, inline skate wheels, rollerblading wheels

Smooth, Easy Roll

The wheel and bearing combination is perfect for a beginner. Speed and control are balanced nicely to create a ride that is not as intimidating but still provide a smooth easy roll. When learning, 80mm wheels will allow for easier turning while the ABEC 7 bearings will help the wheel spin more freely. The end result is moderate speed with less effort for easier learning.

- Enjoy your local skate paths or simply cruise your neighborhood.

- Can be done anywhere there is a smooth surface.

- Using skates as transportation is a fun way to get to your destination (and save some money)

- Skating with others is a great social activity.

- Look for a local Rollerblade 10K challenge or other skating events.

- Skates are great travel companions to explore new urban environments and sightsee with.

Find Your Skate Size

Most skates follow your shoe size.

Check the following:

- The skate's closure system should be secured snugly. Tap the heel on the floor to push it into the rear of the boot.

- Standing with knees bent or skating, the heel should be secure with minimal lift. A skate that is too loose can compromise support.

- Toes should not be cramped against the front of the skate.

- Toes should lightly brush against the toe area. Your heels will settle back giving them the proper room and allowing the skate to feel snug.

- Skate socks make a big difference in the performance and fit of skates.

Advantage Pro XT is an excellent recreational beginner model with pertinent features for complete comfort and control at a great value. Ideal for someone that is looking for a lower price, great fitting and quality skate. Bladerunner uses some of the Rollerblade know-how of making skates but scales it down just a bit with little compromise to make it more affordable. The liner is very comfortable, the structure is supportive and the closure system locks the foot in the skate securely. The built-in composite frame design allows the skate to be closer to the ground for a lower center of gravity which helps beginners with stability, shock absorption, and control. Wheel and bearing combo are perfect for the beginner so the ride is not as intimidating but still provides a smooth easy roll.
