Roller DerbyElite Beta Inline Skates

I have owned many pairs of blades, I think these are my favorite so far. I have only tried them on so far but I can tell they will be awesome just from the quality of materials and how durable they seem, it’s a plus that they’re rather edgy looking as well. I am female and had to go down a size since they’re sized in men’s. I have never used my brake, never needed it, probably won’t bother to install it. Have considered removing the ones from my other pairs just haven’t gotten around to it. However I don’t recommend that for beginners. I have noticed that people who skate in quads use the toe stop, I grew up wearing inlines, no quads. Overall, great affordable pair by Roller Derby! They make great skates, I have never had any issues with Roller Derby skates.

I love these blades. They are very very sturdy and I mean after so much of riding you will have to change the straps which are very cheap on here and the wheels but that's to be expected. But all last year I wore these almost every day lol. It's almost that time again to break these out again. Highly recommend this company and they do a very great job for such a cheap price

My son joined a skating class and I decided to get these and join him. i used to rollerblade a lot when I was a teen and it was like riding a bike, I jumped right back in. These were comfortable, and sturdy and I'm 270lbs so if your worried about being to big don't worry these got you covered.

I am giving these skates 5 stars even though I have one issue with them which I'll get to. I took a chance on these skates as they are listed with no reviews at the time of writing. I was searching for a solid urban skate that was cost effective. This skate cost me $130 + tax. It's pretty hard to find a skate built like this at that price point.The skates are solid. They are a hybrid skate with laces on the bottom and buckles up top and on the ankle with a completely hard plastic shell, removable liner, and protective parts to save the skate in the case of a slide-out. The top buckle is great. The ankle buckle is a "Spyder Buckle" and doesn't get at tight as I would like but it hasn't slipped on me at all.The boot does have three holes so you can move the rails front to back but not side to side that I can tell. Everything on the boot looks good so far.The one point of contention is the wheels. The Kemistry Magnium 80mm are rated as "soft" and I can't find a durometer rating on them. If this skate is used mostly indoors or smooth concrete, this is fine. However I would imagine most people are using this skate outside and skating more aggressive and doing slides. For that reason I'm a little confused at the wheel paring with these skates. The wheels are fine and very comfortable so if you want comfort and grip you are good to go. However if you want to play street hockey or practice slides, you are probably going to replace the wheels with some 85A or harder wheels. In that case, you will be spending about $65 to do so. You can reuse the bearings so that helps but for a budget skate spending half the cost to replace the wheels is less than ideal.I'm still giving 5 stars because this isn't a flaw in the skates. Just a preference thing.

These are great - they are very sturdy and my husband skates in the them quickly and has no issues with them at all.

I actually had fairly decent hopes for these skates. Until trying to install the brake. They just give you a baggy of hardware and VERY limited instructions. They call the hardware “long” but they seem to be the same size as the hardware already on the skates. Which then makes aligning screws with an extra piece of plastic in the way impossible. So I guess now I’ll re-learn to skate without a brake and hope for the best. You’ll see my next review on full body casts.

Growing up I've always had Roller Derby brand inline skates (they were always cheaper). From the Phantoms I had in my teens to the Bajas I graduated to, they have all been extremely comfortable & performed well for an intermediate skater. These have really blown me away though. A hard boot with adjustable/replaceable frame, laces & ratchets, ABEC 7 bearings (not the best but ABEC 5 is standard at this pp) and quickchange axles for less than $150 😳... I just got these yesterday and as in the past, they have not disappointed in the comfort department right away. They are extremely comfortable, making them even that much more stable. I love how everything on the skate is serviceable or replaceable. The wheels are a bit soft for an "urban" marketed and designed skate, but who cares! I ordered some higher end 82A wheels yesterday and I'm still under $200! I would recommend these skates to anyone, beginner to intermediate, looking for a great all around urban type skate that won't break the budget. Would give 6 stars if they came with 82A or harder wheels!

These are really great price and quality.
