10 Best Rollerblades in the Philippines

1. OXELO Adult Freeride Inline Skates MF500

Best value for money

Born in 2008 in Decathlon’s roller sports section, OXELO has been helping skaters discover urban roller sports and eco-sustainable non-motorized transport ever since. The brand’s product line offers the best value for money and the MF500 Freeride Adult Inline Skates pair is our favorite. These skates are fantastic for anyone looking to take their skating to the next level. They’re also affordable, versatile, easy to use, and durable, but we particularly liked the thick foam liner with nylon and Lycra inner that makes them incredibly comfortable. These skates are simply ideal for exploring the city, slaloming, or going for a ride.

Still, the skates are stable, strong, and adjustable in four sizes, so growing active kids needn’t worry.

3. Rollerblade Zetrablade Men’s Adult Fitness Inline Skate

Beginners’ favorite

Zetrablade is an excellent choice for novice skaters seeking an entry-level skate. This inline skate provides unrivaled support, comfort, and stability at a reasonable price. These qualities are made possible by its soft shell, heel brake, and four 80mm wheels, which make it extremely comfortable and easy to use. There’s also a secure closure system that works in conjunction with a monocoque frame. We appreciate this feature since it lowers the center of gravity and improves balance. Overall, we believe that the Zetrablades should be your first choice if you want to try skating.

The rollerblades are specifically built for men, but women need not worry because Zetrablade has designed something for them too. The Zetrablade Women’s Adult Fitness Inline Skate works just as well, except the size and fit are more precise for the ladies.

Why buy this:

• Ideal for casual and novice skaters
• With durable shell for added support
• Has a secure closure system that ensures a snug fit

4. Roller Derby Women’s V-Tech 500 Button Adjustable Inline Skate

What we loved best about this Roller Derby Women’s Inline Skate was its mint shade. Sure, black or grey appear very elegant, but these are the most common colors for rollerblades in the Philippines. Also, the shade isn’t too flashy, and it’s actually rather nice to look at.  Besides the color, we like the ultra-light construction because it allows more movement and flexibility with every stride. It’s light and fast too, with smooth-rolling 76mm urethane wheels that absorb the bumps of the road! So, for stylish, high-quality women’s inline skates, look no further than Roller Derby.

Why buy this:

• Adjustable sizing at the push of a button
• Quick and easy to put on with triple buckle closure
• Incredibly lightweight

5. Chaser Philippines Mellow Rollerblades

Another one that caught our attention because of the color is this pair of Chaser rollerblades. It comes in a totally elegant lilac shade without being over the top. It is also ideal for beginners because it is designed for quad skate. The best thing is that it has fun wheels as they light up with built-in LED lights. This makes skating at night even more fun. Because of these features, it’s no surprise that this is highly rated on Shopee, with a perfect 5-star rating!

Why buy this:

• Great for beginners
• Highly rated
• High-top, figure style shoes to ensure optimal fit

6. Bladerunner by Rollerblade Advantage Pro XT Men Philippines

The Bladerunner by Rollerblade Advantage Pro XT is another beginner-friendly inline skate that we love. It has a soft liner, a support frame, and a closure system that locks the foot firmly in the skate. We also think it’s liked by many for the integrated composite frame design that allows the skate to be lower to the ground and have a lower center of gravity. It just implies that it’s great for practice as it will be less scary while still providing a smooth, effortless ride!

Why buy this:

• Provides extra foot support and balance
• Has a padded liner that ensures a snug fit
• Features bearings for moderate speed with less effort

7. Roces M12 UFS Men’s Rollerblades

Excellent men’s inline skates for grinding

Doing stunts with entry-level inline skates can be risky, so you should pick one that’s suitable for that. In this case, we suggest you look at the men’s Roces M12 UFS Rollerblades, which are fantastic for grinding. It boasts an exceptionally durable high-grade polyurethane shell and cuff. This makes them particularly strong and ideal for aggressive skate stunts. It can also offer secure and solid stability while skating, thanks to its nice memory aluminum buckle and aggressive Roces lacing!
