Overview
The Lightning name is legendary, but today's Rollerblade Lightning 80 Men's Skates are making history. They are designed to please in any environment, whether it urban freestyle skating, fitness skating, or skating just for fun. Although labeled "men's" by RB, it is really a unisex model that fits the same as the Rollerblade Lightning 80 Women's. If looking for a lighter color way, check out the women's version and just order one size larger.
The 2024 Lightning boots are the first to feature Rollerblade's Memory Buckles (both the 45-degree AND cuff positions). This allows you to get them on and off faster than most, with micro-adjustability set and remembered for the next time you skate. Lightning Liners are super comfortable with anatomical padding. Inside are PSI footbeds, shock erasers, and footboard sizers for fit adjustments. The boots are nice and strong with plenty of ventilation cutouts and replaceable lateral sliders. So they are strong and responsive for urban freestyle skating, but with airflow (more than the Maxxum and Twister) and comfort to skate for fitness, commuting, or just for fun! The base of the boots have metal frame mounting blocks to attach strong extruded aluminum frames (removable and adjustable) for efficient energy transfer and synergy between the boot and frame. Inside is high-quality Urban 80mm 85A Wheels & SG7 Bearings (brake is included in the box).

Sizing Chart
| GENERAL SKATE SIZING GUIDELINES | |
|---|---|
| Measure both feet with socks similar to those in which you intend to skate. Then use the measurement of the longest point and reference the model-specific size chart to determine size. How to Measure Your Feet for Skates. | |
| Proper fit has the toes not being cramped against the front. Toes may slightly brush the front as heels will settle back when in the skating position. Try on skates indoors while in a seated position. Lace and buckle both skates, tap your heels to the floor, and then stand and bend your knees to simulate the skating position.
