Rollerblade Lightning 80
Women's Skates
4.6
Overview
The Lightning name is nostalgic from the 1990's but here it is with many modern upgrades. The Rollerblade Lightning 80 Women's Skates look great in white and teal, with comfortability and durability to suit any skater in any environment. Although labeled "women's" by RB, it is really a unisex model that fits the same as the Rollerblade Lightning 80 Men's. If looking for a darker color way, check out the men's version and just size down one size.
One very important change is the Memory Buckles on both the 45-degree and cuff area. 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.
Features high-quality Urban 80mm 85A Wheels & SG7 Bearings (brake is included in the box).

Smooth exchange, awesome skatesI had a great experience shopping with Inline Warehouse!
Knowing skates should fit tight, I measured my feet and followed the Rollerblade sizing chart, which suggested going a size down from my shoe size. However, when the skates arrived, they were extremely tight- my toes were curled and still squished, even when bending my knees.
The exchange process with Inline Warehouse was very smooth and easy. The new skates fit great- toes touch the front when standing and barely touch when bending- and I can always use the footboard sizer if they loosen over time.
The skates themselves are awesome! I used to skate as a kid and recently picked it up again after watching PollySkates on YouTube, who recommended this model.
Excited to skateInitially, I ordered the men's size seven.And I have to say that inline warehouse was great with returns. I saw that the women's size nine was still available. They fit my foot perfectly.The smaller size pinched my feet really bad.It was painful. I did go by the sizing chart in centimeters for my foot size, by the way. So I recommend sizing up a half size. I just put the included sizing pad inside the skate and it was perfect.Not too snug but not loose. Another feature. I also like about the skate. Is that it is adjustable at the calf. As a big girl, my legs don't necessarily fit most skates, and I was able to adjust the memory lock settings to fit a larger calf. I haven't really skated on them yet, but I have worn them.The wheels are smooth and I recommend for any person who is interested in the lightnings.
Great purchaseI love these skates! They’re great quality and they’re really nice. I needed sturdier skates that would provide more support and that is exactly what these gave me. I’m a size 7.5 in women’s shoes and had followed the size chart to find my size, but they were small so I exchanged them for a bigger size. The exchange was processed and my skates were to sent to me very quickly. Great skates and great experience.
A blastMy wife loves the skates, she say they are comfortable and a blast to skate with.
Great pickI love these boots so much. They are so comfortable and fit like a glove for me with the customizations available. Im a womens 7.5, and it can be difficult to find a pair of well fitting skates. These check every box for me. I do find the wheels to be a bit slow but those can be swapped. Overall Im really happy with these.
Good skateBoot is very snug but after breaking in a bit much more comfortable. Fun and great skate.
Sturdy, Snug and Good for Urban SkatingOverall it's been great skating in these. They're easy to adjust with the straps, but it almost makes the laces feel like decorations because the straps do all the work. The straps are adjustable in a couple ways so it's easy to get a perfect snugness. The toe box was a little tight but I think a little more breaking in will have it just right. They felt sturdy skating on the street and some sidewalk, living up to their urban designation.
Huge thanks to Inline Warehouse for an easy exchange. I originally ordered the wrong size and the exchange was simple and quick.
Great skates, highly recommendedI am new to rollerblading and these were recommended by Polly skates on Youtube. She has helpful videos for learners.
Anyways, i’m SO happy with these skates because they are sturdy, stylish, quick to put on/off, smooth, and comfortable!!!
My first pair i got from thrift store so it was time to buy a fresh set of skates. Very happy with purchase. Thank you
2024 "Black Lightning" 11.0Stock bearings and wheels, above average fast, 1st time on a metal frame that dampened the st. Vibration so well. So smooth Im skating on Tibetan prayer wheels. Boot was great for 1st part of year now they r worn and ankles tend to get sore. Negatives frame came apart repeatedly had to lock tite them. Lace holes rusted! Had to sand and hit w/ rustoleum
Love theseSuper cute and awesome. I wear a size 10 in womens shoes. I usually wear a size 9 in skates but ordered these in the 10/10.5 and they fit perfect. However, if you have super thick area above the ankles you'll find it hard to get them fastened. My left leg swells and i had to have help just getting the first clip in and i couldn't buckle it fully. I was still able to skate in them just fine though with the first buckle and the laces. I 100% recommend these.
Love my productVery comfortable.
The Lightning's and Rollerblade are backI started skating in the 90s. My wife (college sweetheart at the time) had the original Lightning TRS skates and I had the Macroblade ES. When I called Inline Warehouse for new skates for my daughter, I was surprised to hear that Rollerblade brought back the Lightning namesake. These skates are like a perfect cross between the Lightning TRS and Macroblades that I skated, modernized with 80mm wheels, faster bearings and an aluminum frame! While they might not be as rugged as the original Lightnings, they are lighter and more breathable. Only complaint is that the frame is not rockerable. FWIW, I currently skate Seba FR1s.
Love ItI'm really enjoying the skates! They are really comfortable, I like the insert that helps it fit a little more snuggly, and the wheels...Oh My Gosh...the wheels, they are soooo smooth. You feel like you are gliding when you are on the skates. Overall, a really great beginner skate that is fun to use!
Solid skatesVery solid skates. I haven't skated inlines in several years but decided to pick it up again and I'd say these are great for that purpose. The memory cuff buckle is absolutely fantastic so I don't need to continually crank the buckles.
I normally am a size 7.5 when buying quads or inlines but I had to size up.
Love themI just got my Lightning Rollerblades and I love them. They are comfortable in the foot area and the color is gorgeous. My only complaint is the upper buckle is too tight against my leg, even on its biggest setting. So it feels like it’s squeezing it too tight and there is no way to loosen it. I tried without it buckled down and that was too loose. This is my first pair of rollerblades so I haven’t tried the original buckles to compare. But I imagine it gives you a wider range of fits. It seems the memory buckles don’t have as big of a span of size for the buckle adjustments. I would say my calf size is above average for a woman. I’ve always been bigger-boned. And the memory buckles don’t adjust to fit my calf. The size is accurate. I normally wear a size 9 shoe and after measuring my feet, the size chart recommended the 9-9.5 size. It’s fits perfectly with the footboard inserted.
Size upI haven’t skated in them but look to be good quality. Nice hard boot with ventilation. I purchased size 7-7.5, SIZE UP. I normally wear a ladies/womens 7 in shoes and even in other skates. This was way too tight, my toes were scrunched up. I will update my review once I get the size exchange.
