Macroblade 80 ABT W addresses the biggest concern of most skaters...how do I stop? The ABT (Active Brake Technology) brake system provides control and stability for new skaters who need a little extra confidence and support when stopping. Traditional brakes work very well, but can be challenging for some to use. Skaters have to lift their toes up on the braking skate and roll on just a few of the wheels which creates some potential balance or control issues. ABT on the other hand is activated at the cuff and allows the skater to slide their braking foot forward to keep all eight wheels on the ground adding stability and enhancing balance during the braking process. This results in a smooth, gradual braking motion which instills more confidence in the skater. ABT is also height adjustable so as the brake pad wears down it can be lowered to enable the foot to slide forward the same distance every time for consistent stopping power and technique. The ABT system comes on the right skate but can be switched to the left one. Using the brake will be easy and comfortable because the Macroblade boot will blanket the feet in comfort from the performance mesh and the wheel/bearing set is ideal for skaters to have the right amount of speed and control.

LOVEEE these!! Don’t settle for less!
***Blades I purchased are pictured on the right (teal/grey) the blades on the left are NOT from this seller.***I adore these blades. The ones pictured on the left (Pink) are from Academy Sports store and were about $100 cheaper and you can tell the quality difference.These blades feel much more high quality and aren’t all plastic like the pair on the left. The laces are much easier to tie and keep in place, the padding is so much more supportive and hold your ankle/calf without giving you that sore blistering feeling. The added brake without the wheels coming off the ground makes slowing down so much easier and safer. I take my dog every weekend and I feel so comfortable and confident in these blades. And plus, they are ADORABLE. Don’t pay less for blades, the quality shows and your feet will thank you. They are true to size and I love them!!!

ABT is worth it
These fit so much better, the padding is better than cheaper blades and the ABT braking is awesome, absolutely necessary. Love these.

Good for Beginners
I really like these rollerblades. Very smooth and pretty.I made the mistake of not investigating about the brakes which do not lift very much. I have been skating my whole life so I don’t need them almost touching the ground.Overall, good product. I recommend these for beginners.

Great product.
I had to return this item because it was one size too small and immediately ordered the right size. Amazon reasons for return did not include size issues. I want to make sure that my return is not negative. These are great blades

Great rollerblades, but sizing is smaller than normal
Love these rollerblades and the advanced braking technology, but it is definitely smaller than regular size. I regularly wear a size 8 and I had to return for a nine. The pretty color was a bonus.
