Rollerblade Maxxum Classic Inline Skates

A: I would say both the Maxxum 84's would be considered "moderate" but these are still very quick skates, just nowadays with the larger wheels it's hard to list these as "fast" and then list a 110mm wheeled skate the same. If you are looking for a 3 wheel skate but not looking for a super large wheel I'd recommend taking a look at the Macroblade 100 3WD which offers a 100mm wheel, there are no 3WD skates with 90mm wheels at this time but if the 100mm is too much you could replace them with 90's but if you're a confident skater you will have no issue. I recently went from a 4 wheeled 90mm as my main skates to a 3 wheeled 110mm and I was hesitant at first but midway through my first lap I was completely comfortable.

A: Yes, there is an extra short axle included with the skate to use if you remove the brake.

A: Yes, Rollerblade recommends going a full size up in the Maxxum series of skates. You would actually want the size 8.5 in this case since this is a men's skate and is sized in men's sizing. It really does depend on your desired fit, I took my Maxxums only a 1/2 size larger and they fit snug but that's exactly how I wanted them to fit. Keep in mind your personal preference when ordering and the type of skating you are doing. If more leisure type skating go the full size, if you skate hard and often the 1/2 size may be best. We also offer the guaranteed fit program which allows purchase of 2 to 3 skates with easy returns so you can purchase a few different sizes and try them on.
