High-performance skates are truly something to behold, and the Rollerblade Maxxum XT women’s skates are right at the top of the list. If you’re looking for something that closely mimics the feel of a ski boot and ski, the Maxxum XT is the way to go. These are the main choice for Rollerblade’s Skate to Ski program, and for good reason. The stiffer plastic shell lines up well with the Skate Liner Plus, and fits great into the multi-closure system that features laces and two buckles. The transfer of energy from your foot through the aluminum frame and into the wheels is quick as lightning, and when you feel the smooth roll of the 90mm wheels, you’ll believe you are gliding on air.
