You should search for the Kinetic 78's in the size needed to see if it brings you to the correct listing for your needs. **Q: my son wear 6shose what size?** A: Read all respones. **Q: I'm an 11.5 in shoes should I go for the 12?** A: Hello Julius! Most skates fit true to shoe size, so you want to try to stick with a size 11.5, as the boot may stretch a half size once it has been broken in. **Q: Would these fit a size 12/12.5 US shoe size with the size 12 skates?** A: I'm a size 10 US and the size 10 skates fit perfectly. I hope this would also apply to the size 12 skates. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Really cool looking rollerblades for guys, no need to look further. *by J***S on Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2014* These rollerblades are the coolest on the market in my opinion. I haven't rollerbladed in a while and when I went rollerblading for 8 miles I got tired fast and my feet started to hurt a lot in these, but I can't say its the blades' fault, probably just not meant to rollerblade that long. So can't really speak for the comfort of these, but I used to roller blade at an indoor rink every week for about 3 hours and didn't get my feet tired like this. It feels just as tiring as ice skates. Also these are kind of out of style at least in the New England area so blading in a crowded area might make you feel inferior but again its not the blades' fault! But if you're looking to blade with style, look no further. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars ... I owned was 20+ years ago and it is amazing how far these have come *by G***G on Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2015* Last pair I owned was 20+ years ago and it is amazing how far these have come. These ride very smooth and roll great. Yes there is effort involved, but rolling resistance seems very low on these. I've ridden these every other night since I bought them and can't be happier. For a <$100 skate, these greatly exceeded my expectations and I'd buy them again (looking at buying pairs for my kids now). ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Great deal on starter skates. *by J***N on Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2015* It's so hard to find black inline skates since the sport isn't as popular, but I'm so happy I found these. For the price and the style, these are great. Comfortable, but they are definitely starter skates as the stock wheels seems pretty average. Size-wise, I'm usually a women's 8 or 8.5 and these leave just enough space for wiggle room. I would recommend these for anyone who wants to skate leisurely. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/760992-skate-mens-kinetic-78-inline-skates](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/760992-skate-mens-kinetic-78-inline-skates) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-06*
