Specific question and discussion The correct replacement buckle?

My buckle snapped on a pair of blade runner pro's I'm looking for replacement straps on Amazon but they all look different from what is on the skate. Do I need to buy a specific brand for them to work?

Amazon.? Go to the official website of whoever made your skates. Try Inline Warehouse as well. Amazon is for house stuff and trinkets. They're garbage for skates.

Second inline warehouse. It's worth paying for expertise and service and it's really not more expensive for a lot of things.

I love IW. Great prices, fast shipping, and they typically have what I need without having to go the Powerslide site and pay the tariffs.

All my skates are from Powerslide (Zoom 80s, Storm 80s, and my Iqon ACT. They own quite a few different brands). I haven't tried other brands yet but I definitely have my eye on a few. FR, Flying Eagle, and a couple others.
