Yes, women can use rollerblades designed for men, however there are a few things to keep in mind.

1. The sizing is different. A woman who wears a size 7 in a woman's skate would be a 6 in a men's skate as women's sizing is 1 larger than a man's.

2. The cuff on the boot of a men's rollerblade is going to rise up higher than the cuff of a woman's skate. Women's rollerblades are designed to accommodate the difference in anatomical differences between a man and a woman. The calf muscle of a woman is lower than a man's, therefore the cuff does not come up as high on women's skates. If you are a woman who intends to use a men's skate, keep this in mind because it may be a bit uncomfortable at first. It may also be a bit difficult to get the ratcheting buckle to close.
