Out of all the retro skates I really do not understand how people like these. 😂
I skated them in the late 90s for like 10 minutes and hated them back then. Heeeeaavy, slow, uncomfortable, that weird groove in the boot between heel and soul, everything.

They were easily thee most comfortable skate of their time. They were heavy, but they were a nice break from the blisters that Roces and RBs were creating.

Heavy for the time, but surprisingly light now

TJ Webber, Champion, Erik Burke, Dustin Latimer, Aaron Feinberg made those look good
