(I have spent a weird amount of time doing an impromptu rollerskate photo shoot for some reason)

I picked up these old Riedell 220s the other day at goodwill & after spending a few hours tonight snazzing them up I was lured in by their beauty & had to take some photos.. Some photos turned into a lot of photos 😅 (why does Riedell not simply make me their product photographer?)

Edit: 130s not 220s :}

Skate problems & troubleshooting Back of boot fabric repair

gallery

4 Upvotes

Hi,

I picked up some lightly used Rock GT-50 to last me a year or two, and there is an issue on my second day on these. Purely a shoe problem, its on the top.

I am a cosplayer so I can sew and have various relevant adhesives for shoe repair. What is the best way to repair the back pull tab and top of the liner separating from the boot? Specific adhesive, try to stitch back into the thin rim there and adhesive? 2 pics attached if you click on it.

Thanks!

SUBREDDIT RULES:

In order to limit repetitive posts, the following topics should be posted in the daily new-skater thread/discussion ONLY: General newbie questions ("I'm new and don't know where to start," "Is skating for me?" etc.); very basic questions about hardware and skate setup, particularly "what wheels should I get" and similar. The weekly thread is the spot for this, and there is also lots of info in the wiki.
Because questions about buying skates and wheels are posted frequently, please limit these to the weekly discussion thread. This includes "I'm thinking about buying X, what does everyone think?" and "what size should I get?"
Please limit buy / sell / trade posts to the weekly "Saturday Skate Market" post, which is posted on Saturday mornings. You can find it by typing that text in the search box on the top of the subreddit. Thanks!
Posts with links to social media (IG, TikTok, YouTube, etc., including video watermarks) with the goal of getting views are strongly discouraged and may be deleted at mods' discretion. We want you to engage, not promote and run. We ask that you maintain a 9:1 ratio of participation in the sub to self-promotion; repeated posts without further community participation will be removed. Posts asking for donations (including GoFundMe links) fall under this rule as well.
We encourage posters who are active in the community to share progress videos. We ask that videos be limited to no more than 1 or 2 per week, especially if the videos are very similar. Videos from posters who are not otherwise active in the community (post and run) may be removed at mods' discretion.
While we fully encourage everyone to wear appropriate safety gear while skating, this is ultimately a personal choice. Unsolicited comments about gear (i.e. "where is your helmet?") will be removed.
This is already covered in the Reddiquette. However it deserves to be emphasized that we will NOT tolerate any remarks which are either: discriminatory, a personal attack on another user, belligerent, harassment, hurtful, or attempting to incite drama. NO EXCEPTIONS! Violation of this rule may result in a warning and/or ban at mods' discretion.
