195 Boot

Hand sorted full grain black leather upper in signature 195 low cut design. Full grain leather lining, Shearling-padded leather tongue, stitched and cemented leather soles with flat heel lift. Open-toe design makes C width toe feel wider. Hand made in the USA. Sizes 4-13 including half sizes. $0.02 worth of opinions about these boots: Riedell recommends these boots for JAM and SPEED (not derby) applications, mainly because the counters don't provide support to keep them from breaking out relatively quickly under the stresses of derby. Our experience has been that the minimal counters helped them break in faster, and we found that they are outstanding for park / vert skating, but Ivanna couldn't keep her heels/feet in them on the track, so she lost power for lateral moves and quick accelleration. That said, they can be super comfy, and people that love these boots REALLY LOVE THEM.
