Hello all,

So I just figured out how to post pictures here on SkateLogForum a few minutes ago. First order of business was to upload a picture of my Riedell Juice skates from a post that I made on June 5, 2019. I have upgraded since then and I am selling the Juice skates to a guy at my rink.

A lot of folks at the (two) rinks I frequent wear Edea boots (Classica, Fly, and a few Jazz roller boots). After doing some research and getting opinions from those skaters I decided to get fit for a pair of Classicas. I have wide (E-EE) feet and people on the forum were talking about how Edea boots run very narrow. However, after calling the folks at SkatesUS they told me to trace my feet w/ measurements and send the tracings to them. I did so and they were confident that they could mold a boot to my specifications. I went ahead and bit the bait. I got my Classicas about a week ago and I am very pleased to say that they fit like a glove. The higher heel is definitely noticeable but I was able to adjust after a few sessions. There is literally no break in with these and the plates are super responsive. Overall, I am ecstatic with my purchase :-)

My setup is:
- Edea Classica Boots
- Roll Line Mistral Plates w/ 8mm axels
- Bones Swiss Ceramic 8mm Bearings
- 103A Bones Super Elite 62mm Wheels

Roll line Dance plate
Roll line dance wheels

Currently shopping for Bones Whiskey 101A wheels

@EoinCuinn,

Very nice setup!! Those are some sharp skates and the Dance plates add to the aesthetic and performance I’m sure... I was considering the Fly boots but more folks had experience with the Classicas. Plus I heard the Fly is a stiffer boot which isn’t necessarily better (or worse) for rhythm skating. May be a set for me in the future though!! As for the Roller Bones 101a Whiskey Super Elite wheels, I’ve bought 4 sets of them (Roller Bones 101a/103a) in the past month or two from an online retailer. The name slips my mind but I can find the info if you’d like and pm it to you?

Take care

I'm in Australia, so postage might be a killer, but yes please send it my way.

They are an amazing setup, but I am very glad I didn't get them as my first skates. I had a Rondo Boot / variant plate first. The Flamenco is a very stiff boot, and the plate is extremely responsive, I would have struggled a lot if these had been my first professional setup. I think you made the right call with the Classica. You can always go a Fly / Flamenco later on.

Yes, yes they were.....

Worth every cent though. The responsiveness on these things when dancing is unbelievable.

I decided to buy skates and learn outdoor skating this last summer after about 30 years off. I bought myself some Riedells. And promptly bailed on the ramp at the skate park.

So I got some Eevee toe covers (Pokemon) and a Mr Clean Magic Eraser, and they're gorgeous again now.

Those are my skates that are like "my feet". My derby skates are not "one with me" yet. They're a little too big and I don't skate derby yet anyway, but I do so love the look of them and the overall feel regardless! (and putting those FX1 wheels on my Riedells and using them at the rink is the best speed I've worked up so far!)
