I purchased my first pair back in 1988. Changed the outdoor wheels for Zingers...I still have them but trashed them slightly when I started skating derby before getting new skates. They are true quality skates, with the old Super X plates. I ordered these just to have a new pair on hand as you will never see them again...you really can't go wrong with these old school skates...they are half what I paid for them 20+ years ago...
