i love my vanillas as far as comfort goes but i skate a fliped size four plate on a sz 10 boot which most ppl kno isnt easy and it shows on the boat after i skated it for a long time and abused it the heal started to tear at the top but ive been skating it for 4 months torn and it hasnt gotten too much worse and the scuffing is the only flaw i really see on this boot it is the most comfortable boot ive ever worn in my oppinion bette rthen riedelll the only thing is call me crazy i dont like ankle suppor fort jam skating so if they could make a specific jam boot with an ankle cut out like riedell i would buy it right away great for the price though and extrememly comfortable just as comfortable as carreras but the vanilla is way higher end i highly suggest the boot to anyone

Still need some work oo the scuffing but overall a very well built boot for the price. If you feel your Riedell boot is a little tight you must try a Vanilla boot, they provide more room for the toe area.

i got a package with the dyan pro cannibals and swiss and i gotts say the r the best skates by far very comfortable and they dont take very long to break in

CHEAPLY MADE BOOTS!!!!! I bought these for my son and they cut into his ankels and started to fall apart after a months worth of skating. The soles started to come apart and the color peels off like a plastic sheet. I know 4 other people with vanillas and every one of them have had problems with them. STICK TO RIEDELL!!!!!!

I just skated on these boots for the first time a few days ago, and I have to say, they are the most comfortable piece of skating footwear I've ever had. There was maybe a 10 minute break in time at most. Great boots.
