These are considered, by some, to be the most awesome skates on the planet. Well, Cesar Millan definately put these on the map. These have only been worn twice, but never actually used. Due to back issues & surgery, I was unable to use them after purchase. They are in like new shape & have been packed away. Here's hoping someone will get to enjoy these amazing skates! They are heavy, they are sturdy & they are FAST!!!
