What are Factory Seconds? Besides being a great way to save a lot of money on a pair of skates, "Factory Seconds" are items that have minor manufacturing flaws or cosmetic imperfections, causing them to fail a factory quality inspection. They are NEW and 100% functional, but don't meet the manufacturer's standard for a "perfect" item, allowing significant savings for YOU! Roller Skate Nation is one of few authorized sellers of Riedell Factory Seconds.
Handmade in the USA, the Riedell 495 roller skate boots are crafted for unparalleled comfort and performance. Featuring hand-sorted full-grain leather uppers and a heat-moldable counter on the right boot's outer quarter, they ensure a personalized fit. The full-grain Chinook leather lining and genuine shearling tongue lining provide a plush interior, while the hand-rolled collar prevents pressure points around the Achilles. An innovative Ankle Closure System secures the heel with lace loops, and the stitched and cemented leather outsoles offer durability. These boots are D/B (Gamma) width for medium to wide feet.
The Sure-Grip Avanti Magnesium Plate features 10 degree with ultra-responsive double action. The sleek hollow magnesium design gives you the durability you need, without adding weight. But they did not stop there! The Avanti Magnesium Plate features the newly designed precision adjustable pivot truck that can withstand the intensity, while you enjoy the balance and durability, with fixed pivot double action trucks.
The Backspin Deluxe wheels feature a revolutionary engineering technique that securely and permanently bonds the urethane to the aluminum hub to guard against wheel separation. The aluminum hubs are ideal for larger skaters, or for skaters that need their wheels to last a long time without having too much give. Backspin wheels are designed to be both light and strong.
