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 95A Backspin Eclipse wheels are not only the lightest aluminum hubbed wheels on the market - they also is a feature a new profile of 59mm x 39mm. This lower center of gravity offers skaters more control and agility while speed, jam, or derby skating! Designed to be light and strong these aluminum hub roller skate wheels come with a lifetime guarantee, so skate on for a smooth roll.
