VNLA (Vanilla) has designed and manufactured high-end roller skates and skate components since 2005 and is the premier brand for jam and rhythm skaters. The Á La Mode is the newest addition to the VNLA collection and is the sweet ride skaters have been asking for!

The boot is made from genuine suede in 5 creamy colors inspired by your favorite sweet treats: Blue Moon, Pistachio Green, Mocha Brown, Ube Purple and Creamsicle Orange (coming soon). The blue, green, brown, orange, or purple velvet roller skate boot offers structured support throughout and is lined with an ultra-comfy patterned liner to keep your feet feeling snug.

Choose your Sure-Grip Avanti plate: Aluminum or Magnesium (white)! Sure-Grip brings you the next generation in plate design, the Avanti. Both plates feature 10 degree and ultra-responsive double action in a sleek hollow design that offers performance and durability without sacrificing lightness. The trucks on the Magnesium plate have a ball/pivot adjustment, while the trucks on the Aluminum plate have a fixed adjustment. The Magnesium plate is also a much lighter plate than the Aluminum.

This set up comes with Sure-Grip Velvet wheels, a reinvention of vintage Vanathane wheels. Vanathane wheels were a term used for the early roller and skateboard wheels from the decades before urethane wheels. Traditionally these wheels are known for providing a perfect balance between slip and grip on hardwood skating floors, with resistance against flat spots/flattening. The wheels are complete with VNLA Reaction ABEC-9 bearings. 

Sizing tip: the A La Mode boot runs approximately 1/2 size large. Half sizes should go DOWN 1/2 size as opposed to up. If your boot is a little roomy, we recommend adding a VNLA Contour Insole. 

For example:

If you wear a Ladies' 8.5 shoe, order the Men's 7 (Ladies' 8-8.5). 

If you wear a Men's 10.5 shoe, order the Men's 10 (Ladies' 11-11.5). 

Buying roller skates is just like buying a pair of shoes. Your shoe size will determine the size roller skate that you need. If you would like to talk with a Skate Rep about sizing please click the button at the bottom right-hand corner or call us at 913-894-9339.

We also have a "Worry Free Guarantee" - if the skates are not a great fit just send them back to us and we'll ship you out a better size at no additional cost.
