The Luna boots by VNLA are sleek, stylish and classy roller skate boots made from genuine black suede. Featuring metal eyelets & hooks with an oil slick finish, these boots are sure to turn heads when you roll by. Want classic style with an ultra-modern twist? The Luna Avanti roller skate boot is exactly what you've been looking for! With a comfort lining, you will feel as good as you look in the Luna.
Choose your Sure-Grip Avanti roller skate 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 Luna Avanti roller skate 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).
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.

VNLA Luna Avanti
I was looking for my first pair of roller skates and wanted something I’d be happy with as a beginner and intermediate skater. I wear 13 2e shoes and was advised to go up to size 14 to also accommodate my inserts for flat feet. Just finished my first skating session and could not be more pleased with both the fit and performance of the skates. Resides the wide feet, I have a bone spur on the outside of my left foot. The soft suede boots felt great after 90 minutes of continuous skating and I expect them to mold even better in the next few months. I was afraid the Sure Grip velvet wheels might be too slippery for me, but they seem to have just the right amount of grip and slide. I weigh 230 lbs, so replaced the stock truck cushions with Sure Grip red barrels on top and purple conical below. Extremely happy with my purchase!!

Great Built!
I purchased the mag plate option and enjoyed the fit, comfort, and performance of the skates right out of the box. I have issues with many sport shoes being too narrow, and these VNLA boots were a perfect fit and required no breaking in. The VNLA bearings it comes with take a while to break in- its been over a week and there are one or two that are still a little stuck. The Avanti plate is lighter, sits higher, is noticeably shorter in the wheel base than my previous (Moxi Beach Bunny) skates. It's still an adjustment period but I'm enjoying my time on these skates so far!

I love these skates!
I could not be more thrilled with my purchase. I received these within a few days of my order. The Vanilla packaging is a great unboxing experience; nice handle, all black with luminescent lettering. Everything about these scream quality. The boot is nicely padded. I have size 13 wide feet, and I'm able to wear these no problem. I love the contrast of the white magnesium plate against the black boot. I don't understand how these wheels can be so good. They're sticky and slippery at all the right times. Make sure you check your wheel nuts before you use them. Some of mine were overtightened.
