Riedell Minx (965) - complete quad skate
- 965 fully padded, soft leather lined, leather boot
- Powerdyne Rival aluminum plate.
- Radar Bullet wheels (93a/Neon Purple/indoor)
- KWIK Zenith bearings
- Adjustable Moonwalker round toe stop
- Available in black (customizable)
- Sizes 4-13 full and half
- Split last width (narrower heel, roomy forefoot/toe box)
The 965 from Riedell features all leather uppers with soft suede-like
inner lining. Less like a traditional speed skate boot and influenced
by one for hockey, it has a low, foam padded achilles to cup the heel
and offer less irritation and blistering. The raised toe box gives a
more roomy feel and the second set of lace eyelets at the ankle provide a
more snug fit and help keep the heel seated in place. Like most padded boots, with
time the padding inside compresses leaving more space and a less
accurate fit. We recommend getting a very snug fitting boot from the
start; we've found you can safely go down at least a half size from what the
sizing chart puts you at.
Widths include standard D/B for average to wide and B/AA for more narrow
foot types.
