I was told by the guy who I bought my skates from that there's a trend in Chicago where women wear black skating boots. (Not covers... but actually black boots!) You guys who skate in Chicago can confirm this?

Cheers,

I tried to talk my boyfriend into going to Jamaica, Queens and buying me a pair as a birthday/Christmas gift but unfortunately it's a bit too much. :-) I don't know, I am torn, I definitely need new boots, maybe I'll look into a pair of Klingbeils but I am so nervous about the fit, that's how I ended up with the wrong boots last time.

I too wore riedell's for about 20 years and have had my klingbeil;s for four months, I will never go back, they feel like slippers and there is no comparison.......Love em, Love em, can't live without them:0)
