The skates and blades together were about $1,000 when I purchased them new. The boots were about $600 and the blades $400. The Riedell boots are size 5 12 about 6.5 sneaker size. The boots are very high end I was practicing doubles at the time. The blades are ice blue Paramount. I bought these is 2010 and they didnt end up getting much use I was skated in them for less than a year about 2x a week. These skates have a lot of life in them yet and I really just want them to find a home and be used again. I am happy to meet you at a rink and for you to try them out.
