Finally replaced my Chicago Skates of 10 years. I researched for 2 weeks and had to come to a decision within my budget! For 60 bucks! I had my heart set on the floral Impalas but I thought these Papaisson “leather uppers” would sustain. When I become an intermediate skater, I will get suede! But for now, I’m content. I need to break them in a bit!
