These skates retailed for $480 and have only been on the ice fewer than 5 times. Selling only because they ended up being too large; I bought a smaller pair. Highlights: * Lightweight microfiber upper with U-shaped cuff for flexibility and support * Rolled lining to protect tendons above the ankle * Swarovski crystal detailing * Covered tongue with lace slits — no more tongue slip * Reinforced heel with aluminum plates; Fusion Sole for shock absorption * Ultima Aspire XP blade fully mounted * Made on Jackson's Elite last: wider toe box, narrower heel for a secure fit
