Classic 80s (likely 1982) Speed & Derby Style –  Reconditioned- here is a beautiful pair of vintage Riedell Model 265 roller skates. These are the "real deal" from the early 1980s, featuring the iconic double white stripes and high-quality American craftsmanship that Riedell is known for. I personally don't know anything about roller skates I cleaned them really well I reconditioned the leather I have not done anything with the wheels or the brakes which appear to need replacing.  The wheels look okay to me- again I'm not an expert -but the brakes are definitely looking like they've seen better days.  The insoles were very thin just a little piece of fabric which was basically shot and crumbling so I pulled that out - they weren't  doing any favors. I would be happy to put in some fresh insoles of some sort if buyer prefers. From what I understand these are generally sized in men's sizes. These are size 5 .5v men's making them like a 7-7.5 in women's, in theory. I wear a 6.5-7 and have a wide foot. They are very snug on me so I think these are probably like a women's 6-6.5  for a more narrow foot. They probably could be stretched a little bit because they are leather and vintage - they may have shrunk up a bit.  The 265 is a legend in the skating world. Its "lace-to-toe" design allows for a highly customizable fit, while the classic speed profile makes it a favorite for rink skating, jam skating, or vintage derby enthusiasts these are a rescue item.. 10% of the sale goes to benefit St Jude's children's research hospital. ♻️🌎💌📬😄🛼
