Vintage Altamura Leather Figure Skates MK Professional Sheffield Steel Blades
Description
Vintage Altamura Leather Figure Skates with MK Professional Blades
A handsome old pair of figure skates pairing black Altamura leather boots with MK Professional Model blades, marked Sheffield Steel, Made in England.
MK blades have been made in Sheffield for generations and are a name skaters know — these are quality-end blades, not department store fittings. The boots have the classic vintage look with solid stitched construction throughout.
Ideal as a display piece, a collector's item, a styling or photography prop, or as a restoration project for someone who wants to bring them back into service.

The boot is stamped size 11, but this appears to be a manufacturer's or Continental marking rather than a US or Australian shoe size. Vintage skate sizing does not map cleanly onto modern shoe sizing, so please measure your own foot against the figures above rather than going by the stamped number.
Important — please read
These are sold as a vintage collectible, display or restoration item. They have not been professionally inspected, and I make no representation as to their fitness or safety for skating. Anyone intending to skate on them should have them checked and remounted by a qualified skate technician first.
