📐 Sizing & Fit
• Estimated Boot Size: Men's U.S. Size 9 to 9.5 (This translates roughly to a Women's U.S. Street Shoe Size 10 to 10.5). • Plate Size: Stamped "X 11" (Size 11), which is the mathematically correct factory match for a Riedell size 9/9.5 boot. • Note: The internal size markings have naturally worn off the leather lining due to age, but the size is verified by the official Snyder vintage mounting specifications.
🛠️ Condition & Details
• Riedell 220 Boots: Genuine 1960s black leather uppers. The leather has a beautiful, rich vintage patina. It is perfectly broken in but still retains excellent ankle stiffness and structural integrity. Expect normal vintage surface scuffs and creasing, but no deep leather rot or split seams. • Snyder Super Deluxe Plates: Stamped with the iconic Snyder Skate Co. Inc. branding. The aluminum has a gorgeous vintage luster with minor surface oxidation/wear consistent with a 60-year-old skate. No cracks, stripped threads, or structural flaws. • Wheels & Hardware: Equipped with classic vintage wheels and original double-action trucks. Everything is mechanically sound, though a standard inspection/cushion refresh is always recommended before taking vintage hardware to a modern rink floor.
