Here are some of the main qualities that these skates poses:
Upgraded Lasting & FitThe overall lasting and fit has been improved by lowering the area around the bridge and toe of the foot to create a more secure fit and give increased control.
Upgraded Tongue PaddingThe Tongue Padding material has been improved and has been inset from the tongue to allow a better and more flexible fit around the ankle/lower leg when the skates are laced up.
Increased and Targeted Internal PaddingThe internal padding around the lower part of the ankle has been increased and also brought lower to give padding through the ankle to help with the full range of movements needed for skating.
Widened Lacing SystemThe lace opening has been widened to allow more adjustment and less creasing of the skate around the bottom of the laces. There has also been an additional hook to narrow the distance between the tightening points for a more secure fit.
Tongue EmbossingThe tongue logo is now embossed rather than a plastic bubble to allow full flexibility of the tongue around the ankle/lower leg when tightening the skates.
OverallThe Rookie artistic has the best price/value proposition in quad skating – Vegan friendly synthetic leather, Aluminium tricks, adjustable toe stopper, high quality wheels and bearings.
