Fancy Italian Footwear, Part XI

April 22, 2012

Subtitles for this post run along the lines of “The Grass is Not Always Greener” or “Trust Your Instincts.”  Throughout my original posts on switching skating equipment from Atlas to Roll Line plates, I was constantly whining about my loop skates feeling not quite right.  And, for the most part, though I was trying different … More Fancy Italian Footwear, Part XI
