Vega – together with Elara – is the newest addition to the Riedell competitive boot series that has it all to help you reach your highest goals in the future.
A result of the culmination of intense research and design, Vega offers skaters lightweight performance utilizing the newest materials and design.Â
With a shortened outsole design and increased heel height, Vega provides better maneuverability and position on the blade. Moisture and abrasion-resistant microfiber uppers and hydro-shield outsole give the boot a longer performance. Vega uses the new Evofit last, which provides a broader toe shape for added fit and comfort.Â
A pre-formed fit gives a custom form around the ankle, allowing for easier break-in and better fit right out of the box. Impact-absorbing EVA foam midsole and padded footbed make sure that skaters are training with the best possible ergonomics on landings.Â
Vega is the culmination of ultimate performance, without compromising in skaters’ ergonomics and health. Thus it is the perfect choice for skaters on their path to the highest level of skating in the future.
