This is a complete skate package – NO customer substitutions. Skates U.S. may substitute products of equal or higher value at no additional charge. Packages are custom mounted and assembled after the order is placed.  Please allow for this time. Roll-Line plate (frame) sizes are dependent on the boot size. If your boot size allows an option of frame size, please indicate your choice in the order notes on the checkout page. Longer plates are better for freestyle, shorter plates are better for figure and dance. Please determine the boot size FIRST. Be SURE of your SIZE before ordering! Please note that packages, once MOUNTED, are considered final and are not returnable. These special packages are NOT a part of the Skates U.S. Boot Sizing Program. Performance EDEA boots are designed with lightness in mind making them more responsive. The lightness helps the developing skater with their feel on the floor and thus helps improve performance. The unique insole made with fiberglass and nylon allows more power transmission and increases the stability. It also allows for the thickness of the sole to be reduced thus lowering the center of gravity and giving the skater even greater control, stability. The unique heel design adds further stability to the boot. The curve on the heel increases weight distribution, allowing the heel to be in contact with over half the insole giving the skater a sense of oneness with the floor. The heel and the sole are positioned in perfect horizontal alignment so they are fully supported by the flat plate allowing the natural alignment of the metatarsus-phalanx. This allows the plantar-flexor muscles to remain at their optimum length allowing the muscles to react more rapidly ensuring better balance and control. Uses the same lacing system as the high performance models allowing for greater accuracy and feel in lacing. A lace puller will make getting the skates on and off easier for the beginner. Comfort High-tech soles are fully ventilated allowing the foot to cool and helping the lining to dry more quickly so discouraging bacteria, preventing allergies and reducing odor. Because of the thinner sole, EDEA boots have a lower profile. This means we’ve been able to add an extra couple of millimeters of room for the toes for added comfort while retaining a lower profile. The Motivo’s padding includes an extra soft microfiber antibacterial lining with extra padding on both the tongue and cuffs to make the skater feel at home. All EDEA skates are designed around the foot with curves and strength to hold the heel in place, to support the foot and give the best fit and maximum comfort. Easy Care The Motivo is made from the same leather as EDEA’s top of the line boots and offers greater support than the Brio Model. A special water repellent treatment makes EDEA skates easier to maintain. The antibacterial lining  also makes for better hygiene than old fashioned boots. The combination of the new high-tech sole, new planer concept and the specially designed hi-low (double helix) screws allows a new way quicker, less fiddly more accurate way to mount frames. Everything at EDEA is done at their factory in a little village at the foot of the Alps. This means they have full control over control design, quality and production. You buy EDEA boots knowing they’ve been cared for from the drawing board until they are placed in the box to be sent to the shops. Wave Tech Specs Available only in White color. Start a fashion rage with illusion and grace. Pay close attention to the 3D texture and evolved lacing system. This boot is not like any other! The Wave is a ready-to-skate boot designed with adults or the serious beginner in mind. Finally something new that is not only pleasing to the eyes, but also engages your sense of touch. Feel the rise and fall of the waves as your fingers perceive our new professional Technomicro material. We discuss Technomicro as a composite microfiber created from threads that are so thin that each one is less than one thousandth the thickness of the silk. These threads act like natural leather, but with the advantage of being more resistant, plus they are soft to the touch, and offer lightweight properties. Technomicro is not only water resistant, but  is also highly resistant to abrasion and tearing. Do you want the secret to superior control of your skates? It’s all in the lacing! Lace securely at the instep (bottommost two hooks) and softer around the ankle (top two hooks). The hook has been positioned just below the point of flexion and has an inclination of 30° in order to follow that of the foot. In combination, by using four hooks it is now easier and faster to lace and unlace your boots since you are now able to tighten and close in more precisely. Motivo Tech Specs The EDEA Motivo intro competitive loop and large circles figure skate is a high quality way for the for serious beginning roller figure skater that prefers a mid strong construction skate to have the support and control that ALL EDEA Skates offer, but at a very good price point for the beginning intro competitive loop and large circle figure skate. The light mid stiff construction features beautiful leather finish outside and padded microfiber lining.  The EDEA Motivo is made with revolutionary new ultra lightweight materials, which means the Motivo is 25% to 45% lighter than comparable skating boots and is available from Skates U.S. EDEA Skates are beautiful Italian skates, even at this smaller price point. The microfiber lining ventilates the perspiration quickly. The anatomically shaped foam padding and formed fit of the boot is shaped by the thermoformable structure and provides the best in foot contact and control while giving the movement range to allow great learning and performances. Other features are the rounded heel base shape which more evenly distributes the weight and adds torsional stability, the full wrapped padding of the collar of the skate for wonderful comfort, and the shaped padded tongue. The unique EDEA footbed is torsionally rigid but with just a bit of vertical compression, that creates a lower center of gravity in the skate, creating a lower displacement which greatly increases stability and control. For a very detailed technology white paper on the differences between EDEA Skates and traditional leather skates, please take a little time and read Why are EDEA boots so special from the Learning Center. In most cases the break-in period is just a few hours, not days, weeks, or months, but the most important features are how light and comfortable the EDEA Motivo is! EDEA Skates fit a great majority of skaters right out of the box, but some have need of special accommodations to give that perfect fit. All EDEA Skates have a thermoformable structure which allows manipulation of the boot to give the perfect custom fit without the custom price. EDEA Skates use a special memory foam and do not use gel packs or standard foam, then the foot inserted to shape the inside padding of the boot only, this method allows change and movement of the old style padding over time, which is not a good thing. EDEA Skates do use high-tech materials (similar to a carbon fiber or Kevlar) which can be shaped using high power commercial hair dryers and special shoe lasts, in very specific locations or general widening or narrowing of the skating boot. This shaping is actually changing the structural shape of the skate. Once the boot is shaped, it will stay in that shape, until the shaping process is changed again. Skates U.S. provides this very special custom fitting service. EDEA and Skates U.S. strongly recommend the use of Power Wedges to be installed between the curved skating boot and the flat roller frame to keep the foot in its natural and to not deform the boot. A major advantage of the Power Wedge is that it provides very secure contact between the boot and skate frame. This gives more power to each push and stroke, thus the name Power Wedge. It is not necessary to use the power wedges on a roller frame with a sloped front. Variant M Tech Specs The Roll-Line Variant M (metal trucks) is for the beginning competitive skater in their learning stages and provides the same level of articulated performance as all of the upper level Roll-Line frames, but at a very affordable price. The Variant M from Skates U.S. provides great performance due to its innovative design and lightweight structure. The Roll-Line Variant M is forged from a solid bar of aircraft aluminum alloy and CNC machined. The Roll-Line mechanism action adjustment system provides accurate action adjustments using the 04 series, 13mm base King Pins with Adjustment Nuts and Locking Screws. The Variant M features metal trucks with the strongest steel axles available with adjustable Pivot Pins. The design and materials of Roll-Line Skates from Skates U.S., provides athletes the proper support of the skating shoe and give the most sensitive control, the greatest and absolute fastest response available from any skate, providing a sense of great stability and action. Roll-Line natural rubber suspensions provide quick and fluid energy transmission from the foot through the skate to the skating surface. The Roll-Line natural rubber suspensions are available in three hardnesses to provide the perfect skate alignment. The Upper (large) Suspension provides the stability of the edge, while the Lower (small) Suspension creates the deep edges, great turns and spins. The suspensions can be mixed and matched to provide a very custom skate action. Usually the Upper Suspension is harder, because it is carrying the weight of the skater, and provides the edge stability, while the Lower Suspension is one or two levels more flexible, providing great edges and changes. Green = flexible Natural (brown) = medium Yellow = hard The Variant M is provided with the Standard (gray) Toe Stops (metric). Some of the newer versions of the Variant, may have a machined slot in the base of the frame. This is an in-production upgrade that is being phased in, and may not be on all sizes.  The purpose is to reduce weight without reducing strength. Complete EDEA Skate Outfits Skates U.S. is providing the opportunity to have a completed EDEA skate outfit including the top roller skate frames appropriately used at this level.  All of these custom high-level EDEA skate outfits will take about one week, as not all of the roller skate frames are always in stock.  It is highly recommended to use this time make sure that the fit of the EDEA Skate is proper prior to any mounting of the blade or shaping of the boot. When the EDEA skate outfit is paid for, Skates U.S. will ship the EDEA Skates to verify the correct size and then we will cover the cost of the return shipping after trying on the EDEA Skates prior to mounting the roller skate frames and complete the very high level, high performance EDEA skate outfit.  For more details on this service see the Skates U.S. Boot Sizing Policy (which is only valid in the United States). Once the roller skate frames are mounted or the boot is shaped, the skates are no longer considered new and cannot be returned. We highly recommend confirming correct size before ordering the items to be mounted. All international orders are final, once paid for and shipped. Custom Shaping Services Skates U.S. will help with any custom shaping services, as needed. There may be labor charges for the custom shaping services. Some of our dealers are also trained in the shaping process and can do an excellent job locally. Remember with EDEA Skates, the carbon fiber type material is not like leather and will not just change shape on its own. If something pressures, it will always pressure until it is adjusted and then once the skate is adjusted, it will not pressure and will stay that way unless it is changed again.  When we are shaping the skate, we are shaping the shell or structure of the skate.  Once it hardens into the new shape, it will stay that way until changed again. The best way for us to work on the skates, is of course to have the skaters feet to put into the skates and find out where the pressure points are. If that is not possible, please trace the foot on a piece of paper and mail (yes, snail mail) or put good measurements on the drawings in mm or inches.  When a drawing is scanned or faxed, it is scaled and makes a good reference, but is not accurate for measurements.  The second part of this is to take some digital pictures of the feet and email them to orderdesk@skatesus.com.  Pictures will help us to visualize the issues, but the drawings with measurements are essential.
