High end roller boot comparison and review Riedell 3200 / 336 / WIFA Champion Light
I can only ever speak from my own experience - it's taken me a long time to feel that I can comment about how these boots perform from break in through to break down - I'm almost 20 years in to my skate journey and still learning. Please remember there is no such thing as a forever boot! However, we will always suggest you buy the best you can afford so your skates last as long as possible. Book your skate consultation with us: https://www.theskatesanctuary.co.uk/skateconsults Previous video comparing the WIFA Champion Light and Riedell 336 is here: https://youtu.be/f5TQJ8uQfP4?si=rL5f5q7anasy5wyE Chapters: 00:00 Intro 00:39 Is it worth spending the money? 01:26 Counters 03:15 Chuffed Pro boot 04:45 Moxi Jack boot 05:30 Leather boots 06:05 Riedell 336 roller boot 07:56 Overbooting! 08:54 WIFA Champion Light 11:32 Riedell 3200 roller boot 14:32 Summary

What happened when I built and tested skate park roller boots (personal journey of a 47yo)
I don't feel confident at the skate park doing tricks of any kind. It's a very specific space to learn in and the challenge for outdoor spaces is finding somewhere quiet, dry and with obstacles the right size! BUT I've decided to build a pair of skate park boots, so I can thoroughly test the products we sell. IF I'm comfortable to use them, surely most people will be!
