Why, My Pretty, Why?

I'm looking for a pair of skates to buy so I stop spending money on rentals when I take my nephews skating, and I'll probably go with a cheap Chicago pair that are commonly found at various stores right now. But what I REALLY want are these. Yes, I would pay $250 for THAT pair of skates.



These Blondie skates are adorable, but not really me.

For my quick reference:
black suede - Riedell
black suede - Sure-Grip
cheap black leather (the ones I'll probably end up getting for now)
another cheap option
slightly better cheap option
2nd better cheap option
expensive black leather (upgraded version with better plates)

Someone got bored one day and created optional packages:
Adonis (white on white)
Chronos (black on white)
Erebus (black on black)
Zephyrus (white on black)
(but they weren't so bored at to changed the description fields for each link)
And then they just went all out: NTS Custom

I really prefer this boot, but not the wheels or stop: Sure-Grip 93 boot
This one says 93 boot, but it doesn't have the ankle "flex notch" that I think I would like, but it is cheaper.

Reidell Legacy - I really like these, just not the price.

It's probably the lighting, but these look hunter green, and that's something I could consider going for, but they're also out of stock. I also like the simplicity of the look of these.

Then, there was patent leather, and then there was .... um ....


I really prefer the taller boot.
Yes, I'm a girl, and yes I want black.

I'll also go for blue suede (like above) or even purple suede, but NOT white.
