Overview
Antik Spyder Skates are built using Antik's proprietary high-top design using stiffened full grain leather. The fit and feel will be very similar to their flagship AR-1 model, though break-in should take a little longer. A natural heel wedge is integrated into the rubber outsole and the toe box features a scuff-resistant leather toe cap. Triton Plates are a heavier cast aluminum but offer wider baseplates that improve stability and power transfer as well as offset toe stops for a more natural feel.
*Does not include wheels, bearings, or axle nuts.

Comments: I purchased these this fall and am grateful I was lucky enough to get them on sale! They are sturdy, and comfortable. I feel that the wheels, toe stop and ankle support have helped me improve my derby skills quicker because I really trust this skate. I have purchased all of my derby gear off of this site because of their fast shipping, sales, great products and am happy to be able to return something if it doesn't work out. Thanks Derby Warehouse

Comments: The Antik Spyder skates are really great, especially considering their low price! Although the plates add a little weight to these boots, it's not too bad and you get used to it. The boot itself provides A LOT of ankle support - so, if you're not used to ankle support/don't need it, you may just find the boot too stiff. Because I have some ankle issues, I find these boots amazing! Overall, these skates are amazing, and I highly recommend it to anyone, especially if you're just getting into roller derby and don't want the cheapest (nor most expensive) skates around.
