Vintage Riedell 216 Black Leather Roller Skates Size 10 MEN'S Unique Blue Plates

I'm not sure of an exact date, but they appear to be anywhere from the 50s to 70s. They are marked a 10, and they're obviously a Men's 10. They do appear to be a bit on the narrow side - my feet are too big to try them on.

They aren't stamped anywhere that I can see. All of the bearings are in good shape and the wheels currently installed are 60 mm Bones by Powell. The wheels do NOT have any uneven wear. There are several horizontal cracks forming on the heels, but they do not appear to be structural and they're purely cosmetic!! The toe stops show wear.

The actual boot toe caps show usual scuffs and wear as well, but no considerable issues. The undersides of the tongues have a rubbery coating that has held up relatively well over the years, but it is starting to flake just a little bit.

With a proper polish, these skates really would clean up and look fantastic!
