Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The boot is great, a little overpriced here on Amazon seeing as most sites also allow for customization of the boot.
Anyway it takes a while to break in and you will need insoles if you wear them a lot(roller derby). The DynaPro plate simply sucks. I have been using it on my 265s for about a year and it is heavy and doesn't loosen well. I have changed bushings and loosened it up to allow more motion in the skate... no luck.
Protip: buy the boot and plates separate and have a local skate shop/rink mount them for you. Reidell has been messing up lately with mounting.

Built with one of the lightest & most durable plates on the market, equipped with slick ABEC-9 bearings inside Radar MoJo wheels, all attached to the smooth 265 boot... just how can something constructed so well be appropriately titled Wicked? The Wicked is the most popular skate in derby today. The classic two stripe design of Riedell's leather 265 boot recalls vintage derby skates while the lightweight extrusion of the PowerDyne DynaPro aluminum plate provides the elite performance demanded by the best derby players. The Wicked also uses 'Turbo' metal-hubbed Radar MoJo wheels that offer outstanding grip and great response in the turns for a skate that is truly wicked on the track. The Wicked from Riedell is a mixture of quality craftsmanship luring the skater who wants to excel above all others. Unfair advantage? Maybe. On the other hand, when was life fair? If you want to out-skate, outplay, & outlast the competition, this is your ticket to a sweeter wicked life. Features: Outsoles: Stitched & Cemented.
