The Romero Troubadour by Emerica is designed by Leo Romero. The Mid-Top design grips feet and protects ankles for more stable skating. Thin padded tongue and thick padded collar provide maximumfort for a full day of skating. Double-Stitched narrow Wrap-Around panel crosses over Triple-Stitched Ollie area to help prevent blow-outs and make shoes last longer. DTTF (Dropped To The Floor) footbed lowers the center of gravity for improved skating performance.
