Leading ice skate designer and manufacturer Riedell Skates recently redesigned its product line-up with eleven new figure skate boot and boot feature designs, along with several restyled favorites. Featured in the company’s 2009 catalog, Riedell’s five new lines include Competitive, Custom, Instructional, Beginner/Recreational and Soft Series.

“Our new line-up offers skaters of every level many updated features to enhance skating experience and performance,” explains Dan Riegelman, Vice President of Riedell Skates. “Across our five lines, skaters can choose from our wildly popular LS Light Series or our re-energized TS Traditional Series with timeless styling.” All Riedell boots offer ultra-sensitive heat activated reinforcement for customized fit, comfort and support. The new models will be available April 1 and can be viewed in the company’s eCatalog at riedellskates.com.

To offer an in depth look at their products and skating stars, Riedell has launched a Facebook Fan Page with detailed skate and accessory information. Fans of the page have access to videos, photos, discussion boards and a schedule of skating-related events. “Our new Facebook presence allows us to create an online community with our loyal skaters,” explains Riegelman. “We look forward to talking with our Riedell fans.”
