SSM skates
SSM skates are designed with an open front, where excess material is removed from the front area of the boot.
SSM was created by Brian Shima, who had skated all his life, and therefore had a lot of experience in blading. Brian would make a skate that he wanted to stand on, and that would be the best on the market. This he did by creating SSM skates.
SSM skates are now very popular.
