So there I was, feet airborne, anticipating impact and thinking “I should have ordered a new pair of locals weeks ago!” As any loyal local wearer knows the end of the life cycle for your slippa is rather tenuous when it comes to rain covered surfaces and I had clearly waited too long to replace mine. Thankfully my new pair arrived so quickly I could show them the bruises they too could one day offer me when their dutiful services came near their end. All joking aside love the product and service but make sure you replace them when you start ice skating on solid surfaces.
