What makes SP-Teri the best fitting boot? Simple: the SP-Teri last designed by Joseph Spiteri in 1963. This last allows the skater’s foot to lay flat in the boot for maximum comfort and control. For control, SP-Teri has always realized that skaters need a boot that fits snugly but not tightly.
Instead of a pointed toe which can cramp the foot, the SP-Teri last is designed with a rounded toe box. It allows the foot to get close to the end of the boots without squeezing the second, third and fourth toes. SP-Teri boot’s heel pitch allows the skater to balance at the center of the blade. For example, a boot with a high heel would shift the skater’s weight to the toe pick and conversely, a low heel throws the weight back to the heel. Center balance on the blade gives the skater ideal body position for shifting weight.
SP-Teri specializes in hand lasting to accurately conform the boot to the skater’s foot along with a patented cut tongue for instep and leg comfort; top grade full-grain cow leather; firm leather counters treated for moisture resistance; leather insoles, midsoles, and outsoles; stylish, low-cut design with narrow heel fit; sueded, side-split leather linings; backstays, inside and out; and steel-ribbed shanks.
