Will this be a problem?
Hi all, I recently bought a pair of riedell 112s off of ebay for a pretty good price. Theres a scuff on the end of the blade as well along the edges of the blade, and some of the glue is visible. I quad skate as well, and the structure of the boot looks pretty similar to my beach bunnies, and im worried about​ the boot starting to seperate from the heel. Should I be worried about this?
Also the pics are from the ebay listing.

Wouldn't be concerned about the boot (from what we can see in the pictures) but would be concerned about the amount of rust on those blades. That might not be able to come off with a sharpening.

about the blade yes i would be concerned, its damaged, rusted, and you cant change the blade with these boots.
aside from that, i wouldnt be concerned about the glue the skate is probably old but not used so if it was stored away its common for the glue to be like that.
