About MeGrey leather roller boots with plastic and steel wheels.Roller skates or boots are by no means a 20th century invention, however they rocketed to success during the 1970s when roller discos became all the rage. These boots were used at Roller Land on Holburn Street, Aberdeen around 1990. Skating still remains a very popular pastime with teenagers today, although roller boots have been replaced with rollerblades also known as inline skates.
