straps for inline skates

Question
I just purchase a pair of Mystic youth size 10-13 inline skates for my daughter from a consignment shop, and noticed when we got home that the straps are missing. Do you know where I might be able to find such a thing?

Answer
Angela,
THIS IS A DIFFICLT PROBLEM TO SOLVE. IT SEEMS THAT MOST SHOPS DO NOT DO THIS KIND OF WORK NOR DO THEY CARRY REPLACEMENT PARTS LIKE STRAPS OR BUCKLES. I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO HAVE BUCKLES REPLACED AT PARAGON SPORTS IN NYC IF YOU ARE IN THE VICINITY.
YOU CAN PURCHASE A STRAP PUT OUT BY ROLLERBLADE - IT IS NOT SOMETHING THAT CONNECTS TO THE SKATE BUT A VELCRO STRAP THAT WRAPS AROUND THE ANKLE TO MAKE THE BOOT MORE SECURE. YOU CAN ALSO TRY GOOGLING THE COMPANY THAT PRODUCES THE MYSTIC & TRY TO CONTACT THEM.
YOU MIGHT ALSO TRY BRINGING THEM BACK TO THE CONSIGNMENT SHOP & RETURN THEM AS DEFECTIVE & BUY A SKATE FROM A RESPONSIBLE DEALER.
FRANKLY THIS IS ONE OF THE REASONS I PREFER QUAD SKATES TO INLINES - VERY LITTLE GOES WRONG WITH THEM & IF IT DOES THERE IS ALWAYS A SOLUTION!!!
SORRY I CAN'T BE OF MORE HELP. GOOD LUCK IN YOUR QUEST.
