New Youth boots/skates - pls help!

[1M_E 0]

Hi guys,

I am in desperate need of some skate boot advice for my son. Although he is only 7, he is a good proficient skater and skates up to 10hrs a week. He does inline hockey, inline & quad speed and junior co-ed roller derby. He has small feet and finding good quality or higher-end skates are a real issue especially here in Australia. Currently his hockey skates are a mix of older style Youth12 Easton stealth boots on a junior Hi-lo frame. They are good, but are quite heavy and the boots are starting to lift from the sole. I would love some advice on what high end youth boots/skates are worth getting? Currently I am considering the Reebok 20k pump (y12.5) as they seem good value, but would love some unibody Easton S15’s if they are available in Y12-13. Are the Bauer one90’s a good option? They are more expensive, but he has been saving and can afford $250 boots if they are going to be a lot better. Please keep in mind we have NOTHING in Australia, so there is no way of trying on anything apart from really low end youth Bauers. I have tried all the inline companies but they don't do any quality gear for little feet.

Thanks heaps

Greg
