LOL I'll never forget my first trip to Baltimore. Walked around the Inner Harbor to get dinner, then when done I didn't go down to the water (walked along the street.) Got back to the hotel and put on the news and if I would've walked along the water on my way back I would've been on there, because a dead body had just washed ashore. That all said, one of my favorite cities!

Because they made you experience Baltimore or because they are selling direct?

Cool - Might give that a shot. I think I will lean towards the smaller fixes. I just bought a new set of golf clubs so if I hadn't purchased those it would be skates for sure! I will keep this posted updated on what transpires. Seems like a common issue that arises.

They flew us out to Baltimore to shoot insight videos, we shot on-ice reviews and even RX2 vs. RX3 comparison videos but its safe to say we won't be releasing them.

If it's not going to put you out too much, I'd seriously consider the new skates. I mean 10 years is a pretty darn good run. With my last pair of skates, the first signs of them going were the little things, rivets and eyelets popping, and stuff started rubbing as the liner and tongue wore away, etc. I nursed the skates along for a year or so until a broken holder forced my hand. Honestly, I probably should have gotten new skates earlier, because over time, I'd dropped over $100 on rivets and stuff just nursing them along. I could have put that money towards the new skates. As for it being worth it, well, that's a question only you can answer. But you're only 45. I'm the same vintage as you and play against guys who are in their late 50's who can still skate circles around people 30 years their junior. So, you probably have at least 10 good years in you of playing. Take a look at your skates now. Really look at them, every seam, every stitch, etc. How much life do you think they still have? And how much do you think you'll have to invest to keep them going vs just getting new skates?

I was having a similar issue with the ball of my foot. Turned out my sesamoid was irritated by the rivet. Changed it to copper which is flatter and added a bit of thickness to my footbed and the issue was solved.
