New skate reccos to replace Nike Flexlite 10

[younggeezie 0]

Hi All,

Can anyone out there recommend a 2014 skate replacement that have a similar feel to the long discontinued Nike Flexlite 10?

I upgraded to the Bauer X60, and now am using Graf 709, and am still in search of something that felt great 10+ years ago.

X60 gave me the weight savings and stiffness I was looking for, but too high arch.
709 wider and flatter, but boot was too roomy and overall heavier.

Pre-requisites:

I have very wide and flat feet

Removable footbed (I wear custom skate orthotics)

Please help!!

Thanks in advance.

Look into the Bauer Nexus line. Its the replacement of the Flexlite line.

Try the Bauer Nexus line, but the 2014 lineup if you want a stiffer boot. (curv composite boots)

The nexus 6000 should be a very similar fit and feel to the flexlite. The 7000 and 8000 feel very different.

I have a pair of Nexus 1000 that feel very different from my Flexlite 4.0 pros.

If you're price conscious, check out the Nexus 800 on closeout.

Thanks for the input guys.
Will have to try some some of them during the week.

Today I went to my local store and they fitted me in a Bauer Supreme MX3, but had to order in a EE width for me to try.
Seems like it could work for me when I get the right width.

I tried the Nexus 800, however it felt big across the top of my foot and kinda loose - similar to my Graf 709's, but much better stiffness and weight.
Still would like to try the Nexus 6000's, after reading what you guys are suggesting.

Will keep you guys posted!
