I'm currently wearing the APX. I've baked the Mako, but I haven't had an opportunity to demo the skates on ice. Here's some observations for you: - I fit a 7.5D in the APX and a 7.5D in the Mako. - The Mako has better heel lock/a narrower heel for me than the APX. - The Mako has a wider toe box and forefoot for me than the APX (had to punch my APX, wouldn't be needed in the Mako). - The Mako has slightly less volume through the forefoot, arch and instep than the APX, but it's REALLY close to the APX. - My APX feel stiffer than the Mako. - The Mako feels slightly shorter cut (maybe closer to a Graf cut) with more range of motion. - The Mako has more aggressive forward pitch/stance than the APX. - The Mako seems to have more build-up in the arch of the skate, compared to the more flat arch area in the APX. - The interior materials of the Mako seems softer and more comfortable, especially in forefoot and toe box than the APX. - Both skates give me a lace bite feeling on on the upper part of my ankle near the upper eyelets. I've remedied this completely in my APX by doing outside-in lacing, but didn't try this on the Mako. - The Mako wraps a LOT over the top of my foot and has a fairly close lacing pattern. My lacing pattern in the APX is normal. Hopefully that helps a bit.

My catalogue review wasn't enough? It's not like there's any hidden details. APX is a Vapor, NXG a Supreme. The differences between the two boots have been documented for years.

Hit the eBay jackpot and found two brand new pairs of SE16's in my size (8W) to replace my old ones. Couldn't beat the price and they fit me better than any other skates I've tried - and I've tried alot of different skates...

its old, but it starts everyday.
