One of the nicest looking skates on the market

Since the first go round with Pumps in Tacks skates back in the late 80's-90's I've hated how gimmicky the feature was. I hated it the first go round because the bladders were rupturing with regularity. I think a skate either fits you or it doesn't. If you are relying on a bladder of air and a small pump (that could possibly fail at some point) to achieve a usable fit, it's probably not the best fitting skate for you. The 50K was probably near ideal in terms of volume for my foot shape, but passed because of the pump. I believe the pump free 70K will attract more potential users than it will lose by deleting this feature.

FWIW the guy from HockeyTutorial says that he likes the 70K more than he likes his VH skates (in a recent video where he is unboxing stuff at his HQ). I have never heard him get so excited over a retail skate (previous retail that he seemed to like best was Mako). So, I would not be surprised if thee significant type changes that you reference, were made (but the guy doing the promo video may not have wanted to talk over the "average consumer's" head, and thus he may have failed to mention these nuances that only we would appreciate).

LA Kings sale tomorrow LA Kings Pro-Stock Equipment Sale

Rbz on an aluminum hi-lo from RX: 25. Decided to use all copper because the outsole is very thin, and I'm a fatty.
