Inline boots need to have a more aggressive pitch, since there is no rocker like a ice blade. The forward lean of the skate puts you in a more natural skating position, which makes the player feel more balanced. We design our skates specially for roller hockey, and that is why we have that angle.
-
The Max's will fit similar to the Team. There will be a slight difference based not stiffness, but overall the patterns are the same. If you liked the fit of the Team skates, you will like the fit of the Max skates. Our skates fit 1.5 to 1 size down from your shoe. When I skated old Mission (pre Bauer buying Mission) I was a size 8.5. I am currently a 8.5 in Alkali, and have a size 10 shoe.

Kiwi, Great to hear you picked up a pair of Crew skates. For the heat fit, you need to have a convection style oven and set the temp around 180 F for 9minutes. Since you are not using a traditional skate oven, keep an eye on the skates and make sure they don't get to soft or hot. You can check out Alkali Hockey on Youtube and you can see how we heat fit skates.

We made a change to the smaller wheel verse the CA9s
-
It is all about wheel base and turning. We believe we have chose the best Wheel combination for each size, and 76 on the 5-6.5.

I was not talking about Sprung at all. I just believe you should support the brands that support players, tournaments, and are doing things to keep this sport going. I never talked bad about Sprung, and just gave my personal feedback on if they worked for me.
-
Ok, I will state my personal, non-Alkali opinions of these. This entire post is my own personal opinion: Does Sprung work - For some people. I personally do not like them at all. I do not like how the front wheel compresses, and feel much slower in them, have a loss in balance, and overall I am not comfortable in them. Do they turn better -Maybe. Personally I like how the back wheel compresses (this is funny, since I love how the old Vibe 2 chassis compressed in the back). Is there a place for them: Sure, some ice guys would like them, but I feel they are more of an off ice training tool. My opinion is you should support brands that support inline/roller hockey: Alkali, Bauer/Mission, Tour, Labeda, Rink Rat, and Revision.

We do not have test samples, just samples to show the full line.

You don't need to worry about the graphics. The graphics are sublimated and will never fall off. We sublimate our pants for that reason alone. We don't you to ever worry about the pant not looking good. Finally, a gentle wash cycle is perfectly ok for the pants.
-
We prefer that you hand wash them, so that they last longer. However, you can wash them in the machine, but really recommend hang drying.
-
A 10.5 shoe should be a size 9 skate. However, it is all about preference. Some people would go with a 9.5, if they do not like their toe touching the toe box.
-
Tyler, You will notice a big difference with the new chassis. The balance/stability is night and day different verse our old chassis. I really think you will enjoy the boot feeling and chassis improvement.
-
Shifts over the RPD for the fit and chassis improvements. That would be my choice.
-
Let me know if you have any particular questions regarding our skates. Obviously being a fairly new brand, there is limited players in our skates, but I believe you will see more and more players making the switch. If you see any people wearing Mission Skates from the pre bauer days, they were designed by me. So we are a new brand, but have been making skates for over 20 years.
-
Mik3, I think you would be very happy with the fit of our skates. The mold-ability of our skates allow them fit a wide variety of feet shapes. I appreciate you taking at look at us and supporting the brand. Thanks and Happy Holidays! Justin

Here is a video we did to show you how to heat fit our skates:
-
Brentdz, sorry they don't fit and you'll need a larger size. As a FYI, Mission skates never ran shoe size. Pre Bauer, Mission skates ran 1 to 1.5 below your shoe size. Our current skates fit similar to this in terms of sizing. SJS - We are not selling the Movement Chassis individually.
-
The Major differences between the two skates is exactly what you mentioned. The Chassis (mag vs extruded), wheels, internal liner, and bearings. The internals are very similar, so if you don't need the upgrades, you can't go wrong with the Shift. The liner difference is not AEPE (which is not used on the Shift, that is a typo/mistake). The liner used on the Max is a anti-microbial, moisture wicking microfiber liner. This liner is our top of the line liner. The liner of the Shift is a hydrophobic anti-slip liner that works extremely well and very comfortable. Hope this information helps. Justin

I have always used out stock footbeds, but if you plan on using something different I would put those in during the heat fit.
-
That will go away with a heat fit. That is the wider forefoot in our new boots, and will wrap more with the heating. I personally have a narrow foot, and a heat fit allows the boot to wrap around my narrow foot.
-
I am not as familiar with Reebok, so I will let the guys on here comment on size compared to Reebok, Souldriver, I designed the 10000 pants you have. That was in the middle of my time there.
-
Our pants run similar in sizing to the old Mission pants, so you should be fine in a size medium. The main difference between the Max and the Team is the material. The material on the Max has more stretch, a softer touch, and it a bit more abrasion resistance. Both are great options and you can't go wrong with either. Finally, both pants have dual layer knees. The Max do not come in size 5.5. They definitely will hold up for Ice. I am skating them on Ice and know a few others that are skating them on Ice as well.

The orders have shipped to the UK, so the new skates should be in the stores before Christmas.
-
The whole line. Team and Comp skates will ship out Monday.
