    What I personally wouldn’t do is try to do the math to figure out the break-even. Maybe if money was the #1 reason why I wanted a Sparx, but honestly that was so far down the list of reasons that it was kind of irrelevant. I also feel like my time is worth something, not to mention the time wasted skating on a bad sharpening. The convenience is worth far more than any kind of perceived or real monetary savings, to me at least.

    You sound like a good candidate for one. If you can afford the expense, then do it 🙂

    Yours may not even have it.

    Happy birthday MSH!

    And in many places even if you ask for something different you’re likely just going to get 1/2” anyway.
  6. IPv6Freely
    Yeah 1/2 is definitely the most common.
  7. IPv6Freely
    What does this have to do with the thread you posted in?
  8. IPv6Freely
    Hollow is a preference thing.

    Our league is actually doing something about the lack of parity. Shocking.

    They are really hard to put on. I spot heated the top of mine to open it up, but still use a long shoe horn to slide my feet in. I get some weird looks still when I do it but whatever.

    Keep in mind I’m in goalie skates. My player skates are 5/8.
  12. IPv6Freely
    It was noticeable but in a good way so it wasn't a big deal. If it was a problem I could have just got a 7/16 ring and tried that instead.
  13. IPv6Freely
    I don’t think it has anything to do with the Sparx but I did change from a 1/2 to a 3/8 ring a few months ago.

    Thankfully that disaster is going to be forgotten thanks to the new Ghostbusters movie coming out.

    Huh I’m surprised I never replied in that thread. Basically, the massive step up in comfort from normal skates to Mako was about equally matched by going from Mako to VH. That said if the Mako still existed I’d gladly go that route to save $500.

    I personally just don't care as long as it's comfortable. But I understand those who do.
  17. IPv6Freely
    Oh man that makes me want to go one-piece!

    Completely agree with everything you said. Unlike off the shelf skates where you're pulling hard to try to wrap the facing around your foot, with VH it just wasn't necessary. Just enough to be snug. And I dumped waxed laces almost immediately.
  20. IPv6Freely
    Any pain I had when I got my VH was alleviated by not tying the skate so tight. There's no reason to tie tightly with that kind of foot wrap.
  21. IPv6Freely
    Indeed. I'd much rather have complete consistency.
  22. IPv6Freely
    Huh?
  23. IPv6Freely
    I always compare it to a good pair of hiking boots. A nice even pressure all around your entire foot.
  24. IPv6Freely
    Heh yep. Makes the “really expensive” travel case actually look like not that bad of a price.
  25. IPv6Freely
    I did. I went back to the stock insoles. Like you mentioned, it makes little sense to put in something with an artificial foot shape in a boot that was made for your foot.
