They have arrived! Photos and a little video to follow.

Now you tell me! They seemed to have no problem with them!

Just so you can see in advance how much of a nightmare my feet are!

I'll let you guys know when I get mine! Desperate for em to turn up so I can wear skates that DON'T ruin my feet!

I left it at their discretion, but said I'm used to 306. That's what I had on my grafs which okay...ish length wise.

Just placed the order and paid for mine. I've struggled with skates that fit right for years due to my huge feet. In trainers I'm a US 15 or 14 BUT a D width. I've been in Vapor X90's 12D for the last couple of years, but these have caused both my feet to develop bunions, The Graf 705 size 13 I had before that gave me crippling lace bite. After all the good stuff I've read on here, it seemed like a pair which were actually made to my feet was a no brainer. I went for.... Clarino Liner Enhanced Metatarsal Guard on Thick felt tongue with number stitching One piece Flexible tendon guard Number on Heel Coated toe cap Requested reinforcement around toebox Comfort Edge Built in shot blockers Ls Edge & Ls 3 steel Colour wise I must admit, I was a bit boring and just requested Black; never want to give yourself anything that makes you stand out (white gloves or skated for example)! Plus I just LOVE the classy old-schoolness of an all black skate; My first decent skates were a pair of these... (Well the 4000, but close enough!) Anyway. Pics to follow. CAN'T WAIT - Although I;m gonna get stung on import tax and duty here in the UK

I THOUGHT that's where you meant!

Where is this so I can avoid it? ;)

You guy's should try skating in Basingstoke... Jesus.... At the moment you'll need your costume and arm bands.

Skates - Graf 705's as these are oversized they have a shockingly bad cobra 1000 holder, that need to be swapped with an ls2! Also the tounge on mine SUCK, no support at all. Definitly not the thick white felt everyone loves. Sticks - Easton Synergy 350 + Stealth S5 Gloves - Old easton Airs from 2002 or so... Really nice and old Bauer Supreme 4 roll style gloves Helmet - NBH 3500 with Tron s20 visor Pants - Ancient Tackla pro 4500 (from 1997) Shoulders - Bauer vapor 4 which are held together with bits of t shirt sewed on: Lightest and most comfy shoulders I've ever worn. Elbows - RBK 11k - These are epic Shins - Bauer supremes from forever ago. Absolute tanks with cool max lining (that'll age em!) Weigh a Ton though, so got some 11k's on the way.
