Just picked up my Easton Mako's today. I have been a strong supporter of MLX and have skated on them the last 2 years. I, like most, have had my fair share of comfort problems with many major brands. MLX was one of the best fitting skates I have used to date. I skated in a 9D in MLX, 10D in Bauer, and 9.5D with the new makos (oddly enough i own a 10D easton RS as well). I highly suggest trying on a few sizes before your purchase. Correct size is key. I personally was very close to a 10D in the mako, but opted for a 9.5. After baking my 9.5 makos did give Alittle and really formed to my foot, very happy I chose the 9.5. Unbelievable how great these skates feel, better than MLX. Now I need to put them to a real test and hit the ice. Good luck boys. Also I don't know if anyone knows the official weight of the makos? Wow. I thought my box only had 1 skate in it when first picking them up. Very light. I'd imagine quite a few grams lighter than my MLX. Hopefully durability and performance backs up the fit, if so, Easton may finally have a winner.
