What are people using as scuff guards on their conversions? My one.9s already are scuffed on the clear coat near the ankle and outside ball. I want to cover it before it eats into the upper

Finished these today. I really need some green indoor wheels for the effect

I actually ran into that issue today. Ordered all 1/2 and 3/8 only to find out the One.9 Heel requires that extra 1/4 to an 1/8 depending on the side. I learned a lot on this skate, and the White K skate I am just starting. Most importantly I learned that full composite outsoles are really hard to remove rivets from, while reebok outsoles let them come out like butter.

I am frustrated at hockey giant. I purchased a pair of One.9 and Reebok White K skates for inline conversions yesterday but on the way to the checkout some other kid came in and purchased the last medium frame(and was promised installation by the NEXT day after I heard 3 days seconds earlier) that they had set aside for us as our $1000 in skates were baking. The manager rung him up and only realized that he screwed up and sold my frame when I finally finished cooking the skates. Well he promised he would take a trip the the warehouse to get me a frame so I could be skating this week. Unfortunately I went back today to pick them up only to find out the manager lied and it would be days before the frame even arrived to be installed and even then they couldn't give me a reasonable date for the install. As I was leaving the kid who took the last frame showed up and picked up his One.4 conversions. I was livid. I walked out with a magnesium frame out of my pocket and with the intent to install them myself, but I've hit a snag. First finding the hardware is a bitch and expensive if I approach it quickly and spend $2 per tnut at the hardware store instead of waiting for mcmaster-carr. Second I can't for the life of me remove the rivets without feeling like I will end up destroying the boots. Who else can I pay to have hilo frames installed around South Jersey? I just want to play this weekend and I've lost too much time to a bad manager at Hockey Giant. Fortunately the kids there the next day who delivered the bad news are nice guys so I just couldn't act as mad as I felt. This guy lost a customer who had purchased $2500 in equipment in a month over a one time visitor who did not even get his skates there. Not the best way to operate.

I am at a loss when it comes to selecting a boot for a sprung conversion with a similar fit to my 8D AC3 skates that I very much like. I just can't see these missions staying stiff with the hours I put on skates. I skate 5 days a week(rec skating ref, and league play) so ice boot durability is a very attractive. My primary concern is with depth. The high end AC line seem to have lots of volume and I am not sure what ice boots will give a similar fit. Which $200-450 skate would make the best platform and provide similar fit? So tempted by the 14ks, supremes, or some Grafs.
