I broke my foot about a year ago and couldn't find any skates that fit very well. I was in Toronto tis past weekend and took a shot at the team store in the ACC. I ended up getting a pair of Phaneuf CCM Tacks with Tuuk Lightspeed holders/step steel runners that are barely broken in for $282.50 canadian out the door. The guy I dealt with there said that he would wear a pair of skates for 13-15 games before changing them out.
