I am seeing Mako II and M8's on sale and am about ready to turn in my EQ50s, which I found to be the best skate I ever wore surprisingly. I have to take a risk and just order them online since no store in NYC has these in stock at this stage for me to try on. From the collective wisdom, is the transition to the EQ50 into the Mako II or M8 a natural one, or should I expect a heavy change in the boot? Overall I never fit into Bauers well, they hurt my feet, Grafs I did could not find a match and the Easton EQ50 was the perfect fit so I am partial to going with an Easton again. If it does not work I can return them but my options are spend $500+ in-store on a Bauer/CCM/Graf which I don't typically fit well into or buy one of these Eastons at $300 - $400 where I have positive history. Any intel/advice would be appreciated!
