    My foot is usually between a really narrow D width or a C width. Its kinda shaped like the opposite of the V. (Not really but I'm sure you guys get the point) At the moment, I'm wearing a One95 skate in a C width. And they fit bang on, but they are completely torn apart. So I'm on the market for some new skates. As far width goes, do the x60's D width even come close to a C width One95, or is much wider. Because a D width Vapor 40 felt like I was skating in the ocean. As far as the cut of the boot, are they as high cut and forward pitched as the One95's. Or do they feel more like the Vapors 40's in terms of boot cut and the pitch back on the heels.

    Ya, but if he's trying to send them back due to the huge chunk that's been taken out i'd be darned if they sent him another pair of skates. It was caused through normal usage of the skate. Its not like the boot just randomly lost a chunk haha, As for the out sole separation that is definitely an warranty issue but can also be considered under the normal game usage category if you know what i mean, since it was caused by the shot that he ended up taking off the foot.

    Nothing to special over here,

    Removed, swapped, straightened and dyed some holders on my skates.

    Made some road hockey blades out of broken wooden sticks i had laying around the house

    Cleaned out the hosel in a lot of OPS', and also made some tapered blades with the ones that broke in half.

    Removed the adjustment flaps on the NBH 5500 helmet to replace them with screws.

    Removed ear pieces on some of my helmets.

    I use an Itech DX100 visor and found it to look to wide on my face with my 8K helmet, simply took out those plastic pieces that bolt on the side of the helmet and just drilled out a hole on each side and i know this may seem like nothing but you lose 3/16" on each side which made a difference.

    Replaced a few sets of tongues on my skates.

    Curved some blades and also repaired them with some epoxy, glue etc.

    Converted some skates to roller blades, and drilled out some vent holes on the bottom of my skates

    Removed the bicep protectors on the shoulder pads, and the slash guards on my elbow pads

    Made some wooden plugs for my sticks and i also made some that i used to put a broken OPS back together, so id be able to use them for road hockey, lasted a lot longer then most of you would think.

    Sewed 1/4" off the top of my Jock Plus neck guard, it was made for someone who had a 3 foot neck, literally :P

    And i think that's about it for me haha

    I have some ST, SE's, CNT shafts in there. Some TPS R8's, RBK 7k, One90, Z-Bubbles, Synergy's, all of them are broken OPS's i turned into shaft that I use for ball hockey.

    And last but not least, my Vapor XXXX skate creation:

    Abitibi Eskimos Jr.A (NOJHL)

    played against brett perlini?

    Yes i did, terrific hockey player, I think we were the only team he played against that he wasn't able to dangle and do his stuff because of our systems. The only bad thing I have to say, when he skates with the puck, he does so many head fakes and body movements that he looks like a wet spaghetti noodle on skates.

    Vinny plays left, so its the RH that Mission made for him

    I knew Lecavalier was a left hand shot, i just wondered if it was a mirrored version of his pro curve, or if it was a retail made by mission.

    its a retail ccm they did for him

    The blade doesn't look as high as the retail lecavalier? Is it just the angle of the pic?

    Got the last pair of the smaller sizes, there was only two sizes, a custom pair size 12.5 (made for the owner) if i'm not wrong and a pair of 9's. and i bought the last pair of size 9's in the Pro's and the ZG's only had a size 9 left so i bought those too.

    I didn't use the skates yet, i bought them last week, and theres no ice in our town during the summer so i wont be able to comment until i go on the ice. The trouble I'm having is trying to find out what rocker (S,M,L) and hallow i need for them to match my other skates, every site i visit has a different analogy of the t-blades.
