Foot Shape: Wide forefoot, high arch, wide heel Coming from: Vapor XX's Usage at time of review: 6 months FitBest fitting boot I've ever put on. I work at a hockey shop and I get to try on every single skate on the market and this is hands down the best fitting skate I've put on. It is quite nice being able to put a skate from out of the box on and not have much tweaking to do. I love the zero negative space.6/10 Blade/Holder I kept the LS2 Power on and got them profiled before even skating on them. I like the 1/2"(standard) hollow on these skates. I find the blades hold the sharpening's quite well. They have yet to come loose which is a big thing for me because it seems every other pair of skates I've had, I twist the blades because they come loose. 9/10 Weight Coming from a Vapor XX, which is a somewhat light skate I figured I wouldn't really notice the difference, but boy was I wrong! Weighing 750 grams, you don't feel the skate on your foot. It's nice being able to go on the ice for several hours and not feel the weight on your feet. Very light and responsive! 10/10 Durability I only ref hockey now, so my skates don't get abused as much as a players skate would. I can't really give a review on them from a players perspective. I'm on the ice 4-6 times a week for a few hours at a time and they've held up wonderfully. I've got a few nicks, but no separation of material issues as of yet.4/10 Conclusion If you feel like buying the Cadillac of skates, then this is the skate for you, providing you've got the foot for it! These skates are very expensive, but they are well worth it. I found the break in period to be quite long compared to other skates, but it's well worth the wait. 7/10
