Instant price drop? They are the same price as the regular X-60s. I actually paid $549 for my X60s from my LHS in April.

Easy fix on my skate problem. I had the damn footbeds installed in the wrong feet. Yes, I am an idiot....skates are feeling MUCH better now (obviously). Carry on!

Been having an "issue" with my X-60s. The left skate is fine but the right one seems too narrow for some reason. I've never had an issue wtih Bauer or Nike Bauer Vapors before. I got fit at my LHS and bought em there (as with all my skates). The right skate feels too narrow in the area where the toecap meets the boot. Doesn't bother me at 1st but over 1.5-2 hours on the ice I start to feel it pretty good and I can see on my big toe where its rubbing. Been thinking about taking em to my LHS to see if they can maybe stretch em out or something. Not sure what to do actually...maybe try and have them rebaked? I originally had it done with the Bauer footbeds but I've been using the grey superfeet in them for a bit now.

I had lacebite problems with my XXXs but it went away as soon as I started skating in the X-60s. Tongue feels very stiff on the outside yet padded inside.

Got mine sharpened today by the only guy that touches my skates(for over 15 years). Boyer's Blades in Osseo, MN. Out of the box the left skate had a 9 foot radius and the right blade had a 13 foot radius. WTF??? First thing he asked was who else sharpened them. I said they must have came that way from Bauer and I told my LHS not to sharpen them when I bought em.

Picked up my pair locally today. Have several pairs of Vapor XXXs and thats what I've been skating in up until yesterday actually. Tried the 6.5 and 7D X-60 and the 7D felt best. LHS had em listed for $549 (Dave's Sport Shop in Maple Grove, MN) so I grabbed em. Said they've sold about a dozen pairs already....

Here are pics of the Vapor X-60 goalie gear. I'm sure the skates will use the same colors and logo design... red/white/blue carbon look/black carbon look...
