The entire reason I got the Mako's was because I was in MLX to begin with. You also now have the VH skate developed by Scott. They overdid the orange, but I don't mind it. Gives it a certain pop.
-
It's because people don't want to change from what they know and I understand that. That's usually the one factor that keeps new products from catching on. That, and Easton doesn't exactly has a great reputation for skates.
-
I tried it once, threw on my old S15's for a stick n puck. My feet felt like they were swimming in the boot.
-
Nice blades Cavs. I bet they'd go well with the two shafts I just picked up.
-
Two black V9E pro stocks, V9E retail, V9E painted as a V9 pro stock. Great sticks. The white V9E has a nice P10 curve on it, and no stupid E logo at the front of the blade.
-
Yeah, the aesthetics are my only real complaint. I'm still waiting for the V9E with white graphics I bought to show up. Excited for that one.

Easton V9E

I've never had that issue. I'd roll out the top of the skate with a heatgun, that seems to solve the problem for most people. This question also could've been put in here, I don't think it needs its own thread. http://www.modsquadhockey.com/forums/index.php/topic/61887-easton-mako-skates/page-47

Jesus. Who were you playing against? Zdeno Chara?
-
Got these in the mail today.
-
Based on that, I'd try a 10.5 and an 11.
-
Most likely random. If you're not baking the skates, you're losing out on the entire point of the skates.
-
Oversized tower? Looks a little not flush with the front.
-
You won't know the fit of the Mako's until you bake them. A minor 3 minute bake isn't going to hurt anything or anyone.
-
Bake them and find out. Hopefully you'll be surprised.
-
I wouldn't release a Mako skate line. I do not see a reasonable way to lower the tech quality without losing the benefits of what makes the Mako skate what it is.
-
So a bunch of people have been asking to see the stick collection, and I finally got around to taking a picture of it. Left to right: V9E, RS2 (SE16's) x2, '05 Stealth x3, T-Flex x5, SiCore Grip, Synergy Gold x2, SiCore x3, Dolomite x4, Dolomite Spyne. A bunch of prostocks thrown in there. Pretty decent, if I do say so myself.
-
All black. Looks soooo much better than the retail. I got lucky that the EQM for the Tips had extras.
-
Got me a V9E.
-
Ditto. Roughly 5 times a week between reffing and playing.
-
I wouldn't worry about it much. Worst case is you slip the extra footbed in during your skate and then rebake later.
-
Fit is different, the Mako has a different concept of fit. Zero negative space, your entire foot is wrapped in the boot. Best way to describe it is like wearing a snug running shoe.
-
Everyone's different. Like Ininew, I'm a straight 8 across my recent Easton skates. S15, S17, Mako. Gotta try them on to know for sure.
-
I'd say length wise theyre similar but don't expect them to be similar in any way beyond that.
-
SE16's painted as RS2's. Got a nice curve on it. Square blade, somewhat closed heel. Pretty close to a retail Heatley. Taller blade than I'd like, but beggars can't be choosers.
