What kind of warranty are you offering on these? I have had a hard time finding skates that last recently. Smoked 2 pairs of rx25s, Rx 60s, and one90 conversions that are starting to pull away on the heel. Don't know if it's just Bauers because I had a pair of ccms v10 that were are ok but I hate the tri di and I can't get a good heel lock with reeboks. Sounds like your skates might be what I am looking for. Remind me of my wicked 5s which were work horses for me until all the eyelets starting rusting out.
