Fit=8090, a bit on the heavier side.

Not a bad skate at all, do fit similar to 8090, i bought the 8090 because they were lighter and to me felt stiffer.

they look like moon boots ;)

Similar to the early 90s Bauer Supreme skates - same fit as well. Heavier than most skates on the market - geared towards the older crowd. Very good boot. Didn't sell all that great as people wanted lighter skates.

Thanks JR. I asked because they look like they had some nice high end features but they're cheap as crap ($130 at Cyclone Taylor). If I could find my size I might give 'em a try. BTW, what are you skating in now?

[JR Boucicaut 3804]

S500. I ordered some custom ones but havne't gotten them yet. No rush - it isn't like I'm skating anyway...now that I won't be working for a month maybe I'll squeeze in some ice time between packing.

For $130 you can't be wrong if you are a fan of older Bauer skates.

Did you get that gig in Baltimore?

Nope....Hes in MI

Passed on the MD job as there were too many red flags. The guy was nice but he wanted to operate on a shoestring budget and I wanted no part of that.

What mods are they doing to your S500's?

I took a ride down to The Hockey Stop Sunday to try on some 8090's. Glad I did that before ordering online. I figured I'd be a 9D (10.5 shoe) but I tried on a pair of 9.5D and they were too short and too narrow.

I'm going to try some lace bite inserts and give the S400's another try. I really like the fit and performance.

Sizing. Quarter size on one foot, E width.

Gotta take care of his boy(MSH) right? :P

That's why he is always there.

Exactly. SOmeone has to do the dirty work. And as I am unemployed right now, I have nothing but time.
