From what I've gathered, the Vectors have had some durability issues. I've been skating in Tacks all my life, soon to make a switch to a different skate, but IMO the Tacks have always been a great all around hockey skate.

Yeah, i heard of some issue bout the eyelet that wears out fast...some said due to the stiffness of the skate...

Eyelet problems are not widespread. Most top eyelet problems are created by tying the skate too TIGHT during the heat molding process when the material is very soft and pliable. If done correctly the eyelets will hold as designed.

The Vector pros durability is very good compared to many other models. The new Pro tack is an awesome skate.

Tacks are wider than Vectors.

Tacks are wider than Vectors.

more: what fits you better! i think that's the main factor.

There is a couple of reviews here on the Vector Pro's. Don't know if they are the 2005 model, but I don't think that CCM changed anything in the Vector line.

nope ccm kept the vector runing the same, if you want something that fits like vector but abit more durable try on the rbk, thats a very nice skate. im skating in a pair right now and it was a very easy break in

Go with Tacks. Tried and true and they've stood the test of time. No quality or durability issues. ;)
