S500's or L7's?

[IGO2XS 0]

Im looking at these 2 skates. I have heard the s500's are great skates but does anyone know about the L7's? More comfortable? Different fit? Thanks

I liked the s500s alot better. I didn't like the super stiff tongue on the L7s. The s500s just fit my foot a whole lot better.

two completely different fits:

S500 - Supple Fit - similar to Graf

L7 - Stiff Traditional - Similar to Vapor/Vector

Is the width really narrow on the S500's? Im looking for some 8.5ee's but all I can find is 8.5 D. Anyone know of any good deals on some EE's? Thanks

From what I understand, it's more the toe box that you have to worry about. I have heard the the mission toe boxes are short and narrow.

Regardless, I don't know which is their "top" for sure, but believe that the S500 is supposed to be their top of the line. BUT, as Justin pointed out, the L7 is a different model and you should go with what fits the best and which one delivers the best results for your skating style. I think the L7 may be lighter (if you put big stock into such matters).

Read up on both at www.missionhockey.com

actually those are the ones I was looking at on ebay but I think I am going to go with the S500's if I can find some in EE. Thanks for your help though guys.

I'm pretty sure both are top, just different models. Kinda like how Bauer has the Vapor XXX and One90 (8090 previously). They're both top, but for different types.
