The one that fit you the best...and it's a plus if you like the look.

anything vapor i like for some reason and you get good value for them

Try and find some closeout models, if you can find ur size, and get a skate a couple years old, it will probaly be a better value.

People here tend to go for the lower to mid end Vapor skates over anything else in the price range although that has a lot to do with SMU products. Just go with what fits your foot best and isn't way below what you could be getting in terms of performance.

The XI is the best value of those skates you mentioned. Retailed for $199 when new.

Cyclone taylor has the following for 119.99 or lower

Bauer 4000

Easton Air

CCM Vector 4.0

CCM Custom Tack

CCM 652, 552, 252

On those, my picks would be #1 Bauer 4000, #2 CCM Custom Tack, #3 Easton Air, but those are all high quality skates that are available for a fraction of what they originally cost.

when they say custom tack it means they're heat moldable right?

[chilaxin12 2]

Duder84, yea the Custom Tack is heat moldable
