just a question in the test drive program do they mold the skates for you and if not how would you know what the skate feels like and if they do mold them to your feet what would happen if you didnt buy them?

[willc7786 0]

When I did the test drive they molded mine

[marc_9 0]

as in did i end up keeping them? no. I payed the full price of the skates and then when i returned them I got a full refund

[kovalchuk71 212]

Have they fixed the footbed so people can change holders like a normal skate?

What happened to the shift 2's? Is anybody selling them?

[JR Boucicaut 3795]

Shift2 has been pushed back. From what I heard they tweaked it and dropped weight on it.

Just curious what retailer you did this at...

pure hockey in MA. They'll also ship them to you (at your cost of course) and give you the same deal.

May as well make it a 2007 and show it early. This is getting boring...and quick.

Kor suing K2

Maybe this is why they delayed release of the skates.

K2 is korean? don't they make snowboards?

[JR Boucicaut 3795]

Tony Meibock was at K2 before he was at KOR. He's no longer at KOR though.

K2 is korean? don't they make snowboards?

K2 is an American company based in Vashon, Washington. They make snowboards, skis, skates, and bikes. Their factory for inline skates is in South Korea.

K2 Skates

Is the name KOR derived from the abbreviation for South Korea in international speed skating competition?

[JR Boucicaut 3795]

No.

Kor as in Core, as in composite core.

[jcp2 2]

Thanks for the info. Also, thanks for the help with the other stuff.

[JR Boucicaut 3795]

No problem - let me know how the blades were, although I am pretty sure I know the answer. :P

[Patrick67 1]

JR: how come you stopped selling KOR shift 1's, too much of a hazzle?

Besides that, does the KOR's shape to your arch aswell, so you won't need custom footbeds if you have arch related foot problems?

[JR Boucicaut 3795]

Changed stores. My current store is waiting on Shift2.

[Patrick67 1]

Ah ok, thanks.

How about the arch's?

I know how KORs are a low cut skate. How does it compare to the cut of the vapors? And also for those that have used these skates how is the durabilty on them so far?

The shift one has about one eyelet lower than a vapor.

Didn't he design the skate?!?
