Anyone have these, reccomendations good or bad?

The cheapest I've found them for at an LHS is 254...deal or no deal?

I love mine, very comfortable. They fit my foot well, they are wide and deep and have alot of room in the toebox. If they're a good fit for your shape foot then I would recommend them. I've had no durability issues with them. They are a very light skate as well. That sounds like a good price.

AWESOME skate if you have the foot for it. You dont want a lot of looseness in your skate and the toe box in these are huge so make sure they fit. 250 is really cheap, especially because NBH is not discontinuing them for 06. I have them and they are one of the few skates that do not hurt my feet.

The best skates ive ever owned PERIOD. They are like slippers and are incredibly light..If they fit you, go for em!

remember one thing: They are pretty HIGH-CUT boot, you can't feel it when you try them in store but once you hit the ice, you will feel the difference!!

are they lighter than the 8090's?

They are slightly lighter than the 8090's.

They're great skates. Lots of room, very comfy and very light. If they fit you, go for'em. They offer very good protection. I'm a d'man, and i've blocked a lot of shots and none ever really hurt me.

If you find the boot cut to high, don,t tie up the last eyelet.

very comfortable skate...lots of protection.. and a high cut boot. They are built strong. A defenceman on my team last year had them and he took about 6 shots to the foot last year and said that those skates were the best protection he had.

Thanks for the input, fellas. I will definitely buy them now!

how do they compare to the 8090?

That is a great deal. Just be careful because these skates were a lot wider and deeper than I had origionally thought. When I tried them on, in the D with I was shocked.

Just recently heat-molded my Flexlite 10s. Before, I didn't think they could get more comfortable but DAMN! This skate feels more comfortable than ever!!

[Trippingblue 1]

I bought them the other day, and had them molded...but damn they fit big. I don't know if I've ever skated in something so wide I couldn't really tell if it was too small! The skates definitely are comfortable without molding but heat em up and they just wrap...I think I need a deeper hollow, 7/16 is doing basically nothing for me since I'm 125... I was going to wait to buy them since someone at my LHS mistakenly told me that the Flexlites were going to be discontinued, but apparently that's not the case. Highly reccommended.

I just got a pair.only been on them once..went from a 10.5EE well fitting 7000 to a 10D in the 12 ..

yes its high cut in the front, I'll probably leave one eyelet unlaced...but also like how it makes me bend at the knees..

they showed up yesterday..wore them at the office for a bit..got them sharpened and skated..god bless game ready fit..I may bake them 90sec-2min in a preheated oven to dial it in..

just a bit freaky that they smell like a new Nike running shoe out of the box
