b.mike 0 Report post Posted March 26, 2006 Im looking for new skates next week and Im thinking of purchasing a pair of vapor XIX or XXX. I currently use surpreme 6000s. Im about 5'7 and weight about 132 pounds. I am not a rough skater. So if anyone could give any recommendations that will be great. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShakeAndBake9 0 Report post Posted March 26, 2006 The fit is going to be a little different. But if you are asking between the Vapor XIX or the Vapor XXX that is a big difference. If the cost is fine with you, the XXX is a way better skate. But if you feel like saving a little money, you mention that you don't kill your skates, then the XIX's should be enough for you to get by. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sabre09923 0 Report post Posted March 27, 2006 How many times do you skate a week? I think that really is a deciding factor when you are buying skates.By the way, I have XIX's (I only skate 3 times a week) and I love them. I'm sure whatever you get you will be satisfied, whether it's XIX's or XXX's. Vapor's are great skates. I may be a little biased... Whatever though.

David13 0 Report post Posted March 27, 2006 I am currently using a pair of the xix and as stated below i skate about three times a week and i have no complaints they are great skates and if your looking to spend less money i would deffinately go for them but if money is not really an issue just pick the ones you feel most comfortable in.
