My new Daoust 301s :)

[epstud74 24]

I finally found a pair that fit me! Fairly brand new skates. Hardly been worn. I had a pair of these back in junior high and I loved em.

[epstud74 24]

I believe they fit a little wider than my old Grafs. I also have a pair of Graf 301 in a wide size coming my way as well. I tried them on and they were a perfect fit as well, but for $70 why not get a pair of nifty Daoust 301s too?? I just remember Daoust being a tad bit wider than my old Bauer 100s

why do daoust and older grafs look so similar?

[epstud74 24]

They do look similar. Same last style and traditional look, but excellent craftsmanship. Did Mr Graf get the idea from Daoust to build his skate?

could be vice versa though...

My uncle still has his and he refuses to get rid of them. Although he wears his other skates, he still keeps the leather insoles from them and wears them from time to time.

[epstud74 24]

Hmm I wonder how T-blades would look on these :) I dont think anyone else would anything remotely similar.

Those skates are amazing. I have 4 pairs of unused in my basement. My father bought them when the company closed, one of his good buddies worked for them. I don't put them on when I play for my junior team, but when I go to the outdoor rink during the winter, or when I play in my friend's beer league, I sometimes will put them on.

With those skates, you can skate all day long and never feel any pain on your feet. They'er just so comfy!

I think Yannick Perreault from the Predators still plays with tem.

[epstud74 24]

yeah he still does. Ive seen photos of him this year in his Daousts.
