Sticks of Fury 0 Report post Posted May 25, 2006 A hockey guy recommended I get the Bauer XIX or the XIV's skates because he felt that I would have more agility on them. He is a really good skater and it looks like his skates are glued to the ice. He wears Bauer XX's.Also, getting older and slower. :( Please give me your experience with these skates. Thanks!Maybe my final pair I buy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SMP 0 Report post Posted May 25, 2006 XIX's are my current skate and I like them a lot. Make sure you try some on first though... they're kinda narrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fredrik 0 Report post Posted May 25, 2006 They are buildt to perform, but unfortunately not to last...If you want skates that will last you a lifetime, i'd say go for the CCM Pro Tacks (if they fit your foot) they are buildt like TANKS! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
