The ones that fit your feet? Welcome to MSH.

yeah, find what fits your feet the best... If I could get any skates I wanted I would get the one90s.

you could always go custom and make any of them fit your foot and choose by features/durability, but then that adds to price so idk if thats an option...

i heard Salming F1s are pretty good skates, but idk if you want to try t-blades. You can find them on ebay for like $150

i would stick in XXX if they fit you, but if one90 fit better i would go to them...

Get the skates that fit you best. All makes and models have unique characteristics that work great for some and are a disaster for others. Go to a reputable local hockey store and try lots on before you buy. Also, don't screw your local hockey store by using their time and expertise to learn what skates work for you, then buy them online. At the end of the day the price isn't a huge difference and you've burned a bridge in the event you need service.

Ya, i would go with the one90's, but i voted for the XXX's because they're the best skate i've ever had and havent had the chance to see the one90's in a LHS, but im sure they will be great.

Why'd you need a new pair of skates?

Skate buy tricks:

1 Don't buy online

2 listen to advice, from people on your team to the guy at the LHS fitting you

3 don't be afraid to try a "non-cool" or new (to you) skate that fits you etc.

I'm really sweet on a skate that grew on me, the Kor Shift 1. It's perfect for me, the fit, protection and everything. Get what is good for you. Try everything. Don't just buy the latest greatest lightest strongest fastest whatever. Sometimes you'll be better off without it.

Try on some Mission Fuel AG/XP while your in the shop, they're amazing if they fit properly.
