Abbieshockey20 1 Report post Posted October 26, 2006 I was at my LHS today and saw easton C8 skates, i didn't know what they were but they looked as if they were a top of the line skate (but i don't think so). I tried them on they were very light and comfortable. So i'm wondering if these are price point skates or good quality? And if anyone has them and their opinions.And yes i searched, but i don't think i know how to work the search tool :P. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BK 0 Report post Posted October 27, 2006 The skates are SMU's. Made to fill the pricepoint between the 800c and the 900.I'm not sure about the stick, but I have heard that they are just old model UL's repainted to look like the new ones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because i've seen ULs painted like the SLs, not syn 2's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
