Wicked 7s or HE 5500s?

[windflare 0]

My friend is trying to decide between the Wicked 7s and the 5500s, both available in the same size, though the Wicked 7s are more expensive. Are there significant differences between these two skates? And which one is 'better'?

Thanks for your help guys.

It depends on your friends opinion. Just have him try on a pair of each at your LHS and let him decide.
