Easton S15 Questions

Recommended Posts

both custom+ and PITCH, I believe(I know PITCH will but I'm blanking on custom+ right now). You might need to widen the holes a bit.

im pretty sure the Custom + matches the Easton holder

LS won't match.

Tuuk will match perfectly, PITCH will take some hole expansion.

Skated them today on a lil skating date, guy stopped me and asked me where I got them done. I said I did them myself. LOL

There's a kid on my son's Midget team that has had problems with his S15's. First pair had to go back on a warranty claim because of the toe cap issues others have reported and now his replacement pair (got in late Sept or early Oct) are coming apart like the ones in this thread, glue & stitching failing & separating from the carbon part of the boot.

Junk.

haha, I knew it! Amazing how much practically useless information someone can absorb(I'm talking about me).

I was thinking I was going to be getting a deal from my LHS by picking up a pair of the s15's new for $264 ( 50% off) but after seeing these pics, Im going to hold out for something more durable........

I've skated 3 times on my S15's since performing my "do it yourself" repair. So far, so good, but time will tell how long the repair holds up for.

Which LHS is selling them for $264? That price is way below cost. Unless it is just 1 pair they are selling, perhaps a return or defective pair, that price seems very odd.

Went with Loctite branded super glue. Gorilla makes "super glue", but Home Depot didn't carry it.

It might be interesting to see whether it was the right or left skate (or both) that others have had the same problem with? For me it was the left skate, which is my smaller foot, and not the foot that I tend to push off of when I take my first strides. My right skate is showing absolutely NO signs of separation.

One more echo here.. Great skate. Luckily, fits me perfect without any baking. Got them when they first came out. Had a durability prob early on (see pics) after 2-3 uses. Granted, it was only cosmetic, I'm sure it would have gotten worse or spread if I kept using them. Sent them back immediately and got a replacement pair.

From seeing my two different pairs, and reading two different sets of opinions on the durability, it almost seems like there is a consistent good batch, and bad batch of skates coming out of manufacturing. I had figured that my skates were rushed through production for the first run and quality suffered, but if people are still buying skates now and are having durability issues, it seems like an on-going problem.

I want skates built on Wednesday!!

Just a quick shift from the s15, I just bought a pair of Easton Synergy 800C

skates. Anyone aware of issues with those skates. They seem to fit and work very well for me - tried many skates before. I already have a chip in the toe after one public skate but that is cosmetic and I may coat the toes with protectoe if I decide to really care about the looks.

Saw this and was curious if this is the new S15 or just a beefed up model. Looking at the weave threw the composit shell and lack of graphics.
