Former Mega 10-90 Users

[Powerfibers 8]

I am just wondering what skates currently available are in favor with those of us who have been 10-90 users. Mine are getting worn, and I may need to replace them soon. I have been holding on to these for a very long time, and I dread retiring them, but they are slowly breaking down and getting funky (not from neglect, I take the foot beds out and air them out after every single skate.)

I know the Bauer 8090 are a close match (exact?, same last?), but what other boots are good for a foot shape that likes the Mega 1090s? I have not been able to find any 8090s available in 6.5. Thanks.

The Supreme 70 fits like an 8090 which fits like a 10-90. Since they have been out awhile you might be able to pick some up for a decent price.

How are the Supreme 70's quality wise as compared to the 8090's? My 8090's are getting pretty worn, and I am looking for a comparable skate, both feel, and durability wise. Are the one90's close to the 8090's in terms of fit also?

Thanks,

Chris

I wear 709 grafs until my Ultra G70's get here from Switzerland on the 15th

70s and even 50s seem pretty popular around here, and they may be a great choice. Also, I bet the newer heat-fitable materials will make them even more comfortable. Thanks.

I will look into the 709s as well. Thanks.

I went from 10-90's to a bunch of Pro Stock 2000's then 7000's and now Flexlite 12's...the Flexlite's were an adjustment but I am really liking them and use them for both ice and roller

I guess I will give the 70's a try, does anyone know how close to the 8090's the Bauer one90s are. Close, not so close, worlds apart? I know I have to try them out, but was wondering if anyone knew how close they were.

Be aware: a stock D-width in Bauer 8090 is the same as an EE in a Micron 10-90, IIRC. I can't even get my foot into a D-width 10-90.

One 90's not close to an 8090...

Thanks for that I did some searching but I found peoples replys varied, though most said like you that they are not very close. I have a very wide forefoot, high arch, and a high instep. The 8090's are perfect for my footshape, so I guess I will give the 70's a shot. Thanks for the responses.

I loved my old Micron Mega 10-90's...wish I still had them. I've been looking for years for a pair in size 9, but no luck. I am now wearing RBK 9k's which, to me, are almost as comfortable as my 10-90's were. Try them on and see what you think.

Guys, thanks for all the help with my original post. I ended up buying a pair of Graf 735 6.5EE. They are better in the heel, and they feel like a dream. Thanks,
