I believe those are prostock V-12's. Correct me if i'm wrong.

Why would pro stock V12s sell for over $100 less than retail V12s?

Correct me if i'm wrong.

I guess i was wrong, But i think theyre very close to the V12. Look at it this way, the V12's are XX's and the V-forces are XV's. They look just like V12's to me

The V-Forces are between V-12 and V-10, so consider them like a V-11... I guess.

thats wat i thought.

good skates or not? i have a pair of vapor xx right now would you switch to those skates?

[asdfa 0]

they're heavier than XX, fit wider (i think) but are probably more comfortable so if that's what you're looking for, then go for them

I'd get V-12's over the V-Forces if I had the money. But I'd get S500 or 8090 over either Nike skate.

I would think of it as a bit of a performance drop. You'd need to evaluate how the XX's fit your foot, and how the Nike's would fit your foot. Everyone says they are so comfy, but thats only to them, I have a pair of Hi-Ho Silvers and they are anything but. It's just because they don't match up well with my foot I guess.

Ok thanks ..... maybe ill put some t-blades or a pair of clear tuuks on those babys

Well they come with Lightspeeds, but if you dont like them T-Blades or clear regular Tuuks would be good.

i had nike quest skates few years ago so i guess those will be fine

[Eazy_b97 1]

The Quest line was much narrower than the V-line.

really... now that s BAD because i have narrow feet ..........

[JR Boucicaut 3760]

V line is wider than Quest. Wide forefoot, wide heel. Imagine an "8"

my xx s are size D and the fit was perfect ., i guess the v-force is out of questions for me right :( even if i put an extra pair of socks!!!!!!!!

[JR Boucicaut 3760]

Big, That looks like the same boot as I have on my new Nike Roller Daddy's.

I currently use Vapor 10 skates. I agree with JR, The Nike boot is wider in the fore foot and heel, but same mid foot/arch. The Nike boot is more comfy that the Bauer, but I feel the Nike boot lacks stiffness and foreward flex.
