I wanted to see if these skates were anygood. I was looking to get just the boot and putting them on some sprungs. I wanted to know how they fit compared to other skates like tours and if they are comfortable because that is really what my foot needs rather then light skates.

thnx

super stiff skates...

check out the sprung thread, Rick has put sprungs on his zair boots.

fatwabbit is right. I really like mine now that they are pretty well broken in. They are a good stiff boot for the price. As far as comfort goes I always skated in Tacks which were comfortable from the get go and when I mounted the Z-Airs they were so stiff I switched back to Tacks for a while and then put the Sprungs back on the Airs a while back. After a couple of skates the Easton's really started to break in and now I can't really imagine switching to something else. I still love Tacks but the Z-Airs have won a place in my heart.

Good Luck

z'airs are amazing skates. extremely stiff and durable from my experience in them.

I'll ditto everything said here. Really stiff, but after being broken in, they are great. A little heavy, but not horrible (i'm slow anyway). REally nice for roller, as the sole has a rubber piece that wraps up right at the wear points just toeward of the arch.
