1300c vs 1500c?

[kovalchuk71 212]

Just wondering what makes them different? I was searching and can't find the answer. Is the fit the same as the 1500c? I can get the 1300c for a deal and I love my 1500c's to death. Thanks guys

i personally didnt have any issues going from the 1500 to 1300(admittedly only one session lol) however i believe the 1300's are alot higher cut and people had terrible issues with them. My friend is suffering at the moment but he's determined to battle thru. basically because the carbon has no give and the cut is higher, people found the sides digging into their ankles and causing nasty pain. didnt happen to me but a few guys i know called them the skates of death lol. one thing i can say is you wont be able to tell until you have actually skated a session in them.

the 1300 was, in my opinion as someone that owned a pair, absolutely appalling.

the previous post is right in that the high cut of the boot, and zero give from the boot meant i had holes dug in just above my ankles that were very deep and never healed before i next had to wear the skates... if i recall correctly they changed the composite for the 1500 which made it heat mouldable and also lowered the cut - but people still had problems.

i also don't like the LPS chassis at all.

the 1300s were the last piece of Easton equipment i'll ever buy.

yes, that bad.

I had a pair of 1300s and loved them. A little TLC and they held up fairly well. Took about a year to start having the infamous toe problem, but they lasted much longer than anyone expected.

And yes, 1500s are able to be baked while 1300s are not.

Side-note: My last two pairs of skates have been Eastons and I made the decision to break both of them in naturally (no baking). I found that this led to a much longer life than those that had gone through the baking process.

Did you have the 1500c as well? Can you compare the 2?

I didn't have the 1500. I do know that when I got my 1300s, the 1500s were available and I couldn't find a significant difference between the two, so I went with the less expensive skate.
