Easton S11 skate

[stick9 903]

I did some searching even read through the S15 reviews. I still have a few questions.

I hear a lot about the leather coming unglued from the composite shell, was this ever addressed? There looks to be stitching on the leather areas.

The toe cap looks tiny. How does it compare to the Graf toe cap?

Fit wise, how deep is this boot? I'm in a RBK now and that seem to be deep enough for me. Is the S11 even worth trying on? My LHS has them for $250 right now, i expect the price to drop again once the 09's hit the shelf.

The stiching on the leather is more to hold the different leather peices togeather in a big peice, then it's all glued on to the composite shell. Can't help to much on the rest.

I have heard issues about the leather pieces separating off the composite boot but from my understanding it doesn't effect the integrity of the boot. It just looks lousy cosmetically. The toe cap in the S-11 is actually fairly wide but very low profile . The Graf toe cap is actually less roomy but made of a very durable material. You won't have any wear issues with the Graf toe cap. The S-11 is a slightly deeper fit than the Graf 703 (G3) or 705(G5) but the Graf 707 is close. The Graf 709 is a very deep fit.
