Debating turning in skates for a warranty claim

[eric42434224 1]

Any freshly sharpened skate applied with pressure, speed, and force will cut any skate upper boot material except Eastons. The Eastons will self destruct on their own.

My custom pro s15's are in near perfect shape after almost a year. Not one single stich or leather seperation, no glue issues, and still 90% stiff as day one. Granted it is twice a week adult league, but I play hard and am 225 lbs. I think some of the custom changes on my skates were incorporated into the new s17 (actually I am 100% sure that at least some were). This bodes well for Easton improving their durability. My first gen s15's fell apart in 3 months, but after these improvements, I could give them another shot with my next skate, especially with the success of my current pair. It might be a while before I am even able to try a new pair as my s15's are holing up like tanks. I know, it is wierd to me too seeing the words "s15" and "tanks" in the same sentence....but it is true.

That would be your answer right there. Glad to hear your CUSTOM, not retail Eastons are holding up.

But the new Eastons have some of the very features that are on the customs. That makes me think it is a good chance they will be more durable. I guess we will see.

May I hijack thread for a second? I just bought a pair of One75's. Skated once and found right holder to be mis-aligned from factory. LHS says bring them in and he will re mount. Should he do this , give me a new pair if my size is in stock, or send them back and wait for replacements? Never had to deal with a defect before. Thanks for the help!

Don't remount, get a new pair! Remounts will give you problems after the warranty expires.

Yup, go get yourself a new pair.
