Zinger 0 Report post Posted April 1, 2012 Hey, After 3 years of use, my skates look like they're 7 years old... The boot went completely soft. The liner is ripped... The boot cracked. They were solid for the first year though. I definitely would not recommend them. Just my opinion.... Good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just look at other brands that are 3 yrs old, you wont find many top end skates that last much longer than that. Most start deteriorating after about 6 months of frequent use.

wetwilly17 6 Report post Posted April 2, 2012 Hey guys... considering buying pair of these. I've checked out the catalogs and done some searching, but do you think these a=would be a nice or big upgrade from Vector 10.0s. If so, what do you think is better about them.Also, I might need to try home baking them (I know it's risky, but I live close to 4 hours from the nearest LHS). Anyone think I'm crazy to consider it if I go on the lighter end of it and search carefully for instructions.Thanks in advance!Edit. I'd be getting them in the same width/size as my Vecotr 10.0s, which fit pretty well without baking.i've found the vector 10.0's are a much shallower skate around the ankle (not forefoot) and have a more narrow heel. but ofcourse the u+ reloaded conform more when baking.

Zinger 0 Report post Posted April 6, 2012 How often/heavily did you use them during those three years, if you don't mind my asking.I used them about 4 times a week. The skate just wasn't right for me I guess. 3 years is good use but they were already falling apart after a few months. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
