Cosmetic Blemish Skates?

Recommended Posts

I bought some 9k's with a blem, it was just a mark on the toe which was nothing. Its always different but as far as they i know its nothing major or anything that will affect the boot. So yes its just small scratches or marks that happened during the manufacturing or shipping process i assume so they can't really sell them as brand new (i think anyways). IMO really worth it.

Too bad they're the 08 model

Why? Are they that much worse than the '09 model?

Yeah that's what I thought, they have them priced $40 less than the "new" ones so probably worth it, since you're just going to scratch them when using them yourself anyways.

Some of the "cosmetic blemish" Vapors that Peranis had a few years back were really bad. I have a hard time feeling comfortable buying skates that they admit have problems.

Oh just $40?

Well i got mine for 40% off of the unblemished, because you are buying online and you don't know for sure what the blemish is it might not be worth $40, like chad is sayin. The blemish i encountered when i bought them i also bought them from my LHS so i knew what is was.

IMO just phone HM and tell them your size etc and they call probably pull the skates for you and describe it atleast.
