Flexlite 4.0 Pro vs. Nike Quest 1

Recommended Posts

Anyone skated in both or know how the fitment compares? Looks very similar at first glance... I loved my Nike Quest 1's more than any other skates combined with Superfeet.. Never been able to find another pair.

I have 2 pairs of the Quest 1s( 1 pro 9D and 1 retail 9EE) and a pair of pro Flexlite 12s (8D),toes touch in all pairs. The Quests are my favorite. The Flexlites are wider, cut lower and boxy. I have not found a pair of skates that fit my foot like the Quests do. I have been nursing the first pair of quests since 2002 and I save the other pair for coaching.

I've been unsuccessful trying to find another pair. It's brutal, love the skate. I tried to get Bauer to do something custom similar, didn't work out.

As someone who tracks down old model skates due to the love of them from past glory days (lol), best advice - check eBay religiously. Theres a pair size 12 on there right now (USA) - a pair will surface without doubt for you mate

Yea that's what I'm hoping for I'm a size 6D in the Quest 1's.

I did try on a pair of Fuel 120 XP's a couple years back and loved the cut, but was unsure about the stiffness of the boot and the 500.00 price tag was steep for a skate I was unsure about. I like real stiff skates (Quest 1's I always thought were stiff as a board). I'm thinking if I can find a pair of those now in my size maybe they may be an option as well.

Anyone know what the highest cut skate on the market is with the narrowest heel these days?

6D? I've got a couple of brand new pairs in the garage if you're interested.
