hockeyguy2925 0 Report post Posted April 6, 2011 OK so I am looking to get some new skates, I am in my second year of college hockey and my 6 year old Vapor XX's are totally falling apart, even though I don't want to give them up. I know i should try my new skates on before I purchase them, but I am looking to save some money and go with last years models. Within the past week every site I have been on has sold out of my current XX size which is 8d. My question is does anyone have experience coming from the XX/XXX line to the new X60 skates, and if so do they fit relatively the same. I don't want to spend $400 on skates and have them be uncomfortable but I also don't want to wait till the weekend to try them on at a local skate shop (if they still even have them) and get stuck purchasing the new vapor line for much more $. Also if anyone knows where i can get a pair of the X60's in size 8d for the going rate (399.99), that would be awesome aswell.thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tondog 12 Report post Posted April 6, 2011 It's getting sadder for me to admit but my X50's are STILL more comfortable than my X60 LE boots. I'd sure recommend trying both. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hockeyguy2925 0 Report post Posted April 6, 2011 ok so maybe i should wait and try both the X50s and X60s? i found one site with a pretty good selection of sizes available, hopefully it stays that way until the weekend when i actually have a chance to go try them on.

nisselrm 21 Report post Posted April 14, 2011 Just went from xxxx to x60 (custom) and obviously my liner, size where the same there was no difference in pitch so there was no adjustment time for things like a taller.holder etc. Really only had to adjust to new runner. The x60s were noticeably lighter and have been extremely comfortable. The x60 is also built Like a xxx internally with the externals of a xxxx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
