Which is stiffer? 8K vs T6

[SCATMAN 33]

Hey team

Can anyone tell me which boot is stiffer? Reebok 8K vs Mission T6. Think ankle support. I cant get to a shop to compare either of them.

Someone told me the 8k wont be as stiff in the ankle compared to the T6, but the pump on the 8k will lock my heel in better and also give me extra ankle support. Can anyone confirm this?

Im ordering one of these skates by the weekend. Im currently using Vapor 40 ice skates, with grey superfeet. I will be using yellow superfeet in these inline skates.

cheeeeeeerrrs :)

I have tried the 6k and T7, so it won't be a perfect comparison, but straight out of the package, the Reeboks were extremely soft in comparison to the Mission/Bauer skates I have received in the same price range. I ended up returning them to Inline Warehouse because of it. The T7 on the other hand are crazy stiff. After a few months of use, they are still far far stiffer than the Reebok.

If you are skating on Bauer Vapor X40's, then you should consider the Bauer Vapor RX:25 inlines. They will certainly be a closer fit then either the Mission or the Reebok to your ice skates. As far as stiffness goes, the 25's are probably the stiffest of that group.

I would recommend that you checkout my "Full Review of Bauer RX:60", as it some very good sizing information on the 25's. They fit a bit bigger then the ice line, so you might want to get a half size smaller than your X40's.

The 25's are wider than the ice line, so the fit isn't really all that close. I believe the t6 is stiffer than the rx25s anyways. They are definitely stiffer than the 8ks.

Hey bud as a side note, how are the t7 skates, are they good value ? Also are the relatively light ?
