Nike Flexlite 12

Recommended Posts

How do the flexlite 12's stand up to the greater skates such as Vapor X:60? And then i don't mean the fit. I'm thinking performance wise.

And another thing i'm 6'3" and weigh 190lbs, am i to heavy for this boot?

I've worn Vector 10.0, CCM U+ Pro, and now X:60 and Flexlites are still my favorite skates of all time. I'm only 5' 9" 160lbs so I don't know how it would support your weight, but I found them to be extremely light and agile. The only draw back in my opinion would be that the protection on that skate is absolutely garbage.

I'm 6' 2'' and around 228 lbs and have had these skates for around 3 years and love them. Very light, but durable. I had the stock steel swapped out, but that's your preference. If you can find a good deal on them, go for it.

Sounds good. A local dealer has a pair my size for 180$ sounds like a bargain? These ARE better then flexlite 4.0 right? how does it stand against 4.0 PRO?

I have Nike Flexlite 12's and Bauer Flexlite 4.0's, as far as I can tell the only difference is the tongue and their colour, so no; the 12's are not better than the 4.0's. Between the two I would say the newer Flexlite 4.0's are better for me, because of the better tongue.

They're both lighter than Vapor 40's if that's any help to you.
