paisleypiranha 0 Report post Posted July 22, 2012 Just a quick question...could someone give me an insight on the vapor xxx's duralbility and also is it a good enough skate to be had with today's standards?-PP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nisselrm 22 Report post Posted July 22, 2012 Durability was a serious issue with these skates. That being said they performed extremely well and had a great fit. In comparison to todays top end skates I would say that while they are heavier the skates would perform with any skate in the current market. In terms of internal construction the x60,7.0, and apx all share internals based on the vapor xxx. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unless you're looking to spend under $75 bucks i'd get at least X:60s (can be found for $150 nowadays)imo the fit kinda changed with lated editions though the forefoot got wider etc etc, however beware if you can't try them as I really found them to be shorter lengthwise...

troy 12 Report post Posted July 25, 2012 I had three pairs of XXXs and loved them as I'd imagine someone loves a child. If you can find some from the first year's run, where the heel fade was more purple than black with more pronounced Flex Darts, you will be a very happy man.
