J03Y 2 Report post Posted February 6, 2013 I can't speak to the Tour's, but I know a few people who have had issues with the 5k's breaking down. Take into account that both skates have an all 80 chassis setup. For some people that doesn;t matter, for myself that's not an option. That being said, I've always been a Reebok hack and will only wear Reebok so I would personally go with the 5k's. Even when I decided on doing a conversion I chose Reebok 14k ice boots to convert. Ultimately I would try on both skates if possible and see what suits you better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
