Old high end vs new mid end

Recommended Posts

Just wondering how a high end skate from say 5-10 years ago compares to a mid end skate now (Vapor XV '04, vs Supreme One.60 '11),

Also wondering if anyone has any information on the Bauer Vapor SFL XV's from I think 2004. Were they the 2nd highest model from the Vapor series back then behind the XX? Anyone got opinions on them.

if I were to choose, I wouldn't go farther back than the bauer one 95, because the technology really has evolved a lot. comfort and support are way better than before. So I wouldn't go with any of the skates you're mentionning. I know I'm not really helping, but my answer would be neither..

With skates, fit is king, always. What fits is what you should wear.

That said of two skates that fit equally well, I would buy the newer ones. Skates have improved over the last 5-10 years and you'll have the benefit of some warranty. The older, higher end ones may have a better spec or better materials, but that isn't enough reason for me to buy old skates.
