Custom Building Roller Hockey Skates

Recommended Posts

I'm new to the forum but i have been playing competitive roller hockey for 12 years and I currently play D1 in the NCRHA for Robert Morris. I'm getting tired of roller hockey skates falling apart and mainly loosing their stiffness after a season (im very OCD about my gear)  and the prices for new high end skates are ridiculous. I just wanted to know if anyone has made a pair of skates (bought a boot and chassis separately). I saw Verbero offers a full composite skate boot for only $130 and i think i may but a magnesium chassis which is around $150. I feel like that combo would be as light and durable as possible. Being a college student I don't have the money for 1x skates but i want similar performance/ lightweight/ durability and I think composite is the best way to go. Anyone have any suggestions or past experience with this? Or any other product suggestions? Thanks.

If you want a stiff boot look at picking up a used pair of apx / apx2 boots. They come up on ebay for around $150 - $200, this is one boot that doesn't go soft and are really light and durable. Then do a conversion.
