These are sweet. I love the look, the materials feel great, the tongue is incredibly plush and they're stiff down low yet very pliable up top. Can't wait to try them out. I'm just a little bummed the pitch3's on my old, unused s400's (size 11 / 46) are 288 and these notoriously bad holders are 280, but the boot fit's better in the Flyweight. Maybe I'll put CXN's on when I can.I know Mission used to say skate size = boot size, but that only works for me if I look at the European size, where I'm usually a 45. This 45 Mission as a 10 comes nowhere near my shoe size, where I can go down to an 11 if I ignore advice about room for the toes, but then that's likely due to all of that manufacturer inconsistency.

I have a few sample sheets left that I could use for a project like yours though I think it would be more protective to have it on the bottom of the sandwich, not that anyone would want to test that extensively of course.

Crossen463 8 Report post Posted June 9, 2013 Two twigs from the Rivermen leftover sale. Sebastian Wannstrom Reebok 20k's. I tried decoding these to the best of my knowledge, so I basically only know two things about them. 80 bones for the pair though, so I feel like it was a steal.

Krev 86 Report post Posted June 10, 2013 So a bunch of people have been asking to see the stick collection, and I finally got around to taking a picture of it. Left to right: V9E, RS2 (SE16's) x2, '05 Stealth x3, T-Flex x5, SiCore Grip, Synergy Gold x2, SiCore x3, Dolomite x4, Dolomite Spyne. A bunch of prostocks thrown in there. Pretty decent, if I do say so myself. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JSK81 400 Report post Posted June 13, 2013 http://www.icewarehouse.com/descpage.html?pcode=ACWRIS9For some people though, the fact that they have a Reebok logo means they're not protective enough.
