smadair22 0 Report post Posted June 25, 2018 (edited) I have tested a pair of these and they seemed solid and comfortable without using the pump, does anyone use these without the pump or is the pump a major aspect of these skates? Found a new pair of these with one pump not working correcting so wondering if it is worth it to get for real cheap?

Aside from some a few recent minor issues with the quarters near the toe box, my 50Ks are still going strong after over three years. Best pair of skates I've ever owned bar none.

Price is also a bargain. 250€ in Finland for eg. 70K’s are lighter I admit. Though they feel almost the same than Super Tacks or FT1. Memory foams don’t stand a chance against the pump! I know, I’ve tried! But it's up to you. 🙂 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
