Squeeze any more life out of chasis? Or buying options

[_RH_ 1]

Alright these old skates have carried my cheap self around for a few years, and tonight the chasis broke:

Any chance I could weld these?  Bauer x400r (specs claim steel chasis)

 

Assuming the answer is no, what do I need to know about current products?  I'm shocked by how high the prices all seem to be.  I loved my mission axiom t8 fit, lately all the roller hockey skates I've tried seem narrow at the toes.  On ice I currently have Reebok 14k if that tells you anything about my feet.

I wouldn't risk welding those, but obviously people have definitely done dumber things. I don't know your means, but I prefer spending money on new skates than copays, so I would get something new. If you need wider look into Alkali or Tour. Tour prices actually are not that inflated. I think the fishbones from 20 years ago were around 400 and now there top skates are probably 6. They haven't gotten much better since then, but they fit wider. Also in higher end models you have Missions in ee

They are well & truly gone passed there due date & irreparable!

Shout yourself either a new pair of skates or chassis if money is a issue.

If it's within your means, do as the kids and millenials say, "treat yourself." I'd buy a new chassis if the skates haven't gotten too soft. Otherwise, I'd get new skates if you are able to try some on.

The retail true roller hockey skates are also worth looking into. Fairly certain they have a wider toe box and have 2 pricing tiers.
