Top of the line 2005 skate shootout

[PH_Hockey2 4]

Im not sure on what im going to try on, but what about all of you out there?

[McCabe24 0]

I just picked a pair of Graf G3s a few months ago

Excellent skate so far

[Eazy_b97 1]

I'm hoping to order some reverse Gary Roberts SE 709's with some little extras (wider/ larger toe cap) and fire on my lightspeeds or go all out with some LS2s.

Vapor XXX's are calling my name but my wallet isn't answering.......lol. I have actually tried them on and they are stiffer than my XX's, but just can't break down and get em. Willpower kicks in, but I'm sure it will only be a matter of time.

If I get new skates (which I highly doubt I will), I'll get either custom Graf 705s or Mission L7s.

[flaming_june 2]

ccm pro tacks / nike flexlite

but it really matters to me where its made

if its in china, i aint buy it

[mojo122 541]

Mission L7 or Custom Graf 735's, but I have to admit that I'd like to try either the SyNergy 1300 or the Kor skates (For comparison and research purposes only).

Bauer 8090's/ XX seem to be really getting my attention, but i do plan on trying on some of the graf 700 series to see if i like the fit, if not ill be gettin bauers and their on sale at my LHS so its just a matter of time before my dad caves in.

i heard alot of good things from mission s500s. i think i might pick up a pair of those.

[mm705 0]

flexlites look sick and v12s are so comfy if they fit anything like those those are my next one

[tyler33 0]

I got vapor xxx and I can't complain. Best skates I have ever had, and I have had many.

[Chadd 916]

I think I can squeeze into a slightly smaller S500 so I may get another pair of them and a pair of the Kor's.

[headonaswivel 1]

I had a big credit at a store that is accross the country from me. That being said I can't get the skates I was after due to Bauer not allowing them to be shipped. I wanted G5 which they had to order so alasI went and tried on synergy's and loved them. I'll keep ya'll posted seeing as I ve worn Bauers for the last 8 years.

I've had my Vapor XX for quite some time now...2 years maybe. I am quite pleased with the performance of them and will probably will go for some Vapor XXX. I was also thinking about some Easton Synergies, but I don't know if they will be too stiff for me. (considering the whole boot is composite, wouldn't this mean you could never break it in?)

[JGraz15 55]

I like the 8090's but I must admit the XXX hype is getting to me

that guy doesn't have an axe to grind, does he? Is this the same review that was posted before?

[asdfa 0]

i already have 8090's and i can't see myself switching anytime soon, but if i had 700 bones hanging around, i'd pick up a pair of kors, they look nice, and it'd be good to support a canadian business ;)

[D3nZ 0]

I would personally go with the XXX, I've heard alot of good reviews from those skats and If I would have a little money left over sometime, might buy some and make rollers out of them.

[LetsGoWings13 0]

does any one kno if the new synergys well fit anything at all like the easton airs. I love those skates

[duckjob 1]

I can't say enough good things about the s500. I use them for ice and inline. Best skate I've ever worn.

[Accord 0]

Well, I bought a pair of 8090's in like late December / early January and they're great.

[UMWhockey 0]

skating in Bauer 8090 and Vector Pro's right now, but I want to give the KOR skates a try. Tried them on in Vegas and really want to see how they do on the ice. I don't like a lot of the new really light stiff skates even though i end up using them, so it will be nice to try something different.

[JR Boucicaut 3805]

I'm getting custom S500s...

I'm tempted to try KOR or the SyNergy 1300C.

[Edge 0]

Synergy 1300s are what's building temptation in me. They just have such cool features. I am gettin some 8090s in the next week or so though.
