Aussie Joe 0 Report post Posted February 19, 2005 I just couldn't force myself to buy TOUR. To me they will always be the generic "just starting out in the game" company. I used to have an old pair of Tours and the heels broke on both skates and exposed the plastic inserts which were also very sharp!Why would you buy TOUR anyways when Bauer, Nike etc are making such good quality stuff? Ah the mysteries of the world Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jnicklo 0 Report post Posted February 19, 2005 I'm sorry, but I LOVE my Tour BlueMax skates. Some of the best players in the adult league I play in are skating on Tours BlueMax and Beemers.They're not "just starting out in the game" skates IMO. Maybe you bought yourself a pair of low end Tours Aussie Joe????? ;)I had a pair of Nike Gator skates that were absolute crap.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MDE3 0 Report post Posted February 19, 2005 Actually just for your info....Tour have been making inline and roller skates probably longer than anybody else out there....They have been the major supplier for roller rink rental skates(quads) and one of the premier supplier of inline speed skates around the world for years. Tour were the first company to offer a "rental" inline hockey skate. This way before inlines were ever being used in any numbers, and before Missions were even out on the market. If you haven't tried the new skates which have many very happy users..please do not insult those of us who have, and are more than happy with the product, simply because of your "impressions". Impressions which are obviously based on erroneous information. Some of us actually think they make a great product, and provide not only some technical advantages, but comfort and great durability as well.... The president of Tour just happens to be their chief skate designer....how many of the skate companies can say that? He also happens to be one of the quiet but nonetheless, one of the major forces in the world in bringing inline hockey to fruition...in places like China and elsewhere....They are NOT a "Johnny come lately", but they do not try to make a splash in the same way some other companies do.

One of the guys on my ice team plays for a Tour sponsored team and said the new inline skates have been getting a good reputation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
