How bout this one, what are your favorite pair of skates youve ever had. Any model, from the old super tacks to the synergys.

My favorite pair was probley the Graf 625's

Bauer Vapor XX's real nice fit, light, but durability is a small drawback.

I'd have to say graf 709 SE's, but I think I might pick up a pair of flex lites soon so we'll see how that goes...

I guess 8090s because they are the first highend skate I've had, only problem is when I go barefoot I get blisters on the back of the heel, and when I wear socks the bottom of my left foot hurts

Comfy-est for me would have to be old school Mega Air 90's, Bauer Air 90's.

Come to think of it............why the hell don't I own a pair of 8090's ?!?!

Unfortunately I think my best days are behind me and I skated those in CCM 752 Kevlars. Got two pairs unused, old stock sittin' in my room :D

EDIT: Forgot to mention................yes, the mega's fit me diff. than the 752's, but w/ the proper footbeds, the kevlars are quite comfy.

My dad has a pair or two of those. It's kinda cool if you look at all the skates that he's worn, because so much technology has changed. He's wearing the gold CCM tacks, I think it was the model just below the tacks pro, now, and he also has some really old skates. Cool stuff.

Daoust 501's. They're getting awfully close to the end of the line and have only lasted this long because I've been away from the game for the last several years.

mission s500's

The old Vapor 10's, grey and black boot, triangles in the steel on the blade. They were beauties. I'd take a pair right now if I had the chance.

I would have to go with the same answer as you a year ago but today, thats not the case

Vapor 10's is the best skate ever made, just not for my foot, that why guys like Hossa, Bert, Nas etc refuse to change

my favorite would have to be the ones i had to beg my mom for and my first... CCM tacks from like 10 years ago, no idea what model. they were mad light but paper thin. i still remember my first time on them cause i had a heck of a time skating in them even though i played a TON of street hockey on my roller blades. Anyways long story short it turns out the stupid hockey shop didn't sharpen them for me and since i didn't know anything about ice skates at the time i thought it was me for the longest time. i remember being able to skate forward and turning a bit as long as i stayed on the inside edge but anything else and it was total wipe out city.

I personally come from a asian family so playing hockey just wasn't something my parents would allow me to do... so the day i stepped onto the ice with full hockey gear on after years of begging my parents was and still is the happiest day of my life. i still remember waddling to the center line before anyone else had got on and just laid there flat on my back looking up with the biggest grin you will ever see.. :D

my favorite new skate would have to be my purelite (one model below the purefly). they are not the best at anything and even though i like the feel of my easton air SBX better i still go back to the purelites most of the time mainly because it has that stripped feel to it and not over padded like most other skates these days.

652 vacutacks and vapor 10s

[MissConduct 1]

Graf 502SE's mmmmhmmmmmmmmm :D

[chippa13 1844]

Way back in like '84 I got a pair of Graf 501's that were fantastic. I had those for about 9 years.

[tooley18 0]

vapor 10's and I'm still using them...they're in great shape

[Mario123 2]

My favorite so far were the Bauer Supreme 2000's I had in 1994. They had the old Bauer clarino gold lining. Or was it clarino? A close second would be my 703's.

If anybody knows where I can find a new or almost new pair of Bauer 2000's, speak up.

Without a doubt, my S500s
