Ive always bought Easton skates when I was younger and actually played hockey. But I just bought a new pair of Eastons at Sport Mart for 125bux (last years model). And I think thier great.

I also have Nike Rollerblades(hockey) and I do agree with them being too narrow.

^ I want to get the whole plastic part as well as the blade so Im hoping the XX blades will fit on mine.. if not ill get the normal ones.

and the xxx are very light and good but very very and i mean very expensive lol. and the eastons are pretty light but to expensive and for around the same price you could get the xxx imo which are better... thats just personal opinon but those are way to expensive for just fun use.

imported_Shazza

yeah, it would mostly be just for fun...for now. but u know ed...has to be the best of the best...but that aint gonna happen. friggin good skates are soooooooo expensive now.

imported_Shazza

ok...now, where should i go to buy 'em? i wanna go somewhere where there's a wide selection with decent prices and with good quality skates.

i used to only buy my equipement at West Star in mississauga, but that being said, i knew all the owners since i was 5 years old, so they gave me really good discounts or cost + 5%. not sure what their prices are now. I would suggest have a look at Sport Chek, or maybe someother people know of a few places. Or just go to sport chek to just have a look around at their selection and their prices, so you have an idea of the cost.

i think the bauer XXX are about 699 i can get them for i think 400 cash no tax and the eastons are like 800 i could get them for about 500 i dont really know wut the prices are im guessin

if u find the regular price i could tell u wut i could get them for

and the easton one piece stick i got hookups i have the 350$$ synergy stleath i paid on 70 for it and wenever i brake it i give it back and get a new one for free but thats cuz i used to work there i can only get that deal but i could hook u up on skates and equipment

i gots a wide foot, CCM's for me....

imported_angryasian

i love west star! been goin there since i moved to mississauga, really nice people, good service!

imported_alwaysoverkill

comfortable = CCM tacks with Reebok air pump system. Used these for all-star hockey and god damn these were so comfy. I'm not even sure if they still make pump skates, or how much they would be, but these were by far the most comfortable skates I ever used. pumped up in 1 second with C02 quick inflate system and tightens the skate around your entire foot as there is air in both sides and the tongue.

ahh, I miss playing Hockey

imported_climax

I broke both my sticks and i need a good one, I have ccm vector i had the red joe thronton curve one and the blue one.
I want a iglina curve stick (any synergy) can you let me know a price on anything you can get?


For the skates.. I would recommend national sports on dundas in mississauga, or sport chek by square one. And take some of the information about wide/narrow.. then you can make a decision about what you want to pay.. and get the best for that amount.

My XI vapors which I got when they first came out.. the blade is loose and I might get some new skates..
