Wow!

Decided to grab these babies after they went on clearance. All I can say is wow! Fantastic performance, great stiffness and light as a feather. Don’t bother with the stock laces though. Get yourself some waxed laces and a nice bake and you’ll be good to go. Also for those concerned about the tongue just remember any high-end skate will be extremely stiff at first and will take longer to break in although I’ve had no issues with mine.

Great price, great comfort

My first new pair of skates in probably 10-15 years. I was really anxious about the work-in time, especially with my upcoming D-league playoffs. The staff at Woodbridge, NJ hockey monkey was great in helping me get properly fit and baking them. These literally took 3 shifts before I felt comfortable in them. Got them on a nice promotion too, which was ~40% of MSRP.

Great backup stick/training aid

Great stick that feels very similar to the other high end sticks in Bauer’s new Vapor lineup just a little heavier. I mainly use it as a backup and a training aid but this would make an excellent first stick for a newer or younger player.
