I skated on them last night for the first time... I'm helping my boss coach his hockey team this year.
I gotta say, they're like freaking Cadillacs for your feet! I went from standing around, to skating at a crawl, to full tilt once the kids were largely off the ice and my feet were completely happy all the time. No "new skate" woes or anything.
If memory serves, my last pair of good skates were Bauer Supremes 10 years ago (before they were lost 4 years later <_< ) and even they weren't that good for the first couple of weeks. I could have skated all night yesterday! :D
I really recommend these guys for pickup, fairly-competitive industrial leagues, etc. etc. I'm sure they don't have all the niceties of $400+ skates, but for what I need them for they're ideal.
