Comments: I received these skates about six months ago, and decided to write a review about them. These skates have provided durability, great value, and comfort. I really like these skates, and you do not have to go through the trouble of spending another fifty to seventy dollars on wheels because they come equipped with Labeda Milleniums which are great for indoor use. These skates have great value, I only paid 180 dollars, and they cost around 300 every where else. I would recommend these skates to anybody looking for a new skate, thanks IW!

Comments: Bought these skates to replace my cobalt q's which were awesome. These skates have not disappointed me. For the price there isn't a better skate out there. You get top notch features that you don't see until you hit the $400 price range. They are fast, give great support and look pretty cool at the same time. Don't use them outside, they are indoor only skates. If you are looking for a great skate, make these your first choice.

Comments:i got these skates for christmas and i am very happy with them. these skates sell for around 320$ everywhere else, and 350 at my local hockey store. for just 170$ i got a great pair of skates for the price. i used mission A4`s before this and this was a big jump. i like the all 80 mm wheels on the chassis, and you get good wheels too. for just 170 $ this is a great price for great skates.

Comments: Awesome skates...but they fell apart due to outdoor play. I'm now buying the Tour Code MX skates which look to be a little more outdoor ready than these. Basically what happened was the outer side of the boots got scuffed apart at the seams from board and concrete surface contact. I play 3 times a week typically and did get a lot of use out of these.

Comments: Great skates had them for over a year but my only complaint is the studs that hold the boot to the chasis fall out and i cant find anyone to replace them.
From: Justin, CT
Comments:These skates are awesome. After 3 skates they're breaking in nicely. They are very fast, turn nicely, and are built with quality materials. Just looking at the detailed design that went into the back of the ankle where it wraps around your tendons is amazing. Nothing I can say that's bad about them yet.
