Comments: :I have mission skates but I always like to try new things,! I have used these skates once or twice. They fit very nice they were loose though but the second time it was better! I approve these skates!!!!!!!!

Comments: this skates is more suitable for people with low-med volume, narrow-med mid-forefoot, narrow heel, normal arch. Also, the boot is way too soft at this price point. So, for people with E or EE width, better try it first, or just move on another brands

Comments: I thought I'd give a little feedback on the fit of the Alkali CA7 skates. I fit well into a Bauer Vapor X5.0 ice skate in a size 8D. I spoke with the guys at Alkali, and the said that the size should transfer over just fine. I first purchased a pair of 8D's from you, and they were just a hair too small. My right big toe pushed against the toe of the boot. While they may have been just perfect after baking them and breaking them in, I did not want to chance it when you guarantee a fit. I sent them back, and re-ordered a size 8.5D and they are pretty much right on. Since the skate was new they felt a little loose side to side, but perfect lengthwise. After baking them and tightening the laces, they are a perfect fit. These skates are awesome. They are very fast and responsive.

Comments: Very comfortable and high-performance skates. It's a quality skate with quality material. The skates need very minimal break-in time and provide with excellent energy transfer.
