Comments:What an awesome skate! FINALLY someone that gets it! The fact that not everyone has ankles like Popeye's girlfriend Olive Oil and needs a stiff a$$ ski boots to skate around in! Some of us actually WANT a skate with flexibility like a well broken in pair of Bauer Supreme 5000, Mega Micron 1090's, or a good ol pair of SuperTack 652's. After two miserable seasons in the CCM U+ Pros, I am so happy I purchased what is the only skate for someone that grew up when they made real hockey skates out of leather and stitching, instead of all plastic, composite, and kevlar crap they throw together now! I have played hockey at many levels of competition for almost 30 years. I could/should have bought two pairs of these for what I paid for the overpriced CCM bricks. I see complaints that these Flexlite boots aren't "stiff" enough. IMO if they were any stiffer they'd be as useless and as miserable as the pretty CCM agony inducers. They are correct in the out of the box comfort, and should take no time to break in. Recommend having them heat molded. Great skate....enough said!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
From: Marc

Comments: I,ve had these skates for 4 months now and i absolutely love them. My next pair is probably gonna be flexlite 4.0 pro after these are done. Get waxed laces though as the flex causes the laces to loosen after awhile. HIGHLY RECCOMEND THESE SKATES!!!
From: Jason, NJ

Comments: Bought this skate after many others. I didn't even have this pair baked to fit. Sharpened them and been skating on them since. Best fitting skate for me right out of the box. No breakin pain. Great skate!
From: Eric

Comments:These skates are Beyond great! Those that have or haven't used the Bauer Flexlite line; the toe cap is a bit wide giving your toes some room to move up and down (I use a D width, but the overall boot is amazing! The boot is super stiff with great Energy return with every stride. The contour fitting of the boot is great as well as it locks your heel into place giving you more control on ice. Break in time is no problem and even better when you bake them. Defintely recommend.
