Comments: Got these skates for christmas, for use as recreational skates at the local rink (where I work) I've used them about a dozen times and they felt broken in after the first use. Very padded and comfortable skates. Swiss bearings provide controllable speed and while the wheels are very grippy it doesn't make maneuvering the skates difficult at all. skates glide across the floor (indoor sports court) with ease. Love these skates

Comments: By far the best skates I have ever owned. Very light and seem like they'll take a beating. I was a little skeptical about the vents at first, but you feel the difference immediately! It's such a difference feeling the air as you skate. A little pricey but I would recommend them to anyone looking for an outstanding pair of skates!

Comments: I bought these a couple of months ago and I love them. I have always liked the Mission skates and these are the best yet. The AC3's are a good great skate for the price you pay.
