Overview
The Mission Inhaler AC4 Roller Hockey Skates is the most affordable skate in the Inhaler line with the Inhaler Cooling System allowing your feet to stay cool and dry. The redesigned Hi-Lo™ Vanguard™ frames and the Rink Rat Hot Shot wheels increase overall speed and decrease your stopping distance.
The AC4 skates use Mission's Inhaler Technology allowing the air to pass through the toe caps and blow the hot air out of the side of the quarter package helping you keep cool and dry. A brushed nylon comfort liner along with a 2-piece white felt tongue provide a very comfortable fit. The tendon guard was lowered, providing an increased range of motion.
The Hi-Lo™ Vanguard™ Aluminum frames paired up with the Rink Rat Hot Shot wheels provide an increase in overall speed and decreases your stopping distance.

Comments: at first i really liked the ac4's, didn't have to break them in, they were comfortable, the wheels had nice grip to them. but now, after i had these skates for a year the foam on the inside of one of the skates is gone and it hurts my ankle so bad that i cant play. these skates didn't last as long as i thought they would. if you have the money you should probably buy one of the top of the line models but if your looking for a skate that is cheaper and still has great performance you should buy the ac4's, the only problem is that they wont last a very long time.

Comments: I got these to replace my Mission Axiom T6's. I had those for about 2 years and I play minor in PIHA. Just got these and used them during an intense pickup. DIdn't have to adjust anything, didn't have to break anything in. They felt great once I laced em up. Quickened my step a bit as well. Will continue to stick to the mission line as they continue to make great skates!

Comments: I've worn many generations of Mission skates and this line has been VERY good to me. Very supportive around the foot and I love the look of the skate. Primarily the white and black contrast on the eyelets give it a very unique look. Have always been D width however found the EE and a half size smaller is one of the best fits I've ever had.

Comments: Excellent Skates, got 9.5EE, air flow is awesome! Skated twice on them and already feels like I have been on them for 6 months. Would recommend to anyone looking for wide skates in the mid-price range
From: Tom, FL
Comments: Awesome skates you can feel the air coming through,it only took a few days to break in
From: Cam, Missouri
Comments: Nice skates. Really wanted these. However the supposedly extra-wide EE are not really wide at all. I wear EE Bauer ice skates and these are way too narrow in comparison. IW was gracious enough to send a size larger to try but they did not fit either. :( I did not get to try them skating so I can't comment on that. But they sure looked awesome and well constructed. If you dont have really wide feet then you'll love them.
