Previous Feedback
Comments: I purchased these skates from a local hockey store for a steal of a price, they were on clearance making room for new product, and after using bauers that were far too large and hurt my feet after 10 minutes of skating, these ccms were like skating on clouds. barely needed a break-in, no need to bake them. I plan on throwing some waxed laces on there to really make these skates everything I want and more. 5/5 without a doubt

Comments: I bought these skates as a beginner and got them heat molded to my feet. I have very flat feet and I wear roughly size 10.5-11 shoes and got these boots in size 8.5. My flat feet cause these skates to hurt a lot, but that's been the case with all skates I've worn. I'd say these skates do a good job of minimizing the pain.
