I was in the market for a new set of skates to replace my previous Vapors and wanted something in the middle of the road as far as price/features. I only skate a few times a month so I had a tough time justifying spending more than twice as much on the higher end models and I have no complaints about these skates. After baking them and getting on the ice I noticed a comfortable fit and felt confident in my ability to perform well. I wear a 7.5 skate and went with the fit 2 version and they hug my feet quite well. They feel lighter and faster than my previous skates and having the ability to easily swap out blades is a great feature. Overall I'd say these are a solid buy for anyone looking for an increase in performance over some basic skates without breaking the bank.
