Buying inline hockey skates, help me choose between these 3 (links provided)??
I use CCM skates on the ice, but for roller I like Mission .. see if you can try these skates on locally because fit is a bit different whether if you have a wide or narrow foot. If you can, wear the socks you intend on using when playing hockey. Oh and don't forget to get outdoor - intended wheels. Looks like all three models come with sport court - style wheels, they will not only wear down in no time on cement but then if you'll have to buy new ones if you need them for indoor. Make sense?
Reply:I would definitely go with the Missions for roller. I've had a pair of 5500's for going on 4 years now and they've worked wonders for me. The skates are extremely comfortable and haven't caused blisters even during four and five game weekends. There is also some great padding on the boot that really helps when blocking shots. I know that the other brands are better for ice but when it comes to roller I would go with the Missions. My previous pair was some Bauer's but they didn't last nearly as long as these have.





Side note: the only problem I've had with these skates is the eyelets coming out after about 2 + years of use. Not a major problem, as it is easily correctible.
Reply:going to have to disagree with the other people on this one. nike bauer is always my choice. rbks are poorly made and the wheels WILL melt on the outdoor rink. mission is the brand to choose for inline hockey but i very much dislike their skates because they weigh a ton. if you dont mind too much about the skate weight then mission is a good choice. but the chasis on the new bauers give good agility and turning for your game.
Reply:definitely get the mission! mission is a great in-line hockey company and make quality products. I have a pair of mission in-line skates and i've had them for 4 years and they're in near perfect condition. I use them all the time.
Reply:I agree with the missions.





I have a set of the mission lt. and they are sweet.
