Previous Feedback
Comments:I have been a Bauer guy my whole life, so these did not surprise me. Good feel, quick skates on the ice. Coming from the Supreme line, they may have a quicker/tighter turn radius, a more aggressive lean, and more "glove" like fit. They took a little time to break in, 4-5 games, but now they fit like a glove. Recommend the superfeet insoles to add comfort/decrease break-in. For $250 this is a steal.
