| 👍 Pros |
|---|
| Super lightweight and feels responsive, which is exactly what I was looking for in a skate for quick cuts and accelerations. My strides feel really explosive. |
| I went with the medium width and it feels like an extension of my foot. The SpeedBlade XS steel gives me some of the best edge control I've ever had. |
| Big difference from my old skates. The ankle support in the JetSpeeds is top-notch. I feel really locked in and stable on my edges. |
| 👎 Cons |
|---|
| Less durable than expected. The lining around the ankle already shows some signs of wear after just a couple of months of use. |
| I found the break-in period for these skates to be a bit longer than usual. |
| These skates felt a bit too stiff for me, especially in the forefoot area. It restricted my toe flexion a bit and made it harder to get a good push-off. |
This skate is intended for people who skate about once a week and are not super competitive. It'll hold up. If you skate ten times a week with these skates, they will only last you a little while, maybe a month or two. However, there is no quick or easy release for the metal runners or the blades. Many players look for skates with a metal release, which will let them swap out their blades. The more you sharpen them, the thinner they get. And in this case, you'd have to replace the whole bottom, the holder. It's more intensive than just clicking a button and adding new blades. But really, this is a solid skate for those who don’t skate every day.
