Advice on goalie skates?

[dcstorm97]

Hey guys,

I'm moving up from my Vapor XXX's but don't know whether to choose from the Graf G50, One95 or RBK 9K.

I liked the 95's but reluctant when i saw the difference in blade size. i had comfort issues in my xxx's and naturally, after standing for 60 minutes and as much time I play each day which is usually 2+ I need skates that are comfortable yet durable. im going to a prep school and i wont be working to get new skates after one year so durability and quality is what im looking for.

what is everyone's pro's and con's with these skates?

Well you listed it already for one95's, as far as grafs-they are heavier, yet durable, blade is smaller, you give up skating ability for agility. as for the 9k's, ive heard people dont like the pump, but u dont have to use it, blade is pretty good on it, overall solid skate, however if you can adjust to the heavier skate i would go with the grafs.

Don't go by a popularity vote where the electorate is GBBS members. Try on the skates on your short list and let your feet vote.

Grafs!!! I'm definitely getting those as I feel the blade on my XXXs is ridiculously long!

As timber said if you have access to trying the skates on you want to do that, really you should do that with everything you get. (Wish there was a hockeyshop near me that carried goalie stuff)
