I had to order these from BC since most places are sold out. The skates arrived today by UPS and I couldn't wait to try them on.

I wore the skates for 10 minutes and had to stop and go buy better laces, they were too stretchy and way too long. I replaced them with stronger waxed black laces, definitely an improvement.

The Bauer skates feel pretty good and they're a far cry from my old inline skates I bought way back in 2000.
