I’ve had Vapor 30’s for about 3-4 years and they are finally starting to fall apart. I’ve already had the holders and steel replaced about a year ago. So I think I’m finally at the point of getting new skates. I skate 3-7x a week (I play both offense and defense) so I’m looking for something comfortable and durable, which I think both skates should be. I was just wondering if anyone here has either the Vapor 40’s or Nike/Bauer Supreme One95’s and what they think of the skates. Bauer Vapor 40’s ![http://us.st12.yimg.com/us.st.yimg.com/I/hockeymonkey_2026_3314312](http://us.st12.yimg.com/us.st.yimg.com/I/hockeymonkey_2026_3314312) Nike/Bauer Supreme One95’s ![http://us.st12.yimg.com/us.st.yimg.com/I/hockeymonkey_2026_86646884](http://us.st12.yimg.com/us.st.yimg.com/I/hockeymonkey_2026_86646884) ---

i just picked up a pair of one95’s and they are easily the best skates ive used. I’ve only used them about 10 times now, but they feel formed already and from what i have read/seen are very durable. the only downside was the cost, but i’m sure you already know that if these are your options. ---

always been a vapor guy… but I haven’t bought skates in 2 years or so… so my opinion may be slightly outdated. However, A few guys on my team have the new 40’s and they love them. ---

I have one90’s and love them. I tried on vapor xxxx’s and they weren’t very comfortable. also they have a very wide mid and forefoot, as well as a wide heel. I prefer the one95’s but the heel in the one95 is wider than the heel of the one90 so I went with the one90’s. btw whatever you decide on let me know, I can get them for you for even cheaper than hockeymonkey. Also; anyone in this thread want to come to my skate and shoots? every wednesday 10:30pm at north buffalo on Tacoma. Hour and a half, ten bucks. Could use some guys. ---
