they just marked the missions way down as i hoped they would to make room for the new skates, but curious if anyone has good experience with the tours since not many places carry them local
tours , i have them my cousin has them and jeff (evilsrt) has them, we have no complaints ( not that EXACT model, but still)
i always get as light as skate possible with a stiff boot. I didn’t see any weights listed, so I can’t pick one lol
missions!!have experienced many brands n like missions the best!
Missions are awesome, still have a pair that’s like 4 years old and solid. I’d go with them cuz that’s what they’re known for, roller hockey equipment. And they’re cheaper so you’re savin some $$.
I’ve had both, and absolutely love Tour. It’s hard to get service, or help locally if you have any problems. The Wicked 3’s frekin’ rock. You absolutely positively have to have them baked, but once they are broken in, sha zam.
Mission FTW

tour skates r great but i have to say mission due to the better wheels and bearing on this model.
the tour skate is very, very light. it is also very stiff. a little too stiff for what i use them for, but i like them a lot.
stay away from easton. I went through two pairs of eastons in less than a week. I replaced them with a pair of missions and lasted 5 years + and still going strong.

i retract my previous statement…i was just looking at skates on inline warehouse and mission has a whole new line out…boss, assasin, solider. lieutenant,dsx,csx,bsx… the boss ones are nasty looking all white and green. but for an amazing $549…soliders look good too.

i have a set of Tour carbon fiber 06 model and i love them , light and comfy
but the tours come with the extra normal size set of bearings/spacers incase you dont wanna hunt down micro hub wheels, , I say tours not only for that reason that i know alot of guys who own their skates and they all love them alot and never really had any issues with them
never liked tours, always had good luck with mission.
reply to my pm about ice!
i was a big fan of the tours giving you the extra set of abec 9’s, but i LOVED the mission 3’s with the carbon inserts when i tried them on at great skate, plus micro swiss bearings rock. on the other hand, i love the tours being sized with all 80mm wheels instead of the 80/76 on the missions
shrug, we’ll see what ends up looking the best once i get bonus check next week :tspry:
