Honestly, because I’m a gear whore and like new shit 
But really, I converted a pair of low end Vapor’s to inline skates and love them. I had those Flexlites and they just fit a bit different, obviously, than the Vapors. I took the skates down to KO a couple of nights ago and when the holder broke it took a little bit of the heal part of the skate with it, so it would have required a little bit of reworking.
So, I figured screw it, It’d be nice to have the same boot for both roller and ice and I got a really really good deal on these skates so I figured I’d just take the jump.
