What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)
PROS:
- Just started playing hockey and these skates are perfect for me. They're comfortable, supportive, and affordable. I haven't had any problems learning to skate in them, and they seem pretty durable so far.
- I have wider feet and these skates fit great. The ankle support feels good and they don't pinch anywhere. The break-in period wasn't too bad either..
- Sure, these aren't top-of-the-line skates, but for a recreational player like me, they work just fine. They offer decent ankle support and a good blade for basic skating and maneuvering.
CONS:
- These skates felt a bit too soft for me. I couldn't get a very powerful push-off and I felt like I was losing some energy transfer. If you're a more powerful skater, you might want to look for a stiffer boot.
- Once I started working on more advanced skating drills, I felt like these skates didn't offer enough ankle support. For basic skating, they're fine.
- The quality of the materials seems a bit on the cheaper side. I'm worried about how long these skates will last, especially with regular use.
There is no quick-release mechanism for the metal runners or blades, which makes the 140 a good skate for beginners or skaters who skate less often and don't want to pay too much but still want a quality skate. The 140 will last only a few years, but it’s an excellent introductory skate in the Supreme line, allowing you to get a feel for it. Do you like the Supreme? Do you like a bit of extra power or do you want to try something different?
