Anyone into hockey or skating using hockey skates? I need a new pair and plan to spend around $400 or so (thanks to Christmas monies!).
What's recommended?

Riding with a live hornet in your mouth is not advised.:eek:
apparently skates (like everything else) are super light. carbon/titanium and all that.
bauer and reebok are the big guns (i think)
lemme know what you find. i need a pair also
I skated in CCM Super Tacks for decades. Discontinued now. Take a look at CCM U+12 skates. They list for $500 but if you search they can be had around $400. Sure you need that much skate?
Bauer Supreme 4000s. Oldies but goodies. No carbon or Ti though.
I had some carbon CCMs (Tacks 952 or something like that) about 10 years ago or so. They were way too stiff for me.
Can't go wrong with Bauer:
Check these out
Yeah, I'm leaning towards this model. They have a slightly larger toe box which will accommodate my broken toes more adequately. Yes, I need this much skate as I plan not to have to buy another pair in my lifetime and, like my Crumpton, I want something that will be durable and well-built.

Bauer XXV basically the same boot as their XX (which was the skate for years) but half as much as their 'higher' models. Fantastic boot. Loose the crappy steel that comes with is and get a decent ls2 set.
did I say +1 for the bauer XXV?
