Are missions good inline skates for hockey?

Are missions good inline skates for hockey?
Mission sells a very good skate. They also offer a good variety of price ranges too; from basic beginner skates to the really nice, super light models. I've had three pairs and have yet to find a problem. You still might want to look into other brands like CCM or Nike-Bauer. If Mission is the brand he uses and likes, than thats fine, but definitely find out what his personal preference is (secretly of course). If you do go with Mission though, make sure you don't skimp out and get the cheapest pair. To the non-player the difference may not be noticable between a $200 pair and $800 pair, but serious players can appreciate every penny.





A good place to shop online is Hockeygiant.com. If you have a play-it-again sports in your area than go there. Your other best bet to find some would be to go the rink he plays at if it has a pro-shop. Most rinks I've played at do, and sell most major brands.

both have some decent selection.





Personally, skate brand is a matter of preference. Lots of people I know love Mission skates, but I could never get over the fact that you had to "bake" them before wearing them.
Reply:Yes they are. The new Syndicate line from Mission is excellent and they have prices that fit eveyones needs.


Peranis on Middlebelt in Livonia has the full line.

Reply:I have a pair of mission inline skates and they are great you should definately get thoses
Reply:If your boyfriend plays ice hockey as well as inline, get him the same skate he wears on the ice, its nice to be familiar with the product your wearing, it makes the break in and transition smoother.





If he only skates inline, mission puts out a good product, i've had three pairs and i've been happy with all of them. The only other advice I would offer is the check what brand his old skates are and ask someone how the sizes run. I've run into this problem in the past, sometimes a 10 in nike doesn't fit the same as a 10 in mission.
