Help with buying ice hockey skates?

I'm currently in search of a pare of hockey skates and I'm looking to see: what is the difference from the Supreme 30 to the Supreme 50.?

Never heard of either model; with Bauer/Nike, typically, their lower-end models will have lower numbers. The Supreme is an older model, a namesake from the Bauer days.





Their One 90/One 95 models are their current "pro" models.





The lower-end models will, typically, be heavier than your high-end skates, have cheaper materials, and may not be as supportive, and will most likely have material that breaks down quicker. Other differences could include liners, lace bite protection, and weight of the rocker.





Without knowing what you're using the skate for (are you just planning on going to open skates/free skates without wanting to use rentals, or are you playing league hockey), it would be hard to say either model is ideal.





My usual suggestion is this- you need to try both on, and go by which one feels better on your foot. Ask anyone who plays- if your skates are uncomfortable and not supportive, you will be miserable. If you're thinking about your feet, you won't be able to play at your best. If you're playing no-check hockey you may not necessarily need the top-end shoulder pads/elbow pads, but spend money on good skates.
