Unfortunately, I couldnt get boss se, I tried the thor ex1 and didn't quite like it. But how is EX1 compared to T8 and 9k. which one do you recommend?
Is it worth the money moving from T8 to T9 for that extra stiffness and the magnesium chassis? and is T8 worth the Money or should I downgrade to T7 or T6?
Is it worth the jump from 9k to 11k, or is 7k already good enough?
I heard reebok is more comfortable and not as stiff as Mission, but mission offers higher specs, and better support.
Hi IW, thinking of getting either Tour Thor EX1 or Mission Boss SE. which one do you think is better? If I am size 8.5-9 on shoe size, what would be my skate size for Tour and Mission respectively?
These are the best pair of skates i've ever owned, and the wheels in terms of both durability and grip are also the best i have ever had the privilege of using, all a little pricey though!
@99pittsburghpenguins The wheels are designed more for indoor use. I think you could use them on a smooth outdoor rink if you weigh between 130 and 155 lbs.
@icehockeywarehouse you suggest me to order the Labeda Asphalt wheels that can be used with micro bearings or the standard Labeda Asphalt in order to use this additional set of wheels with the (extra) standard bearings provided with the skates? Could it be useful to preserve a little more the microbearings? Of course I would order them from inlinewarehouse :)
hey IW im a larger player at 6'4" and 230lbs and a very hard and agressive play and have been looking into the ex1 an zx9 now im wondering on the durability on tour as far as the boots breaking since that has been my prior/current prob ...what would you suggest ...thanks
Hi I cant decide between the Tour Thor EX1 & the Mission Axiom T9.I have used an Old pair of CCM'S for years now but want to get the best Inline hockey skate I can . Could you tell me of any massive differences between the two and in your opinion which is the better skate??
@Ozziology Both are great skates. There certainly are differences, but nothing that makes me say one is that much better than the other. The Thor skates do have the Addiction wheels on them, which are pretty much the best wheels on the market (in my opinion). Personally I would probably go with the Thor because Tour skates run a bit wider than Mission, so the usually fit me better.
@icehockeywarehouse Thankyou. I was hoping you would say that. One more thing, do you know how often Tour bring out a new hockey skate? and when they might be likely to do so?? Just wondering if its worth waiting to see what they have up their sleeve before forking out?. Thanks again
@Ozziology Tour is actually one of the harder brands to know when exactly they will be coming out with a new line. They updated their line this year so I think it will be a little while before they do it again, but don't know for sure.
tyson i am caught between the EX 1's and the RBK 10k's. ive tried both of them on and they fit about the same. which do you recommend for the most speed or which is your personal preference?
@1661aaron Personal preference I would probably go with the 10K skates. But if speed is the most important thing I would probably recommend the Tours because of the hum'er frame.

@indopoptart I really like the EX1. Tour's usually fit my foot great. Your Tour size would be a 7.5-8 and your Mission size would be a 7-7.5.

@FiloG1987 Yeah that might now be a bad idea. Just depends on how well you stay on top of cleaning your bearings.

@rvierregger I would probably go with the EX1 because you will be getting a stiffer boot, which should hold up better.
