Go to the store and try a few brands on. Different brands hae differnet fits, try a few. Then go online and look at the old sale models.

If you're on that much, you're going to want a better pair of skates then what 210 will buy you. If you're willing to go to 300, you can get Easton's old 600 dollar boot.

If you can spend 230, you can get the model below it. http://hockeymonkey.com/easton-hssynergy...

Sizes on both are limited...

If you want a new boot, 210 will buy you a Stealth S7- which is not even a one piece composite.

In order to get a decent pair you need to go up to about 270-300 minimum.

If you really need to spend below 210, and that's absolute, the old lines again work best. Synergy 800 and 900 are both one piece boots and pretty decent, but not amazing.

Answer 4

i just picked up the one75s (formerly the one90) and love them. i would go for graf if you want a quality skate that will last you a long time, but it seems like your feet will still grow. one skate company i would stay away from though is easton. the easton skates fall apart very fast and are way overpriced for the quality of the skate.

if you're looking for a decent affordable skate. go to a good local store and get fitted for a bunch of pairs. then look online for an older model skate from that company thats top of the line, its your best bet to getting a good skate for a cheap price.

Answer 5

I just got these and love them.  They took a little while to break in due to the stiff boot but now fit very nicely.
