I've been skating mission skates all my life. Just recently I tried the tour fishbones cause they were hella cheap. Thinking new skates are always better I tried skating with them and I totally sucked for a whole season. I tried my old mission skates today and I was doing great. My question was that there seems to be less of a forward lean on the tour fishbones I had and was wondering are all the tours like this? So I sold my fishbones to my friend and plan on buying some tour 962, I'm wondering whoever has had any experience with tours, are all the forward lean on the skates the same? or Is it just the fishbones? Thanks

The "lie" of the footbed is not standard, even within the same line, of different skate models...experimentation, and your personal level of "ankle flexion," determines the best lie for you...it's all preference...
