Hey, I just got them in the mail today, and I can confidently say they are much better than my last pair of mission skates,vsi vibes. They are probably the lightest pair of skates, maybe even as light as the wicked lights. Plus they are pretty comfortable, but I hope will be a lot more comfortable when I get them skate baked. I would have put some outdoor wheels on and gone out to skate, but it's snowing like crazy over here
