Sportchek has them too, just not sure if they have staff knowledgeable enough to know what temp. and how long to bake for.

Comfort will be the ultimate factor for me to stick with lessons. Ice skating never stuck cause I hated my skates, yet I love my K2 rollerblades. The soft boot is sooooooo comfy, would love something similar for skates yet understand I need a hard boot for hockey.
The RBK pump skates sound good cause I usually have to readjust my rollerblades tighter, and a few quick pumps sounds better than re-tieing. Plus I see Sportchek has the 7Ks on sale.

Which ice skates were you using last? Sounds like the rollerblades you were using had too much volume for your feet if you're always having to readjust it.
Don't buy into that Reebok marketing garbage though, try on as many skates in your price range as you can and pick the one that fits best. If you have a more narrow foot you might pick a Bauer line of skate, wider feet maybe CCM or Reebok.
