definitely spend some time for the perfect fitting skate
i went to the hockey shop with a buddy for about 4 hours trying at least 4 pairs of skates. got a couple baked and even did laps around the isles with them to make sure they were comfortable. all the skates i tried on prior to the last all hurt though.

the guy who helped me knew his stuff through and through. and at no point did he try to push me. turns out my feet have some weird protrusions, so i had to get about 2 holes punched per skate. it fit like a dream afterwards. i also lucked out as i got one95's at half price and they were the boots that could hold the punch according to him.

i spent about 1k bearing in mind that my skates were half price. everything else was just off hockeymonkey and ebay. my sticks are high ends from guys on RS and craigslist
