Being a Hockey Parent

[Ahbroody]

Bought skates for the kid. Hes hitting that point where I will likely be buying skates more then once a year because of growth.

Took a huge gamble and went with these.

Got them in EE(wide for any nn hockey person reading) which I was amazed they made in Youth size 12. I am concearned about the arch in the Bauers as he has no arch like dad. That said many people have reported they were able to get kids who wore Reeboks to wear these. This model the one 100 is actually heat moldable for youths and can allegedly accomodate a high instep. Was going to go with Reeboks but these were cheap as they are 2 years old now so everyone is blowing them out. If they dobt fit I will return and wait till next month when the new Reebok boots release at the middle of the month. Paid less then 70 shipped figured wortg a shot

Have you looked into any area store that may have a leasing program? That's what I did when my kid started needing more than one pair a year.
