Great skates don't have to hurt your feet or wallet

It was first time purchasing items on Hockey Monkey. I looked and looked and looked for a pair of skates. My first new skate purchase. I was looking at Bauer and CCM leaning towards CCM because of the width. I then came across Hockey Monkey and they had a nice sale going on all skates but they had a super nice sale going on with their TRUE brand skates. 50 percent off. I read Hockey monkeys description and video tutorials, I researched them elsewhere, watched more videos and came to the conclusion that they are second to none for wide feet. I pulled the trigger and got the HZDRUS 9X skates in a 10W after downloading the TRUE size app and 3D scanning my foot with my phone. Honkey Monkey was the only store I found that had the 10W size for these skates. I paid 411.00 after tax plus I paid an extra 50 dollars to get them next day. They were on the doorstep when I got home from work. They were packed up very nice. The skates fit like a glove. 10000 percent better than my Bauer skates I had even with the 50 dollar insoles I bought for them. I took them to open skate and holy shit what a difference. I was able to skate for 2 hours with just a little discomfort from being brand new. The Bauer's I could go for about 15 minutes before I had to stop and take weight off my feet for 10 min and then skate for another 15 and repeat. The next day we did a player vs parents game and I played goalie in them. No issues at all.
