The vapors will be stiffer, so they won't feel good the first few times you wear them but they are a better performing skate. By the way, how much are the XXV's going for at Sportchek? and which websites have deals on the X:30's? It might be time for me to replace my XIV's
Sportchek has the XXV for $250. Regular price on them was $299.

Hockey Monkey has the X:30's on for $179. If you get creative with google, you can find a discount code for another 10% off.

I think those will be the route I go but want to confirm the X:30 is the replacement for the XXV. The XXV's I tried on at Sport Chek were actually quite comfortable, though I didn't try the Supreme line.

Tried the Reebok 8k's, and they just didn't feel right.
