I tried to get into some shinney last year on a pair of used skates and the pain just never went away. It got to the point that i just stopped going all together even though i really wanted to get back into hocke. About four days ago i went and got a pair of Bauer Vapor X60s for $400 ( i think i got a bit of a deal ) and i've skated 3-4 hours every day since i got them. Theres still a little bit of pain i guess, but in comparison to the old used grafs i had it feels like im skating on clouds.
Id advise my friends to go for a new pair and spend a little bit more. They should last you for quite some time if you're not going all that often.
