I use these (the first ones) and they are great. Buy them. But, the Labeda Milenium wheels are super squishy at 78a. Too squishy. And, replace the weak, stretchy cotton laces with Elite waxed hockey laces. That's all folks!

Hello Alkali hockey guys!! I've been using a pair of Alkali CA5's for several years, love them, had some issues with the axles, you guys sent me new axles no charge!!! I believe that I'm about ready to get a new pair of skates now. I have a chance to buy a brand new pair of size 11 CA5's senior skates exactly the same model and size as I currently have for $158.90. I also have a chance to purchase a brand new pair of size 10 Visium 2 for $160, I don't know if the new model Visium 2's are better than the CA5's or not, or if size 10 Visium 2's would fit me like the size 11 CA5's do? Any suggestion's? Thank you for your insight!! Alkali roller hockey skates are great!

Hey ice warehouse I have a question and this is about hockey sticks. I have a Bauer x800 with the p28/eichel curve but when I shoot I always miss the net. What I mean is i always am shooting too high and idk what I’m doing wrong but is it the curve too, am I using the wrong curve for me because I’m a center and I like to have the puck and on my stick and have more control and that’s why I picked the eichel curve maybe I’m shooting wrong or something because when I try to shoot top corners I miss the net I shoot to high. So if someone or ice warehouse could help me that would be great

Is there a big difference skating between using a high low system and a system where all wheels are the same size?

[kiwicasper]

How stiff are they? and the wheels don't look like they sit into the boot?

Hi there, I currently have a pair of the Alkali rpd max which i paid around £400 for, are the Alkali RPD Visium 2 now the new top of the range skates but at a significantly lower price or do alkali plan on producing a new line of max with a higher price point sometime soon?
