What is a good brand for roller blades?

Which pair of inline roller hockey skates are the most comfortable?

• My son just started playing in-line roller hockey. He said his skates hurt really bad and couldnt skate anymore they were so bad. What is the most comfortable pair of of skates that I can get him? These skates are CCM brand. He ends up putting his regular street roller blades on that has all the nice cushioning in it. Why don't hockey skates have all that nice cushioning in it?

• Answer:

  comfort depends on the shape of your foot. try a nike bauer vapor skate, they fit a little wider, like their ice hockey boots. might be better for your son. as for the cushioning question, padding takes away from stride power. if you are pushing off, and the padding compresses, a lot of power will go into compressing the padding, instead of being transferred to the ground. may not be as comfortable, but performs way better.
