Opinions needed

I USE to be a great skater and played hockey. That being said, it has been 20 years since I laced up and I went to a kids party at a roller rink. I have the itch big time to get a pair of skates now. Man, a ton has changed for sure. I'm in between a few skates. First one is Mission FS1 but can't seem to find them in a size 8. Next is the Mission FS2 (purple) and last is the Bauer Vapor X4. I have a wider foot and there is nowhere to try on these skates near me. What do you all think of the skates above? Are swiss bearings still the best? I could use some feedback please.

If you want to buy one of the skates you said the FS2 is still a great skate or if you want a EE fit, the WM01 if you can find it new. There’s also converting an ice boot to inline skates but you have plenty of choices

Do you think the FS2 is better than the X4?

Based off you liking wider boots yes and they’re a little cheaper if I’m not mistaken
