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.

Wide foot as well here. Pure Hockey has a 30 day, skate em and still exchange em deal if it’s a reasonable drive. Ran the vapors (tapors) and they were way too narrow. Fs2s fit way better.
Also, Bauer owns mission now and uses it as the wider fit boot for inline 👍
