I started playing hockey again at my local outdoor rink. My old skates are CCM Tacks 651. They were pretty much top of the line when I got them way back in ~1990. One of the blade support is cracked and the "leather" inside is falling apart. New blades would cost 80$.

I'm a big guy, pretty good skater but I'm on a budget. What do you guys think about Pro Return skates? I can get some for 150$ and I believe they have several models in my size and they all seem new.
Example:
Alexander Semin CCM Vector Pro

What the deal with Pro Return skates? Any potential surprises? As long as they fit and are comfy enough I should be ok, right?
