Comments:Just like the other reviewer my big toes rub the toe cap. Luckily I have huge calouses from my old skates there or I would get blisters. My feet are really narrow too and the skates are the perfect size so my toes shouldnt rub. The toe cap just needs to be wider. Also, I get "lace bite" in these. My old missions had a more rigid tongue that would prevent lace bite. I'm pretty sure mission uses the same tongue on all their skates though? I like to lace my skates up as tight as possible...i may have to look into the lace bite pads sold on IW

Comments:The Assassins are a great marginal value: they give you some great top end features in the boot and chasis, but aren't out-of-this-world expensive. I am, however, going to move on to another skate for one important reason: my big feet. I have a wide foot at my toes, but a narrower foot the rest of the way back. I thought I could get away with wearing Missions (a skate that is known for its narrower fit). I was wrong. And, as a result, I now have a perma-blister on the inside of both of my big toes, and have some soreness throughout my foot after each game. I've only stuck with the skates for the last 3-4 months because, other than the awkward fit in the toe area (they're fine everywhere else), the skates are great. They're light, sturdy, and mobile. If you are blessed with normal feet, these are, therefore, a great buy. But, if you are a fellow mongoloid and have wider feet, stay away.
