excellent traction

Traction on ice incredible in this shoe. Certainly fits big, I am ladies 8, have a size 5 Hagen and it is still roomy. Very light and confortable. Can stop and turn as if in a running shoe on road.

Best grip I've ever had. Run just a bit large so be aware of that.

LOVE the Hagan H-5 shoe! No sliding first wearing out of box! They are incredibe! They run about a half size bigger than Acacia shoes I've worn before, so if you are inbetween sizes, go down a size instead of up.

pretty much seems like you have way to much control, this will be a game changer

It’ll change your game

unreal traction , shoe size does run large in my opinion

These shoes are a game changer, especially on slick surfaces. I've worn them on the NSC (Blaine) rinks, at Augsburg, and on the slickest of them all: in Syracuse 2020 Can-Am. At Blaine, I could run with 20 year old college dudes that didn't have them (I am a 40 year old woman), at Augsburg the difference was slight as that rink isn't as slick, but they still gave me an edge, and in Syracuse, I went from being one of the faster women on the ice, to the fastest (only one opposing player had them). Had my entire team had them, our final game would not have gone to OT, it would of been won in regulation. I scored 7, maybe 8 goals in this tourney, 6 of them were because I was able to get there first, while others slid around, desperately trying to find traction. I'd like to say they didn't matter, as it is incredibly humbling to take away from a well-played tourney and deny my own skill set, but the truth is: they matter, and they matter in a huge way. No one can say for sure if the game result, or my stats would have been different if were in my standard D-Gels, but after 15 years of playing in top-of-the-line-always-in-perfect-condition-D-Gels (I buy 3 pairs of those a year, on average). I'd be lying if I said, this shoe didn't matter at all. Time to sell the D-Gel stock, by nationals, anyone not in these is left behind. And what’s more, we should all just start renting gym floors (which are much cheaper) instead of ice rinks, and play on that surface with a ball that freely rolls, because these shoes will forever change the game, and not for the good. I wonder how they will hold up. I’ve been in them 8 times, and they still feel good, so more on that to come. They also stretch out. I wore a 7 in Dgels, and a 6 is most comfortable in this shoe, after a wear or two. They also took me about 3 games to get used to them, as they are different. Some speculate people will blow out knees with them, I could agree at tacky rinks (Augsburg) but fully disagree on slicker surfaces. (I should probably knock on wood, I’d like to play for a few more years).
