If you want really light skates find a pair of CCM Ultimas insanly light you won't believe it. Strauss has a skate on display.

well the one 90s are lighter than the 40s, so im guessing the one 95s will be even lighter.

The 190's are a B%$%$ to break in. Go with the 40's or look at the Easton S15 Stealths. Stealths are lighter than them all and super soft.
The S15 is the best one year hockey skate you can buy and they are usually about $80-100 cheaper than the 190 or the 40s. The elite player will chew them up in a season.

Don't buy 40's until you at least look at and try on the Easton Stealths S15's. There is no break in to them.
