Prof. M, I wear an 8.5 shoe too and went with size 7 Nike Ignites circa 2002ish. Still very comfortable and durable, but I got a skinny foot so the fit may be specific. Used the Bauer Supreme 3000 in the past and was pretty happy. Bought them used from Pure Hockey, my sophomore year of high school because my foot seemed to be growing and I couldn't afford to buy $200 skates every year. As far as I know Bauer still makes skates and sell them under the Bauer/Nike name.

I hear you guys with the competitive skating. I'm only 4 years out of playing high school hockey, and I'm still a college athlete but man is skating tough. Can't believe I used to skate everyday for multiple hours.
