According to Seth who's got some, Pro Series are a little less breathable than torches (at least they were when he reviewed them after a week or two, they may get better with time but you'd have to ask Seth about that  ), so your feet would be a little hotter when skating. From what I can tell from pics, the Pro's have a diff lacing holes (eyelets instead of lugs) meaning they could show off fat/flat laces better. Also the Pro's have a diff Heelys logo (with a lightning bolt) through it, on the shoe and the wheels. The black pro's are closer in colors to the old 9116 torch or 9093 evo, but the grey/white red pro's have a snazzy red grindplate, but they aren't even available in europe yet so dunno if they'll be in the US soon or what. |

| theyre less breathable and the toe gets messed up faster since it isnt mesh, it gets these cresases from pushing off. the grindplate is also more square. |

if they are that sounds like a kinda stupid decision by the heelys company
i would like the wheels as far back as possible on vert so having wheels more forward than torches would not be my idea of a pro heely |

| They defintely have a different feel to them but im so used to switching from the new wheel location to the old farther back one that im not quiet sure and dont have the time to sit and take measurements. i like it wherever it is, too far back would be tiring because youd have to lift up your whole toe, vorik. what i forgot to mention is that theyre also VERY stiff |

Yes, the bigger/wider the wheel, the easier it is to go over cracks, although as you have seen there are tricks to make cracks easier to cross with any wheel.  |
