Ice Hockey Skates Wide
ice hockey skates – fitting?
I just bought some new skates off the internet, they are X40s and i live in the UK so i didn’t get chance to try them on before buying and im now paranoid if they fit or not. it feels fine every where apart from my toes feel quite free, when i lift or curl them up they just brush the sides, are they supposed to be like this? keep in mind, this was when i was sitting down, their was less movement when i stood up and did the same thing.
im a size 9 shoe and a 7.5EE skate (thats what i have anyway). my toe is only about 5-6mm from the end when laced up. my feet are quite wide, specifically the outside, it goes out and then comes back in just before my little toe a bit like a bracket ) but obviously not at a curve like that
It takes about 4 or 5 hours of ice time to get a good feel for the skates. Make sure they are sharpened and keep the blades wiped clean after with a rag.
If you have 5-6mm of space then you should be fine. Don’t believe the people who stick a finger in the back (everyone’s fingers are different).
Measure your foot with a measuring tape. Let’s say its 12 inches. Then take the tape and measure inside the boot. If its 12.25 inches you should be fine.
Other than that, you get what you pay for. In Canada, a $100(Cdn) pair of skates are fine for public skating but for hockey you need to spend about $250(Cdn) to play regular competitive hockey.
Bauer Vapor is a typical good brand but Easton Synergy or CCM tacks are good too.
A used skate will fit best but just doesn’t look as clean and new. If you find a good a pair of used skates, you can’t go wrong for the price you pay.
