I can't stop laughing

Fun weekend at the Saratoga Pond Hockey Classic. The ice was crap, and we went 1-2 we could have easily won all of the games except we drank too much. I'm in the middle white 4500 TPS gloves

Getting to sit on the bench again with Asian greatness, stevelkneivel... in a game at Joe Louis Arena. We kinda sucked and narrowly lost, but that's as sweet as it fuckin gets.

Well it is indeed different - though not that much. You won't believe how different the fit even within the Vapor line is from top-model line from season to season. So from X60 (former top-model) for example to APX or from that to 1X. I have a wider forefoot and and need quite some volume in the boot. Having used Bauer / Vapor skates the last few years (starting from X60) and now switching back to CCM was a good decision. Now I am in the SuperTacks since June and will never change back :-) Have to say that especially the 1X was the best Bauer skates i have been using (and was able to compare 4 different top of the line models X60/APX/APX2/1X) over the years ... the SuperTacks just provide the perfect fit (which is probably due to the new 360 degree complete moldable technology).

I did for a while at first, just too tight. I still get it occasionally if I tie them too tight by accident. Usually, most of the eyelets are barely snug, let alone tight. If that's not your issue, perhaps a second bake with much looser lacing might help?

I am a little surprised that the switch to the SuperTacks was so smooth because aren't they for a different foot profile than the 1X? Were you always in Vapors? How long have you been in the Tacks?

Having used top of the line Bauer skates for many years, switching from 1X to SuperTacks was a smooth transition. I instantly felt the improvements - better agility, and seamless fit. Regarding stiffnes SuperTacks provide all the great support you demand from a stiff skate though on the other hand are excellently balanced in a way they provide more agility / flexibility to me without sacrificing any lack in support, durability etc.
