Try buttons, or just laces with holes.

Have you had the CCM scanner scan your foot by chance to see which family you'd be and size? You really just need to set aside some time and go into Pure and try some on. Hopefully they stock a 12.

Supreme is a shallower boot whereas the Vapor has more volume.

Today I went out with my brand new Bauer's. Note that I usually play with a 3 degree pitch as I like to be on my toes. I wanted to try what a stock skate blade would feel like so I left them in.... turns out it was horrible for me as I am too far on my heels. Fortunately, I had extra steel with me that has forward pitch so I swapped in at the rink. I felt pretty good until i got a bit too confident even though I wasn't quite used to the boot and ended up eating $hit. Now mind you I am like every player on here who has played 25+ years, an absolute beast on skates, and am in the international beer league hall of fame. However, I was humbled by new skates. Guess I am not Crosby after all. I will go back to icing my elbow now. Damn it hurts.

Thanks! Interesting. Hmm. I guess the total custom plus is around 1300. 80k's are 699. I'm willing to spend the money to get the best fit to my feet and skating style/preference as possible, but I'm wondering what would be best for my freak feet (very large but almost 2 sizes different). The guy i talked to at pure hockey yesterday thinks I can now order two different size skates. Potentially an 11 on one and 12 on the other (if i can fit the bigger one in a 12, which there's a chance). Or if I'd be better going the full total custom plus. Hmm. May depend if i can squeeze into a 12 or not in the 80k...

Yup, personally wouldn't spend more than150 cdn for a stick. Got my 2 rekker 365 sticks for 100 and 129 cdn on clearance. Very impressed with them and the weight is incredible.
