    If it fits well everywhere else then a Supreme EE isn't going to help, you will be getting a wider heel and forefoot for the skate of a little bit of volume. Your issues are not uncommon, it's a foot shape that retail boots don't cover, extra volume in the skate. If you want to stay in these then make your own eyelet extenders, then you can lace the boots up as tight as you like without any pain. It's not hard, have a look at these https://i.imgur.com/vzYCq5L.jpg as to what individual extenders look like, or you can make them as a 2 or 3 eyelet or however many you like. Message me if you want more info and what you need to do this. Or buy Reebok lacelocks, they can still be found on eBay and in shops.

    I tend to agree with this as well. My skates (it took awhile to find a really good fit) are tied "snug" up to about the 3rd or 4th eyelet from the top and then a bit more tension to the top to pull the sides of the skate around my ankle I'd define "snug" as just a bit more tension once the lace is laying flat on the boot without any wrinkles or excess length between the eyelets. There isn't any "slop" or negative space between my foot and the upper of the boot. I'll add, I also don't wear "normal" "modern" skates by today's standards. I'm in a pair of Graf 535 wides. Which compared to most skates these days are low cut noodles made from antiquated materials. But they fit my feet like a glove.

    I wear supreme skates and my laces pretty much up the entire skate I just take the slack out of them and then at the last two eyelets I pull them tighter I don't crank on them loop them once flex my foot forward so I can get some forward flex and then finish tying them off. On a scale of loose to cranked my skate lacing would be snug. With a proper fitting skate you shouldn't have to crank down on the laces at all.

    Did they really need to commission a study about how the eye sees color? That info is out there. I just tend to think that the more long-winded an explanation is, the more I start to question the value prop.

    Unless you can step on the Nexus ADVs blade and transform it from a PM9 to a Crazy Ovy mid-shift I ain’t interested.

    I disagree. A 500g stick is far from heavy, it's just heavier than a 400g stick. Balance is just as important as weight. Grab a 20lb sledgehammer and simulate stick handling, then turn it around and try again. Tell me balance point doesn't matter. It's an extreme example, but illustrates my point quite well. An extremely light stick might work best for you, but for others like myself, there is a point where a stick becomes too light. Personally, I have found that the True A5.2 and Nexus 1000 have felt much lighter than the actually are because of how well balanced they are. On the flip side, my QX3 feels as heavy to me as a Supreme One.7, which is almost 100g heavier. The QX3 is not heavy, but it feels heavy when I use it because the balance point is too low for my liking.

    Decided to pick up a pair I found on ebay that was the exact color I wanted. These are insanely comfortable, I get it now.
