Make sure if you want to protect your ankles from the "mako bumps" that you get some neoprene ankle support sleeves. The neoprene ones work great. Elastic support braces, not so much.
That should be fine. My feet sit about the same in there. As long as you aren't tightening them so much that you cut off circulation you should be fine.
Played my first game on my mako's. I am sure glad I baked them, haha I need to push out the arches on them though, it's a bit too snug and causing pressure on my arches. all in all though I am loving the skates. It feels effortless to push off and get up to speed with these skates. Only thing I need to work on is my backwards skating and learn where the edges are again.
My Mako's are waiting at home and i'm stuck at work for another hour! :| Got to try on a pair of the mako M8's though and they fit like a glove. Looking forward to trying on the mako's :)
Well, I just ordered a pair for myself from hockeymonkey, hopefully they'll be the right size when I get them. I wear a 10d in reebok, so hopefully 10d in the easton mako's will be just right after baking!
