  1. My 7EE one70's use a 263, as does a 7D Supreme. The half sizes ( 7.5 - 8.5 and so on) is where the EE gets the longer holder. The full sizes share the same holder in both D and EE widths. Thanks for the chart, it does give a good baseline. This skate line is looking like a poster child for buying locally. As much as it never really pays to switch to a new skate without a good hands on fitting, this skate really is a shot in the dark for any internet buyers. Let your LHS sell you this one !
  2. I fit in a 7EE One70, good width, a smidge tight in the length. The sizing on these new CCM's truly needs a good fitting.
  3. Thanks for that info JR. Size 7D CCM U12 is a epro 271 and I am on the small side of that. New CCM with Sppedblade 271 runs 7.5 to 8. Size 7EE One70 is a 263 with a similar fit to U12 length in a 7D.
  4. Is the size difference a full half size, or something less than a half size that you can tell? As the 7 is slightly too small in length and width - the new CCM in a 6.5 would be the same fit if it were exactly a half size smaller. But if it were more like 1/4 size smaller fitting a new CCM at size 7 would be like a 2012 model at 7 1/4 which would be awesome fit for me. So I guess I am asking if a 2013 CCM size 7 fits like a 2012 CCM size 7 1/4 or 7 1/2! I will be trying on at LHS if I decide to buy, but my LHS is only concerned with $$ and gives no advice whatsoever so I need to do homework. Thanks for your help AIREAYE!
  5. I have a pair of U+12's I bought that are a size 7D that are very slightly too short and very slightly too tight. In the opinion of those who have tried on the new skate, would a size 7 in the new skate be just bigger enough to fit me well, too big, or about the same.
  6. Can modern skates like a Bauer Supreme be stretched? I have read both that they can and that they can't, or that the gains are tempoary. That could be a lifesaver if streatching is a viable tool.
  7. Thanks for the feedback ! When I look back at the skates that have given me fits, it definately seems like a combination of things as well. My biggest issue is that my right foot is almost a half size smaller than my left. Add to that skates with a wide heel, and wider mid-foot and pronation results. Supremes are the least problematic for me, likely because of the higher arch, but I get arch pain from them if I tie the laces with any amount of tension. Superfeet do not alliviate that pain. I don't know if a half size difference in length warrants going custom, but I don't really need a skate that stiff, although at this point it would have been cheaper to go straight to custom skates!
  8. Below link to discussion from Genreal Hockey forum: http://www.modsquadhockey.com/forums/index.php?/topic/59207-blade-alignment-to-help-pronation-when-skating/ I was searching on this subject and found this thread in the General forum. It is an issue that affects me, so I thought it might play well in the Equipment thread. My questions after reading the above thread were : What part of skate fit affects or prevents pronation, heel size, arch support, mid-foot width of boot, boot length, or other? Watching the video of the LHS skate tech shim only one side of the holder, does that have any long term affects on the holders durability?
  9. Bringing this thread back to life rather than starting a new one I have been looking for new skates, and in some models have the same issue with the right foor pronating. In a Supreme which is frankly a liitle big on me it is much less noticable, but in a RBK that fits much better my righ foot pronates much more. Now my right foot is about a pencil width shorter, and lately the skates I have been trying on are fit to my longer foot. My question here is what aspect of boot fit amplifies this issue? Is it purely the arch support of the skate? I used to skate in 5K's with superfeet, Sole footbeds, you name it. Nothing really helped. Is it having a narrower heel in the boot, or a narrower mid- foot? Another question is if a shop shims one side of a skate as in the video above, how does that effect the durability of the holder.
  10. So here is a related question. I have skated with players who bought pro returns, or used skates from NHL teams. Is there any sort of database that shows players and their skate sizes, options? Similar to what is out there for players sticks. With all the pro players out there I am sure they cover a wide range of fit options such as one foot shorter, wider, etc. If someone knew of a pro who had a foot that had similar "oddities" to their own they could possibly contact the teams equipment guys and see about buying used skates from that pro.
  11. On page 15 of the catalogue Bauer has its hierarchy of skates across all lines. This may be a dumb question as price point and stiffness usually go hand in hand, but can I gather just that from looking at that page? Is the Totalone stiffer than a X:60, and so on? Reason I ask is because I have been skating in X:40's but am realizing I am not a Vapor heel. The X:40 stiffness was okay for me, and the One75's was maybe a bit too stiff. Just trying to figure out if the One80 is basically a One75 and the One70 is like the One55, or are we throwing out those reference points and starting all over again. How is the middle of the new Supreme lineup shaking out? As always thanks to JR, Darkstar, Chadd and others who share thier access to this info with the rest of us. It is appreciated.
  12. Thanks goaliemanshark! Sounds like the fit stays fairly true to the Synergy line. I once had a pair of Synergy 500's. They were too flabby and also 1/2 size too long but they fit well otherwise. Will be checking out the new Easton EQ's. I like the look as well. Kinda has a NB One55/75/90 look to them. Never cared what a skate looked like as long as it was the right skate for the job, but it's nice to see a modern but slightly more understated look.
  13. I think it was asked higher up in this thread but not answered yet, so I'll ask my version. Can anyone shed some light on how the fit of the EQ skates differ from the Stealth. Are they along the same foot type as the Synergy line was? Also do the newer Stealth skates ( S9 in particular) still fit the same as the older skinned Stealth. The S7 was a fairly shallow skate if I recall, do the newer Stealth skates fit any deeper. Thanks to those on this board who have access to this knowledge !!!
  14. Has the fit of the Stealth line of skates changed? I have a pair of S7 skates that fit well except they are a bit shallow. Is the new line similar in depth to the previous models?
  15. Based on my time in the LHS test fitting new and old Vapors I'd say yes they have a bit more volume. Arches are a bit high, but not the highest I have ever felt. I have never worn a XX but the new Vapors do give me a bit of discomfort in the arch. The D width is not overly narrow. I am a borderline E width and the new Vapors are pretty snug but not painful.
  16. Is the toecap the same on the new Synergy skates? I have 2 pairs of the 800c ( 8 and 8.5) and those toecaps are really poorly designed. They taper in and down.
  17. At least they made the low end skates look better than last years comic book skates.
  18. I was never a big fan of the lace lock either. It didn't do anything a good pair of waxed laces couldn't do. When I had my 5K's I hoped they would break so I could take the skates to a shoe repairman and just have eyelets put in.
  19. Skates- RBK 5K Shins- RBK 4K Pants- Tackla Shoulder- Jofa 8500 Elbow- Koho Gloves- Louisville Bionic Lid- Bauer 5000 w/ white cage Stick- Bauer Vapor2 Lindros curve
  20. Graf 704's had a pretty narrow heel, and had padding that really locked my ankle in place. Not sure if the 703 has the same insides.
