Hello. I have a used pare of ccm u+ 12 skates, size 10,5 E. They have been used for 5 months and baked/ molded once. When I sit and put them on it feels tight but good, when I stand it is ok also. But after 5 minutes of skating outside of my feet starts to hurt. Then I loose the laces and it helps but the skates start to wobble so you cant skate like that. I realize that my feet get flattened when skating other then sitting or just standing. I have 29,7 cm length, 11 cm width, low/ flat feet, low- middle instep. I have NOT baked them for my feet. Will baking eliminate the problem in the area or not? Do I have to stand in them during the baking process? Or may be these skates are not just for me?

I have been having the damnest time trying to get fitted for skates. I am on my third pair and so far, nothing seems to fit well. I don't get, and I know you are tired of hearing about this, how a new skate is supposed to feel? I have heard uncomfortable until broken in, I have heard a bit of pain until broken in and I have heard, tight but fits great. I was measured at a size 8 and was looking at some Vapors. I tried on a pair of X3.0 but wanted the 4.0s. Orderd those and while the toe is fine, and the heel is fine, the mid-foot (on the outside) leaves a bit of an indentation in my foot after I wear them around the house for a few minutes. I plan on baking them at some point but I don't know if that is how a skate should fit pre-bake or not. Someone told me to look at Supremes but I tried on a One60 and the ankle wasn't comfy. Coudn't get past that. Easton EQ30s seem okay but I read here about the problems with the EQ line and how there was quality control issues. I plan on having these skates for a while so is that a big deal? thoughts from the peanut gallery. We don't have a skate shop here in town with a lot of options. When I go to either ST. Louis or Chicago, I can check out a store there but where I live, there isn't much so we are stuck doing mail order for the most part. The local shop is big into CCM but I was told those run narrow. Help from an experienced person. My brief skating bio. On the ice four times or so a week. One for a public skate with my kids, one with my beer league team and twice as coach of my son's mini-mite team (he's six). There, I am not a stud player but a hack who is trying to learn the game later in life. Thoughts. Andy
