Dear Modsquadhockey community, I am unfamiliar with the proper way to ask a question here, and please excuse me if I did it wrong. I am looking for a replacement for my bauer apx skates. In apx, I like the stiffness and the responsiveness (due to the minimal padding), although apx is very low on instep volume (my arch is bulging out of the laced skate). I did order the 2x pro and thinking about trying CCM super tacks. Could anyone suggest me other options to check? Kind regards -
Hey everyone. So my brother is getting some new skates. He’s currently in Bauer Vapor X:30 (from 2009) in size 7.5EE. He’s looking at the 2017 Vapor 1X, but given that they’re on clearance, he can only get them online, thus he won’t be able to try them on first. Should he get the same size (7.5EE) or has there been any change in Vapor widths in the time between 2009 and 2017? My assumption is that it’s the same but just want to be sure before he places an order. Thanks a lot!

I've been wondering a lot lately about what is meant by getting a skate that is a 'performance fit.' My reading, probably deeply mistaken, was that it meant suffering a little with a boot you can barely cram your foot into at first because eventually it will be perfect as the boot breaks in, allowing the feet and their boots to settle into the optimum balance between performance and comfort. I've been trying different sizes, from my previous size which felt pretty roomy, to a full size down. I'm just not seeing my notion of performance fit being realized by this smaller-is-better experiment, and after failing to find a clear discussion of it via search I thought, why not ask the brass on here. So what exactly is 'performance fit?'
