What are some Deep fitting boots?

Recommended Posts

I had skated in CCM tacks up until two years ago when I bought some Vapor 10's, the orginal style. Must be one of the best boots ever made. Anyways I went back to Tacks for my inline hockey and I noticed how much better I like the deep fitting feel of the Vapor 10. On the tacks I felt like half of the top of my foot was not supported. What are some other deep fitting boots?" I imagine the Vapor xxx's have a similar fit to the Vapor 10's. I'm looking for a one or 2 year old skate to convert to roller. Thanks in advance.

Salming's are supposedly a deep fit: http://www.modsquadhockey.com/index.php?showtopic=11845

Fit- I tested the E width and they were more than wide enough for me. In fact I believe Jason posted that when he got the new D with model they were as wide as the old E width model. The left skate was a little tight (length) so I tried to bake it and stretch it a little to fit my foot better. In any case, it's a very comfortable boot. No arch, heel or toecap problems at all. It's also a very deep fitting skate, great for guys like me. 8/10

There's a guy here, Jason (aka SalmingUSA) who was selling these things on the cheap (closeout sale for the 2004 models, I believe). If it interests you at all, you might want to PM him and get the specifics for sizes, availability, cost, etc.

It sounds like we're in the same boat Ogie. Tacks width is great, but perhaps the boot is a bit shallow. I'm probably about 6-12 months away from shopping for new wheels but I'm keeping my ear to the ground.

I understand Rbk skates are wide like Tacks, but fit deeper. Haven't tried them out though -- still too new and flashy for this conservative guy!
