Rebels Ice hockey 0 Report post Posted July 25, 2006 Im currently skating on Vector 6.0's, and starting to get very frustrated. They are about a 1.2 size too big, and also to wide for my feet. I find that reciently they have really been affecting my skating, it seems that i cant "push" them as hard as I used to. The main problem with the skate is that it is too wide for my foot, and on top of that, my right foot is more narrow then my left. My right skate feels as if its cocked to the inside, and it really is affecting my turns. I have tried differnt footbeds, multiple footbeds, tying the skates differnt ways, thicker socks, checked the mounting of the holders, but nothing i do seems to fix the problem. A few days ago I tried on a pair of Vapor XXs (did not skate in them) and the left skate felt great, however the right skate still seemed to have the problem. So my questions are.....1) Is there anyway to fix this problem?2)Is it possible to custom order two differnt width Vapor XX skates? (I work at a rink and Im pretty good friends with the pro shop manager, so custom ordering shouldnt be too much of a problem.)3) About how long does it take for a custom skate order to come in? (Im leaving for college August 19th, and I would really like the skates before then.)Thanks in advance-Mark Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Drury23 0 Report post Posted July 26, 2006 Go to ur local hockey shop and get new vectors. CCM E (regular) width is the same as the Bauer D Width. So, try em on and possibly work out a deal to get one Narrow Skate and one Regular. That way, it will practically be like having an extra narrow and a narrow skate. Hope I helped.

Project_2501 0 Report post Posted July 26, 2006 Wow, yeah. CCM's E is wide. D is, like every other skate, their standard width.Another option would be getting D-width skates, if they fit the smaller foot, and stretching one of them to fit the other, that is, unless you need to stretch a lot of space.
