Perfect Skate Fit?

[lengas 0]

Is there such a thing as a "perfect" skate fit? I recently got new skates (Bauer 8090) from having old Bauer Air90's that I thought I loved.

My new skates are 7.5D, my old ones are 7.0D. I recently went back to try my old ones and never realized how bad they hurt my toes. The new skates seem to fit better lengthwise (with my toes just brushing the end) but are a bit wider.

How tight do you actually want a skate?

My personal preference is Snug, very snug without pain.

And where did you get 8090's?

HockeyGiant.com. Is there a difference?

It depends on the stiffness of the skate for me, I like my 8090's tight which still have a bit of stiffness left in them but prefer my rollers which feel like putting my feet in jelly need to be loose.

My 8090's get tied once before warmup which gives me cramp so i loosen them abit then I'm all set for the rest of the traing/game.

lengas I'm guessing he just can't find them, they are quiet hard to find now.
