Hockey DeVoTee 1 Report post Posted February 19, 2007 I'm in the proces of purchasing One90's, but I'm in between a 6.5 & 7.0D.The 7's fit well, but my toes don't touch the toe cap (slightly back.) The 6.5's are tight (not total comfy), but are not painful. My question is how much room do gain after baking & break-in? If you had to fit yourself again would you go tight or the .5 size up? Would a 6.5EE be much wider? LHS doesn't stock anything wider than D widths. Local Hockey Store is small & No Help! I'm currently in 6.5 Nike FL12..... too wide in the heel.Many Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DarkStar50 680 Report post Posted February 20, 2007 Take the footbed out and stand on it. That will tell the tale of exactly how much room you have heel to toe. Your definition of pain, not total comfy is too vague. Exactly where is the pain/discomfort? Have you worn the D width boots in the LHS with the lower laces snug tight or snug loose? The EE gets mighty wide mighty fast. You will also sacrifice heel lock with the EE if your heel is totally locked in on the Ds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dman33 0 Report post Posted February 20, 2007 i had the same problem(they gave me 9 amd 9.5 and i had 9.5 8090's before that) when i tried on the 9 it was a little snug and my toes didnt touch but with the 9.5 they felt better Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hockey DeVoTee 1 Report post Posted February 20, 2007 My toes touch the circumference of the toe cap. Not painful, but light to medium pressure from the base of my small toe around to the first joint of my big toe. With a medium thickness pair of socks too tight to skate in, but I skate barefoot. W/O socks I wore for a half hour in the store w/o feeling like I had to take them off, but I did feel the pressure. This is in the 6.5Laces snug loose... I do like a snug fitting boot. If they made a 6.75 they would be great!Because of the construction of the boot will they loosen-up slightly?? Thanks DarkStar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
t1tan 19 Report post Posted February 20, 2007 If anybody could help me that'd be great.My question is, currently I'm in Graf 705 in 9 Wide. I'm looking to move into Supreme One90s as I'm told those are the closest fit in the move from 705 to NBH. Are the widths going to be similar, say if I were to go from a 9W in Graf to 8.5EE in One90? I'm just trying to piece this all together to be prepared to spend 550 on new skates and know what to look for. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cavs019 710 Report post Posted February 20, 2007 I always go with the smaller size in question. Skates open up, ankle packs settle in, and extra room just leads to sloppiness. Also, consider that the crux of the one90 design is "negative space. " Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pat19 0 Report post Posted February 20, 2007 I always go with the smaller size in question.I agree. I was kind of in the same situation except it was between 9.5 and 10. I went with the 10 and regret it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guy Incognito 0 Report post Posted February 20, 2007 Take the footbed out and stand on it. That will tell the tale of exactly how much room you have heel to toe.Is this also an adequate test for width? I just tried this because of foot pain and my footbed is nowhere near wide enough. I wonder if that contributes to the pain because it's squeezing my feet? Apologies in advance for hijacking the thread. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hockey DeVoTee 1 Report post Posted February 21, 2007 Thanks for your input.... I went with the 6.5 and last night skated for 20 minutes during one of my coaching friends squirt practice. They feel good. I can tell they will be perfect in a very short time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hockeydog 8 Report post Posted February 21, 2007 I think you went with the right choice, obvious by your experiance on them.Too often I have gone the other way with skates too often and eneded up with a less than perfect fit for good skating. My One90's are a C/AA widthand I'd been buying E width skates ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
