what skates for me?

[tedbuck 0]

i am currently wearing graf g5 supras... i am thinking about switing to a new skate. i dont like the stride the grafs give me so i was thinking about nikebauer. i have thin heels and thin feet with big toes. what skate would be best for me. i was thinking maybe one90, vapor xxxx, 9k pumps, vector 10.0...

any suggestions????

as everyone is going to say all those skates fit pretty differently so go to the store and buy whats fits best because obvisously price isnt a factor and there all high end skates so go get what fits best.

My feet are similar, I found the XXXX's to be pretty good....the toe box is wider than previous vapors.

Why not mess around with profile and pitch first ? So long as the boot fits well.

I agree, swap holders or get a profiling.

I also have a narrow heel and just switched to Easton S11's. The Stealths and Grafs were the only skates that could lock my heel into place.

I too have a narrow -ish heel and a wider forefoot. Tried the Ultra G35 but didn't like the fit- even in a wide. Now skating in a Easton Synergy 800C.

Much better skate for my abilities and the heel lock is better than the Graf.

Take it from someone who has bought many a skate online only to be disappointed, don't buy online. Go to a LHS and try on everything in your size. I will NEVER buy online again, unless it's a 100% direct replacement for the skates I already have and my LHS can't get them anymore.

I was in the NBH Supreme line wearing the 50s which fit the same as the 30s and 70s...I made the switch to Supra 705s (fit the same as your G5s). If you are going in the opposite direction I went, try a half size down in the D width (if you are a regular width in grafs) in the Supreme line, one90s fit differently, way differently. Example: a 9.0 fits perfectly in my old NBH 50s, a 9.5 in the Supra 705s and 5 series Grafs fits perfectly. If your grafs are a 9.5 R, send me a PM when you get some new skates I might scoop them up off you pending condition :).

if you switch the holders to tuuks it will flatten the boot out a little. if you were to go with a new skate i wouls say the xxxx for s15. good luck

No one with a narrow heel should be in a NBH skate, period. Those claiming they have a narrow heel and are in a NBH skate either do not have a narrow heel or don't have proper fitting skates.

The boot does not affect your stride as much as the holders and steel. Talk to your LHS and go through the options to make your stride the way you want them to be.
