width explaination?

[hattrick74 0]

Can someone help me out whats the differences between widths: DA, D, EA, E? is there a link that could explain the differences for me?

[JR Boucicaut 3810]

The A refers to the heel width.

[Fredrik 0]

Forefoot: C=Narrow, D=Regular, E=Wide, EE=Extra wide etc.

Heel: AA=Narrow, A=Regular, B=Wide

Do C width skates usually come with an A cup heel?

You'd be hard pressed to find a C skate at retail level. And if you go custom, you can tell them whatever size heel you want.

Can you find retail DAA's in any brand?

No, but obviously some brands are more narrow than others.

In Bauer's Catalogues the sizes say: C, D, E, and so on. In CCM's it says: C F/H D,E F/H.

My question is what does the F/H mean on the CCM's sizing charts?

...if you don't mind buying a pair of skates before you get to stick your feet in them. There aren't a Hell of a lot of local shops that keep those sizes in stock and available on a regular basis.

I'm happy with the skates I got. I'm just trying to learn a little more for the future. I do know that the next time I try on a pair I would like to try a skate with a slightly narrower heel. Trying to understand my options. For example what F/H stands for in the CCM catalog? I'm assuming it has something to do with heel size also, but does it mean they come in F (for narrow) and H (for slightly wider)? Bauer doesn't mention anything in their catalog about heel size.

My question is what does the F/H mean on the CCM's sizing charts?

On the CCM website it says C,D,E Full/Half. So I guess F/H means full and half sizes like 6, 6 1/2, 7, 7 1/2 and so on.

QFT. I normally take a narrower skate and I rarely could find them in stock at the retail level.

In regards to a pair of one95s, If the D width is perfect for one foot but you feel pressure on the inside of your left foot (because of a bump just above the arch of the foot, but still on the side) would it be best to go with E width, or is the one95 'alive' material able to be molded enough to compensate for this pressure?

Thanks, that sounds logical.

Always try to size for the smaller foot and punch the other skate out as necessary to accomodate the bigger/wider foot - otherwise, you're going to have nothing but problems with that smaller/narrower foot. You can almost always make a skate a little wider...you're not going to have much luck filling negative space, though.

The One95 is extremely heat-reactive and moldable. Unless we're talking about a huge discrepancy, it should be relatively easy to take care of. Take the skates to a shop you know you can trust and have the guys there give you a hand.

At retail level, yes.

Thank you very much for the input. Unfortunately in Australia there aren't any stores I know I can trust haha. I'll be picking them up while overseas so hopefully something can be done instore. Thanks again

If I store doesn't have the EE width but they do have the D width, is there any way to know how wide each model will be without having a shop order in a pair?

Is there an actual measurement to the width rating of skates? Or is it just EE = 'wider than D width'?
