RBK 7K Pumps vs CCM Vector 06

[amheft 0]

Roller Hockey: I'm 6"1 and about 250 lbs. I play Right Wing or Right Defense, with a size 13 foot.

I am deciding between the Reebok 7K Pumps (DUSK), or the CCM Vector 06. I am not sure, it seems like the Pumps are for more of a finesse player and the CCM are for bigger protection. My main problem is the width of my feet which is quite bigger than usual sizing (D). About 3 years ago I got some Mission Wicked 7, and they did not bake in and cause excruciating pain on the sides of my feet. So which one should I get?

well im 5'10" and had the same decision to make, i also play right defense.

I tried on both skates and they both felt about the same in terms of weight, protection etc. but the 7K's were just too wide for my feet so i got the vector 6's. They're a great skate for the money, i like them a lot and have had no problems with them.

If thye are like traditional ice skates. The 7k will be based on the old CCM Tack line with a pump. The vectors are the newere boot, but much more narrow. I cant wear vectors in standard width and I am only 5'7' shit kills my foot way to narrow. In vectors I wear a wide. Reeboks a regular D. Have u tried both on?

Not trying to hi-jack the thread or anything, but are all vector models (specifically the last models, named 10.0 insted of V10 of the current top end) narrow? I'm thinking now I was under the false impression that RBK and CCM were similar in width...

Rbks skates fit closer to the CCM Tacks line. The Vector line has their own fit. It's the same thing as the One series and the Vapor series for NBH, two very different fits.

I too have a super wide foot and was having the same dillema as you last month trying to decide between the 7k's and the Vector's. After trying both of them on, i went with the 7k's...I wear RBK's for ice hockey too so for me it was a little bit easier of a decision. D width in the 7k's is plenty wide for my foot and the D width in the vector was pretty tight. Hope that helps, good luck man.

I also have tried on both. I'm a big guy too 6'1" about 290..and i play Defense. I eventually got the reebok 7 k in an "E" width and it's the most comfortable skate i've ever used on roller. My Graf ice skates are like butter...love those, but I can wear the RBK 7k for hours and not have any foot soreness.
