skate boot stretching

[DINO 0]

I have a V shaped foot, and was looking at some graf g5 in reular for the heel and was wondering if you can stretch the midfoot to a wider size. Let me know if any one has tried this. oh ya does the reg reeboks run about the same width as the bauers 1 90.

I believe the RBKs run wider but could be wrong, and as far as widening a boot, there is a process called "punching out" which does this, but it depends on how much wider you need to go.

In my experience in trying on the RBKs and the Vapors, they are straighter/boxier fit. The One 90s are more narrow in the heel and wide in the forefoot like a Graf 735. Between my One55s and Graf 735s, the Grafs seem to have a wider toe box. Both fit snug in the heel.

you can stretch it and gives you a little bit more room

Most LHS will have a 'boot stretching machine'. The machine will simply push out the boot, the process takes about 24 hours, but more time doesn't hurt. Not 100% on this but im pretty sure you can get 1/2 a size in length and width.

If you have a narrow heel, go with the G35 over the G5 since it has the same fit up front, with a narrower heel than the G5 would have.
