Deeper skates

[fatwabbit 93]

As some of you know, I've had issues with skates not having enough depth... Does the Micron 10-90 have a deeper fit compared to skates like the One95, or RBK??

Edit... alright, epstud's mentioned that my instep doesnt fit into a pair of supreme skates... here are a few pics of what he's refering to. I got a pair of One55's, and my instep sticks out past the eyelets.

sorry for sharing the foot pics...

Deeper than what?

If you cannot fit into the Rbks/One95s with your instep, the Microns wont fit you either. Accept that :D

Your foot looks like my dads who skates in a Graf 709 sz 9 and a Torspo sz 10.5

Here's a few suggestions: any Graf that ends with a 9, especially the 709 or 609, if you can find them. Also, the RBK 6K pump is a really deep skate. The Nike/bauer flexlites should also work. New U+ is fairly deep too and they will mold really well to your foot, if properly fitted and heated.

I think he would have trouble with the U+ he has similar feet to me just a little deeper and I think I am right on the cusp of depth with those skates, but I think it would be a worth a try.

thanks for the suggestion guys... the U+ wouldnt work, as they dont have the CCM fitting machine here.

Does the 709 have a wider heel? I've been looking at the Graf 370/570 as well.

The CCM fit machine is not ncessary for the U+ skates, just a skate baking oven.

that link is really helpful with sizing grafs.

thanks for the link... used that before to narrow down the search to the 370/570/670 or the G70

most probably going with the 370.
