skate size/fit questions

[bostonjuniorblackhawks 1]

I have a pair of U+ pro's in size 9.5 E. With my toes pushed all the way forward so that the touch the toe cap in the boot, I can barley fit a pencil behind my heel. When I skate in these, my heel is locked in and my toes do not brush the front of the boot. I was wondering if I went with to large of a size.

I also have a pair of prostock xxxx's in size 11 EE that have never seen the ice. I have baked them though. I have a bit more room behind my heel when I touch my toes to the toe cap. I was wondering If these seem too big, so that I can sell them to purchase skates that fit correctly. I bought these for $200, so I think I can easily get my money back. When I tied these, my heel was locked in tightly and didn't move at all. Is having a bit of extra length in skates going to effect my skating much?

Any input is greatly appreciated and I realize that these questions may sound pretty dumb.

Thanks,

Bob

The Vapors IMO are way too big for you. As for the U+ they seem alright. You may have been able to go a half size smaller but you would have had to try that smaller size to know for sure.

Looks like you went about a half size too big on the vapors. CCM's are fine.

I figured that. I feel that the 9 in a U+ would be too small, plus I didn't have a choice as the were a warrenty replacement for my rbk pumps. XXXX's will most likely be in the for sale section tonight................

Also If I found another pair of xxxx's, should I go down a half or full size? I tried on 9.5 xxxx's and those were too small.

Those vapors look to be several sizes too big. I think that the 9.5 size in the vapors that you tried on, felt too small because the boot is likely not a good match for your foot.

The CCMs look fine though.

The 9.5 vapors felt way too short length wise...........I could barley get my foot into it

Then you may want to try a 10 instead as 11s are clearly too big.

Those Vapors are MASSIVE on you. The CCM's look OK IMO,They could still be a bit snugger in the perfect world.
