Dan_The_Man_16 0 Report post Posted October 27, 2004 Just wondering what skates are made with narrow heels. I was talking to a guy who said he used to be the equipment manager for Portland, and he said I should try and see if I can get a custom "C" width CCM Tack skate. I don't really have time or money to do this, so any reccomendations? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
htrain88 0 Report post Posted October 27, 2004 The majority of the new skates can be heat-molded any which way. I took some Vector 6.0's and worked them until my heel fit just right. My last heating was to "pinch" the ankle area in with my hands. It worked great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dan_The_Man_16 0 Report post Posted October 27, 2004 I am aware of heat moulding. I had Graf 502's and 625's which were heat mouldable and I was unable to use them, and the same with Bauers. I was looking at Vectors, but apparently they are somewhat wider than the Tack series. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chadd 916 Report post Posted October 27, 2004 Most D width Skates have an A heel. Going to a C width would make the whole skate more narrow, as well as giving you the AA heel. Since you're only asking about the heel it may not be a good idea anyway. The Vapors and the 703s seem to be more narrow than others to me but it has been a while since I tried them on.

Dave 1 Report post Posted October 27, 2004 Graf claims that the 735/G35s have a narrow heel. I've never tried them on, it's just what Graf says, so take it for what it's worth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Justin 1933 134 Report post Posted October 27, 2004 I truly believe we have the best fitting heel and heel lock of any skate out...Definitely give a look at our skates...No other skate will come close... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beaucoup_fish 0 Report post Posted October 27, 2004 Nike's old Quest line was very narrow in the heel...offered a great snug fit. Not sure about the V series tho, but they don't look significantly wider. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dan_The_Man_16 0 Report post Posted October 27, 2004 I am in old Nikes (Quest 3's) right now, and they fit my heel good. They are realy tight though. I just can't wear Graf, so they are out the window. Justin, I will take a good look at Missions, I always percieved them as a wider skate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dan_The_Man_16 0 Report post Posted October 27, 2004 For Justin: Coming from Nikes and Eastons before the Missions I am looking at (S400), will the skates be noticably less stiff in the upper half? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Justin 1933 134 Report post Posted October 27, 2004 You will definitely have more range of movement, which at the beginning my be a bit akward...However, after a couple of skates you will love it...Ask around for others opinions...Justin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The V series (although I never tried the Quest) is significantly wider. I am in Hi-Ho's and swimming in the heels. For Ice I am in Wide 609's and have always been a Wide guy before then. These Hi-Ho's are unreal though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
