newbie help on skates

Recommended Posts

hi guys,

i bought a pair of goalie skates online which i find it a bigger fit. i read online that its impossible to fix but can anyone help?

i know baking them only makes the fit or mold it for better fit. which i already did and also put additional padding to get a better fit. still my toes arent really reaching the end of the skates.

my skates are bauer supreme one55.

any help , suggestion or opinion is greatly appreciated.

worst is buy new skates?

Id agree with the others who said sell them and buy skates that do fit. There isnt anything you can do to make skates fit that are too big.

This is why you don't buy shit on-line. I giggle to myself when people complain about sizing when they came into the store to buy something that actually fits. As long as you learn from this and move on, you will be a better person.

Nothing is worse than skates that are too big. Too big affects performance in a negative way more than any other skate size malfunction IMO. Too small may be bad, but if you can physically get your foot in the boot and endure some pain ( Paul Coffey) you'd still skate better than if you had too big a skate.

thanks guys, yeah i think the best way is what you all said. the problem is im playing in china. there arent much around here for goalies. thats the reason why i was force to buy things online.

and yes i bought them base on shoe size which i realize it was stupid really a newbie experience. wasnt really reading a lot then because my coach/teammate didnt do a good job advising me what should be.

thank you so much guys

WARNING!!!

This is not the best option, but, you can't get that much for One55 goalie skates and if yoru money is really tight...

If skates fit OK around the ancles and mid foot, but are too long in length, take some cotton balls and stuff them in the toe box. Wear them till length feels comfortable. Eventualy cotton will pack in, add some more. After a little while this plug will take shape. You can take it out and use some glue so it stays in place.

Again, last resort option, use it at your own risk.

If you use a footbed, like Superfeet, put the footbed in first then do the cotton thing.

Good luck.
