Total one skate sizing

Recommended Posts

hi guys i tried the TO the other day in a 9 EE size it was a litle bitt to short because i dont like to have the toe cap to tight and i was wondering if the 9.5 EE is the same width as the 9 EE. i am now skating on a pair of x60 size 10 D if that is any help?

Well, if you can almost fit into 9EE Total Ones then the 10D X60s are obviously too long for you. The length of the two Bauer lines should be the same, but I believe the Supreme line is wider. You're probably wearing a longer size than you need in the X60s because the fit is narrow and you wouldn't be able to get into a 9 or 9.5 without going to EE and/or getting them stretched. Jumping from D width X60s to EE Total Ones would be quite the leap in width...you may want to try on D in Total Ones as well and keep in mind that they can expand during baking. You don't want them to feel like a vice on your feet, but if there are only mild pressure points a baking will likely relieve them.

If the 9 was just a bit shorter than you prefer when trying it on then it might be perfect after baking and breaking it in. When I first got my 8.5 Kor Shift 2's I thought they were short (especially on the right foot) because my big toe was right against the cap, but after baking them and a few months skating on them they were the perfect length. Now, for me this was only my big toe hard agains the cap on my right foot and my feet weren't crushed or anything.

Did you try the skates at a good LHS? Did the salesman or woman measure your feet and then recommend the TotalOnes in that width? I have wide feet myself and had the opportunity to demo some TotalOne's at the MSH Summer Jam last year. The Bauer rep measured my feet and recommended 7.5EE - I tried on both 7.5D and 7.5EE and had a bit of pressure in the forefoot area with the 7.5Ds, but they might have been fine after baking. I wore the 7.5EEs and they were very comfortable and peformed well, but I did have slight heel lift. If I were to buy a pair of TotalOnes I'd probably either consider custom 7.5EE's with an A heel (as I have a wide forefoot) or see if the standard 7.5D could work after baking. In what way is my sizing relevant? Well, even though I tried on both sizes of skates and had a Bauer rep with me I'm still not 100% sure of the size I'd get in that model. Try on all the sizes and widths available to you if you can, preferably at a shop with employees that know how to properly fit skates.
