Easton skates s17 fit vs s15

[Gost 0]

Hi, my current eastons s15 getting to the end of their life, using this pair for last 3 seasons and wouldn't mind to change to a same model. But it seems s15 are gone for good.

I wonder if s17 have same fit as s15. Unfortunately I can't try them, as there are no shops in my area having those in stock, ordering is the only option.

So my question to those who switched froms s15 model to s17, do they fit the same? Is it safe to order same size?

Thanks!

I posted this earlier today in another thread. On me they do not. The 17 is a half size bigger. But thats me.

I went from S15's to S17's (black version) before I grabbed my latest pair.

Sizing and fit was the exact same for me.

Yeah they should be the same. I've had S15s and two pairs of S17s and they're basically the same.

Had both as well. Same fit.

Do you guys lace all the way up?

I'm curious as to how many of you other Easton skate guys have worn the synergy line as well and how you would compare it to the stealth.

Leave the top eyelet unlaced!

Krev, do you think there is more padding in the S17 than the S15? I cant figure out if it may be that or the felt tongue being the reason I had to go a 1/2 size up.

I didn't notice a significant difference in padding as far as thickness goes, walls of the skate, tongue or otherwise.

I dont know then. A few years ago I got the S15 in 9.5 and they fit. This time the S17 didnt. Thanks though.

Very sorry for basically re-opening this thread, but I have just bought a pair of clearance S17s, they are size 7.5D, The skates I had before were the RBK 9k (2010) size 6.5D

The problem is that I never had the chance to go and try them in person, and just bought them after reading reviews and such. I am a size 8.5 shoe, and the S17 box says it should fit a size 9 in shoes, It just feels too tight, Do you think baking would make them open the skates wider and make the skates feel as if they are bigger?

I'm having a very hard time trying to explain it, but these skates are not returnable, and before the rbk 9ks I had a pair of s15 which fit me perfect, if anyone can help it would much appreciate it, once again sorry for reopening this old thread.

Too narrow or too short in that your toes are smashed against the end?

[KevinVu19 0]

Yeah, exactly

[AIREAYE 248]

So both? I had an 'or' in that post.

[KevinVu19 0]

My toes are smashed to the toe cap, sorry my apologies

[Krev 86]

I'd attempt to resell them and go with a size 8. There's a pair of S17 size 8's on ebay right now.

[AIREAYE 248]

Yup, Krev's right. It sounds like they're a little too small. Ideally, you should have your toes feather or barely touch the front of the toecap when you're standing in laced skates, knees slightly bent.
