Reebok 8k 2010 skates

[icewalker_bg 126]

While waiting for shops to stock on new the bauers in d widths, i went ahead and ordered a pair of 8k size 7.5D. the skates fit me well, and the pump on top of my ankle booties seemed to lock my heel real nice.

my only concern is that ive tried also a 8e and by chance i looked at the heel on the E,and it seemed much tigher at the eye (fit wise didnt see any real difference, expect that its way wider in front). took pair of 7k 7d and 7k 7e and the e was indeed much tighter at heel. am i going crazy or theyre really made like that? doesnt a D have a A heel and an E an B heel?

heres a pic of my skate 8k 7.5d and a 7k 8e

7.5 D/A

8 E/B

Any insight is well appreciated.

Was the 7k pumped up at all? All the air may not have been released.

looked at a few pairs, all of them the e seems tigher and no air whatsoever, thats the first thing he did when i told him what i saw, and comparison was made with the 7k 8k and 10k, we cant really say at this point that one pair of skates was defective, its more likely the whole production line

at i th epics its not really clear, but when held in hands its really there

My other guess is: maybe yours was baked and the one with the larger heel wasn't? The foams may have packed down during the baking process, making it seem like the heel pocket is larger.

we looked at 3 different pairs of reeboks and all were the same, i dont get it
