Skates that fit like Easton 1500 - general problems

[hergs 7]

Guys;

Haven't posted in a long while. Need some opinions here.

My Easton 1500's have lasted me 5 years or so but have recently fallen apart. Me liking Eaton so much, I bought S17's on sale for $199. Thinking they fit the same. Boy was I wrong. Wore them once and got a huge blister below the horseshoe padding around the ankle. Since this padding cannot be punched out I cannot skate on them which sucks and have recently listed them on the Bay.

In a nut shell I'm looking to buy something that fits like the Easton 1500 in a newer model boot. I have tried Graf G3's, seemed to fit me alright but felt apart.

Please help

Have you baked the S17s?

I'll ask the same question, because after I baked my S17s, it felt like I was wearing a sneaker. They were VERY comfortable and I had zero issues with blisters or rashes (I never wore socks in them either).

I have both & also find the fit to be very different.

What size were your 1500s?
