Reebok 20k vs Bauer totalone nxg/nexus 1000 skates

[Slokey3 0]

I currently wear 11k's but I'm thinking about getting a new pair this upcoming season. I've been wearing reeboks for the last 5 years so I don't know how the fit of different brands would compare. I would appreciate anyone who has experience with theses skates to help me out. Thanks.

Transition from 11k to 20k would be easier... if you enjoy reebok fit, go with Supreme series in Bauer if you choose to switch brands.

All three skates have a completely different fit from one another. Best bet is to try 'em out yourself if you can to see which fit your feet best.

The 20k's are quite a bit different than the 11k's in my opinion...

20k has a much narrower heel and less volume than the 11k's, at least that was what I found. They're also a bit narrower feeling throughout the forefoot and toe box.

I had much better ankle lock in the 20k's, even without pump use than in the 11k's.

I found that the Nexus 1000 has roughly the same heel/ankle as the 11k, but a really narrow toe box and forefoot. Lots of volume in the Nexus too.

Best advice is from Andoy. Try em on and see what fits YOU the best.

I had the first generation 9K's when they first came out, and loved them. Then when the 11K's came out I got a pair of those, as my 9K's were shot by that time. Never got comfortable in the 11K's, but was determined to give them time.

Finally I was convinced that I would never get used to them (two and a half years worth of hope, I also tried many other skates in the mean time), I started seriously shopping for skates.

Tried on everything on the wall in my size, starting with skates I knew I cannot wear: Vapors, U+ CL's, moved on to One.9's, Nexus 800. Eventually I slipped on the 20K's and was blown away how much more comfortable they are than anything I've tried on that day. Been in them for about a month plus, and must say, they are the best skate I have had on my feet, ever.

Take into consideration that I have worked/owned/managed hockey stores for 18 years, and have had many skates on my feet, including customs.

Take a trip out to a store, and try everything on in your size in a side-by-side comparison. Just be considerate and if you are going to a LHS, then by the skates there, don't waste their time and buy on-line. I did the opposite, went to HM, and bought at a LHS.
