Can't break in new Bauer skates

[Circa6683 0]

I've skated CCM my entire life and decided to make the switch to Bauer. I went from CCM U+ 07 to Vapor X70 and I'm having to worst time with the transition. I constantly feel unbalanced. I know brands will differ with stiffness, boot height and pitch. Anyone else have this issue?

I've had them since February but stopped skating with them back in July. I skate twice a week. I've baked them twice, wore them around the house. I know the old saying is "just keep skating, they'll break in." But just looking for a little help, maybe a couple tips. Thanks!

Most likely because they're not the right boot that fits your foot as well as the CCM's did.

You might supply some information on the nature of your problem. Fit problem, skating problem, specifics, etc.

Put them on eBay and buy some CCMs.

That pitch and radius (Bauer 9' vs CCM 10). About pitch: Vapor put you more on heel then CCM. What i know, u need +1 degree forward for have same pitch. Jimmy can comment my post.

vastly different fit, if you liked the ccm fit either get another pair of ccms, reeboks, bauer nexus' and maybe even grafs. Vapors are the slimmest fitting boot you can get and ccms are some of the widest.
