current skate with U+ fit profile

[boo10 323]

Is there a current generation of skate that has the same fit as the CCM U+CL line?

Nothing. RBZ is the closest of course, but you may have luck fitting into other skates, as is often said. Baking can change the fit of both quite noticeably, so I don't really know what you're hoping to get by asking this question...

Thanks. I've tried on almost every skate out there with the exception of Makos and Graf. I'm currently in Vapors, but after 3 pairs I've decided they're not right for me. I tried on some U+12's yesterday and they felt pretty good right out of the box. Was going to pick them up, but figured since they're about 4 years old, maybe a current gen skate would have the same fit profile. I'm reading some conflicting things about the Jetspeed, so thought it might be worth holding off, (I've read everything from a narrow Vapor-like fit to an RBZ with tighter ankle). It's laughable to hear what the guys in the Local shops / Big Box stores will tell you about the fit of different models. I think the best one I heard was that the CCM Ribcor was wider and deeper than Bauer Nexus.

I have U+12's and am currently searching for new skates.

IMHO the most similar fitwise are RBZ's and Graf 9035's. I was really impressed with the fit of the Grafs, I was able to fit in a regular width Graf whereas I need at least EE in all other skates I tried (bauer, ccm/reebok) and they felt very comfortable (currently my favourite). I'm waiting for the jetspeed to try, but what I'm hearing they changed the fit on them.

Makos could work also since they are very heat moldable, but didn't try them yet

Curious, where are you located? I know a GTA store that has several pro stock pairs of CLs.

Don't be too hard on the stores, it's not really their fault. Reebok/CCM seems to be changing their fit stories every year and so far for this year, haven't done much to help stores clear up the confusion. I'm not surprised that you're hearing different things. I'm still waiting for CCM's skate fit guide for 2015 to come out to conclusively differentiate the fits.

However, the Jetspeeds will not fit like CLs.
