canqingz 3 Report post Posted August 24, 2015 a little background:Used to have vapor x3.0 7.5ee and supreme one.8 7.5ee, both skates provide great heel lock for me.Liked the fit of vapor line better, so I upgraded to x100 7.5ee.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Everything went on fine for the first couple of months, and breakin process was not as painful as my x3.0's. but now, I am starting to feel that the heel was starting to get looser.(forefoot is OK, a little extra room though)Q1.Is this because the x100's fit is slightly different from that of the old generation?(maybe wider than before?)Q2.Can I get a better heel lock by going from EE to D? Thanks in advance! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chadd 916 Report post Posted August 24, 2015 The A heel in a D boot will be more narrow than the B heel in the EE skate. However, that does not guarantee a better "lock", only that they will be tighter there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WSjo22 1 Report post Posted August 24, 2015 If you like the fit in the forefoot with the EE but still want a snugger fit in the heel try wearing something like Bunga Achilles pad. I'm in between heel sizes and I wear them to make up the difference and they've worked well for me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ryoichi 4 Report post Posted August 24, 2015 you can try to wear stable 26 socks. may solve your heel lock problem...i have had really bad heel lock with my RBZ skates. but i solved it wearing stable 26.or, you can wear pads around your ankle area. like EZeefit.

Dizzyg12 27 Report post Posted December 12, 2015 thank you guys for the input,I thinks i am going to try achilles pad or the stable 26 socksI am using waxed laces, but they don't seem to help much...Old thread but did you have success with the stable 26? I just went from vapors to supreme because the vapors were too low volume but the supremes have more room in the heel, mostly just in my right foot on the inside below the ankle. Not so much that my foot slide around and I haven't been on the ice with them yet, so one they are broken in it may not be an issue, but if it is, this It looks like this would be the perfect solution.
