LivHockey84 0 Report post Posted October 31, 2011 (edited) It makes perfect sense. People's foot shapes are different. The reason shoe size and skate size have no correlation is because the fit of the two on each individual foot can vary quite a bit. Sneakers don't need to fit your foot snug all the way around, just stay in place moderately well. Skates on the other hand need to have the least amount of negative space as possible to get the most out of them. Hence the difference in sizes. It's not a bad base, but there's nothing that can replace trying things on.You have to figure "most" people fit their shoes at least 1/2 size big or more because thats how they were tought their whole life. You know the whole finger in front of the toes thing, right? Well subtract that 1/2 - 1 whole size from you shoe size and thats you actual foot size. In Skate fitting i like to go up 1/2 size for growth in a growing player, which is about a snug finger's width(top-bottom) in skates. if its a thumb width(like mom always checked for in your shoes) then it may actually be more like 1 size bigger in shoes. For instance I wear a 91/2 shoe and a 7 CCM Skate. Sure it looks like 2 1/2 sizes now BUT take away that 1/2 size then boom 2 sizes down and i like a tight skate.

ScruffyTheJanitor 1 Report post Posted November 4, 2011 I just got this off eBay, and was curious as to what you all think it is before I start officially "showing it off" haha. It's probably hard to tell just from the pic, but to me, it seems to be a tapered Widow blade. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
