tpedersen3118 58 Report post Posted March 30, 2017 Looking for some feedback for those skating the new Ultra Tacks. I've ordered a pair and they should be in this week. One thing I noticed is the length seems longer than my 190's, so I dropped 1/2 a size. In doing so, I noticed that the holder and runner are now shorter ( 263 vs 272 I'm currently on). Any positives or negatives about the skate are appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mickz 107 Report post Posted March 30, 2017 The previous gen was a full size down. I normally wear 7.5 in Bauer but could fit 6.5 in the RBZ/Tacks. The current Ultra Tacks are a 1/2 size down compared to Bauer as they are transitioning to make it the same as Bauer in the next gen. Never skated in the Ultra Tacks but I was impressed with the Super Tacks when I demo'd it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Everyone who makes a big ticket purchase will experience some sort of buyer's remorse. We all need reassurance that we have made the best choice possible before fully committing to something.

Here is the thread where the CCM rep talks about sizings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The toe box is way more narrow than my Supremes and really cramped my toes in there. Everything else about the skate was great; really needed a supreme toe box for the Ultra's to work for me. Guess I'll be sticking with Bauer for now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The store was ordering a new shipment and typically they don't carry EE widths. Plus they were a deal so I wanted to see if they would be the fit right. Had I known sooner when they were re-ordering I would have posted my question earlier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
