ccm 50k skates vs. reebok 20k skates

[bthompson1286 5]

Does anyone know how the Reebok 20k skates compared to the 50k skates or even the 70k skates?  The last reebok pair of skates I used was the 20k and they fit me very well.  I heard that the Reebok Ribcor skate was a different fit than the 20k.  Is this true?  How does the 50k fit?  I haven't been able to try a pair of 50ks on unfortunately.  Thank you in advance

ribcor line is much narrower than 20k's thru the heel and forefoot. The ribcor has the narrowest heel of the 3 ccm lines. The RBZ would have been a closer fit and now you would look at the Tacks line.

@Vet88 is right about the 50K being narrower than the 20K. Depending on how the 20K fits you the 50K may be too narrow but it was a great move for me.

I just moved from 20K to 50K and I realize now that the 20K was kind of a sloppy fit on me. I did go down 1/2 size from 20K to 50K though so that was definitely a big factor. I skated on the 50K for two hours the first time without baking and there was no significant discomfort. I've got a small protrusion on my right foot that may require a minor punch on the forefoot of the 50K but that same spot gave me problems in the over-sized 20K as well. I expect that I would have had to punch the 20K if they'd been sized properly from the start.

Oops, I forgot to mention that the ribcor sizing up to the 50k was different from the 20k line. Glad you liked them, I think they are a good boot.
