suttsy23* 0 Report post Posted March 17, 2019 Hey everyone, I got a question for all of you. I am a retired minor pro player, I’ve been wearing the old CCM RBZ skate for a number the years (the original RBZ) and have come down to my last pair. What skate on the market currently fits most like the RBZ? I don’t wanna pull a Patty Marleau and contemplate retirement due to a lack of comfortable skates for my wide, flat feet. Thanks in advance Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have wide, flat feet like the OP and had to go customs after trying to skate in Nexus. He may be able to replicate the features on that skate to some degree with getting a custom one-piece CCM skate. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ya unfortunately, im a 7 in one skate, 7.5 in the other, ee in one, eee in the the other. so finding used skates is not an option. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've had my eye on true. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I did end up going with True. I may try the CCM customs next time I need a new pair just to see what they can do for me. But if you have weird feet where no line by either Bauer or CCM fits your profile, you don't have to worry about be shoehorned, no pun intended, into a skate family that may have aspects that aren't ideal for you.
