this was when bauer used to make GOOD looking vapor skates... the silvers and greys really make them pop. that black tongues on these are unique as well.
@icehockeywarehouse my feet are around a 12 in hockey skates but I've always had problem with my Bauer vaper roller and ice skates due to wideness. My feet are a bit wider than yours and most people. Thanks for the pointer on CCM/Reebok
anon321 I just took my 11ks back to my skate shop with no problem after one month of skating on them and I beat the hell out of them. My heels started to lift real bad in the skates. I don't know your shops return policy but at my shop it is 90 days, they should work with you since they sized you and put you in the skates. Do anything you can to make it right your the customer.
Guess I'd like to stay in the Reebok line since they seem to have the proper width for my feet, and I like the Pump option to lock the heel/customize fit.
Could I have a link to the superfeet footbed. My feet always seem too wide and the sides of my feet hurt pretty bad when I start skating after about 10 minutes, so I think the footbed would be perfect
Figure skates aren't the same size as hockey skates. I do both sports. A figure skate is sized by properly measuring the length of your foot and the width of your foot. From there you can look up the size chart from which ever company you would want to buy your skates at,
do you need a wider boot if everything you said applied to how my skates fit on my foot, but at the toe box my toes are being squished together pretty badly? Like I said im pretty sure the size is right but the toe box is jamming my toes together causing me a lot of discomfort, the skates are vapor 30's that ive had laying around.... Just getting back on the ice.... been a few years since i last laced up.
I'm 13 and my foot are still growing bigger. For the skate size I wear, I wear 4 EE which was fit to my foot. Can I buy 4.5 EE instead of 4 EE so that I can be prepared of my foot growing?
Is it bad that I don't even use footbeds? I've had XXX's, 9k's and 2 pairs of XXXX's, but the only ones I haven't used footbeds in have been the XXXX's and my first pair was actually a custom skate. I've always wondered if I lose any lean or anything, but it's worked for me.
What would be the best way to find out the size for my skates? And what brand I should get as I have been told that the brands tend to fit differently.
When you're in a standing position, how much space is in the heel (inches)? And when you're in a leaning position, how much space is in front of toe (inches)? Because when I have skates on, mostly Bauer, there's about a half inch from the toe to the toe cap (in leaning position) and for the heel, I'm able to stick a pencil down with minimal resistance to it, when in a standing position.
How about ankle support? What type of tests should one do to ensure that there is proper support? For example I have two pairs skates both loose and untied Case A: 1 pair, when I put my foot in and raise my leg my heel still touches the insole Case B: The other pair when I put my foot in and raise my leg, the heel and the insole separate so there is distance Is case A the better fitting skate??
The heel/toe touch thing was a good point, can I use that for figure skates? If you know?.. Can't decide if I want to buy my first figure skates or hockey skates...
I am a uk size 9. What size would I need. I don't know what width I am. Can I go to a sports store and use the measurement I would get if I get my feet measured
im wanting to get into skating just for fun and maybe hockey i am 5 foot 4 and weigh 112 pounds (163cm and 51 kg) i have a narrow heel i think, my shoe size is 9.5 US what skates would you reccomend
My parents bought me new skates for christmas (bauer x3.0's) and ive been skating in them for a few months now but after skating with them for a while mid game the outside part of me feet are always really sore because they are a narrow fit for my wide feet is there anything i can do to fix this without buying new skates? thanks
There's a lot of room around the bottom of my shin and the skate. It that bad? So when I skate I have to bend the skates inward and skate on the inside of my blade and It hurts my ankle. Any recommendations?
i have an skinny foot and i got size 8EE( no other sizes), if i get them molded to my foot will the width come in and wrap around my foot? please reply thank you
very informative ... i think i should get the super feet with my new pair of skates because i have a ridiculously high arch and skate with a lot of pain with my CCMs do you recommend supreme's for high arch?
Hiya mate , I have the bauer Supreme Pro skates and I my feet move left to right inside of them, it's not that tight at the top and lol im kinda new. So my question is , is it right for me?
Tyler - Thanks for the informative videos. Would you still use that thin sock if playing outdoors? What do you do about cold feet, especially playing outside pond hockey? thanks - Dave
if im feeling some pain down by the arches of my feet and at my toes is that an indication that i need bigger skates or wider skates or should i buy new footbeds
is it possible when i tie my skates all the way up (all holes) i can't bend my knees and laces are hurting me like they are cuting my leg above the ankle?
How much room should be around the lower calve area? I've heard the upper eyelets should be not too tight. I've got pretty skinny calves/ankles though, so when i'm not thinking about it I pronate
would the supremes be good for me i have a really wide foot with a pretty tall arch and right now i could get a steal on some NXG skates but they're D width and im not sure if that would be wide enough
Hey Tyson, I went to a foot doctor and my doctor said I had flat feet and so he reccomended that I should wear a pair of superfeet for my ice hockey skates because of that, but he also said if the superfeet doesnt feel to well then I should try out the shockdoctor ones if they fit a little better, so can you guys do a review on both of those footbeds like this one except a little more detailed so I can pick which one is better for my foot, thanks.
Don't you want to go a tad bigger to account for swelling of the feet during the dame. I know after my games my skates fit really tight as my foot expands. What do you think?
I just got a pair of Vapor 3.0 skates. Got it baked already and skated for couple weeks. Recently, I feel pain at the front part of arch, followed with numbness later on if I skate more. Feel like the skates inside point to my arch and won't let it rested. I have a median arch. Tried superfeet, didn't feel any relief. Question: does it mean the shape of my feet doesn't fit the skates? Which line of bauer skates you think might be a better option for me? or different brand? Thanks!
Hey, I'm a size 9.5 in shoes and I recently bought a pair of Bauer Vapor 2.0 Senior skates for pond hockey and recreational skating. They're a size 7.5 and they fit perfectly around the foot, but the area around my ankles are too loose and allow my ankles to bend way too much. How do I solve this? P.S. I'm a beginner and would like to start skating right and not be called a bender lol
I know this isnt really related to the video. but I'm 15 and a half years old and would love to start playing ice hockey, but because this is so late to start playing, do you think I'll ever have a chance of making it professionally (in the EIHL)?
My toes are touching the front of the skate is that really bad? Also does a small skaye usually creates bad skating? I have reebok 6k and they are 6.5 size. Idk if they are too small they fell a little strange. I haven't skated with them yet but plan to soon. I hope they fit because I just paid 200 dollars for them and if they dont fit I just wasted all my hard earned cash.
No way with the thicker sock thing.I cant skate with thick socks.I just found it weird that i am a 101/2 sneaker and i need a size 8D Hockey skate.21/2 sizes down seemed alot to me but it is what it is.I tried an 8D Hockey skate and i just like the feel of my toes being closer to the toe caps.Gives me more control.I can and have used a 81/2 skate for a while and do skate well in that size.But after trying the 8D,i cant go back.Thanks for the response though.
My avg. shoe size is 9.5-10. My old skates are size 10D CCM Vector 6. Lacing them up tight as normal, after skating for a while one foot starts to go numb like the skate is too tight. I believe I may have wider than normal feet. I tried on 11.5D Reebok 4k's and felt proper width however my toes are 1+ inches short of the foot bed tip. Would an E or EE width Reebok in a shorter size (recommendations?) help for a better overall fit/performance (I'm interested in the Reebok 6k)?
Tyson, what size superfeet should I get from IW I have Bauer X60 size 8EE. I would say I have a med heel. Wide mid foot. Med at my toes. Real small arch almst flat feet. Thank You.
When I am skating, my skates tend to bend inward and its harder to stand straight up. How can I stay straight up more while skating, other than skating on the inside of my ankles all game?
Hi, Ice Warehouse. I used to wear a width D Reebok, but recently moved to a vapor width EE. I experienced some pain wearing both, but I like Bauer skates, so do you think it is a good choice to move to a supreme width EE the next time I buy skates? Also, how do the sizes compare: Reebok D, vapor EE, supreme D, and supreme EE?
Hi, I wanna ask about the K2 Radical 100. If my shoe size (not foot size) is UK 8.5, should I buy half a size bigger or smaller? It's hard for me to buy them online as I can't try them on first before buying them. Thanks.
hey tyson, I have some Vector 03 skates, i have been bleeding a lot on the back of my heels after playing.. but the rest of my foot is completely fine. What do you think would be the way to go for me? and what is the problem? is the heel pocket too narrow? i am looking to get new ones and I am pretty inexperienced
Casey, do you know if the U+ series (the 08 in particular) has more volume/foot-depth than CCM Tacks (circa 2005 or so)? Which skates, besides Flexlites, have good volume/foot-depth?
The insole test is a quick indication if the skate size is right for you. You'll want to follow the rest of the steps by trying on the skate and seeing if you have any tight pressure points. If the skate is hugging the side of your foot and putting a lot of pressure on it during your fit test, it's too narrow and you'll want to get a wider fit. Brandon at IW Hockey
Hockey socks dont suit me well, I use hunting socks such as RedHead because i have a wider foot and they keep me warm for those long shifts.. Will this affect me in a bad way if you guys know, Please let me know :)
The laces on the skates are going thru the eyelets wrong. If the laces started outside and came back in there would be no slippage as you can see in this video. So many skaters do this wrong, it's getting to be comical....
this was when bauer used to make GOOD looking vapor skates... the silvers and greys really make them pop. that black tongues on these are unique as well.
WOW...9 years ago! Amazing !
Sick video,I was able to figure out what fit is best for me before I bought my skates from you guys.
@icehockeywarehouse my feet are around a 12 in hockey skates but I've always had problem with my Bauer vaper roller and ice skates due to wideness. My feet are a bit wider than yours and most people. Thanks for the pointer on CCM/Reebok

Awesome video, thank you and good call on the superfeet thats exactly what i need
i was thinking of the eq tens i havnt really skated before and and wanna play pond hockey with my friends in the winter
Thanks this will really help with hockey skates I'm going to use
FYI great lighting and audio. Props to your film guys =)
@flashxm1 Buy reebok Pumps. 4k's are good and quite cheaps. What bigger number before K,the better skates.
Could I have a link to the superfeet footbed. My feet always seem too wide and the sides of my feet hurt pretty bad when I start skating after about 10 minutes, so I think the footbed would be perfect

is a d size good for me i'm ordering online and my foot is long but skinny and my ankle is skinny and not big like most feet
Where can I get skate socks, because I live in Australia if I search " skate socks" I only get skate socks for skateboarding
Thank you a squillion billion! Hope to get mine later this week :D
Is it bad that I don't even use footbeds? I've had XXX's, 9k's and 2 pairs of XXXX's, but the only ones I haven't used footbeds in have been the XXXX's and my first pair was actually a custom skate. I've always wondered if I lose any lean or anything, but it's worked for me.
What would be the best way to find out the size for my skates? And what brand I should get as I have been told that the brands tend to fit differently.
***** I don't know what foot shape I have. I don't know my dress shoe size either. I wear a size 12 DC skate shoe if that helps.
Thank you for all of your help, Chase! I'll try the skates recommended and I guess I'll hope for the best.
***** Suppose that my dress shoe size is a 10, yet I can't get a 8.5 entry level vapor skate, should I go 8 or 9?
Nice laces . . .
hi if i dont start by the middle by the skate my feet hurt. i dont know why they hurt . it you can help that will be great
thx for the video great info since I can't find skates that fit my extra wide feet at least size r feet
When i tie my skates i put as tight like you said but we i skate my let starts hurting like if i had a cramp i use wax laces
When you're in a standing position, how much space is in the heel (inches)? And when you're in a leaning position, how much space is in front of toe (inches)?

Is case A the better fitting skate??
The heel/toe touch thing was a good point, can I use that for figure skates? If you know?.. Can't decide if I want to buy my first figure skates or hockey skates...
@niwliam Graf is a good skate
I am a uk size 9. What size would I need. I don't know what width I am. Can I go to a sports store and use the measurement I would get if I get my feet measured

Thank you, Tyson.
i think that i bought a size to big so if i wear heavy socks and tighten it alot will that help me at all
There's a lot of room around the bottom of my shin and the skate. It that bad? So when I skate I have to bend the skates inward and skate on the inside of my blade and It hurts my ankle. Any recommendations?

do you recommend supreme's for high arch?
i have a very wide foot. I'm using ccm u+ 06 skates and are 8 1/2 E. i cant feel the front of the toe cap Should i get a bigger size?
Hiya mate , I have the bauer Supreme Pro skates and I my feet move left to right inside of them, it's not that tight at the top and lol im kinda new. So my question is , is it right for me?

Ok
How do you feel about skating w/bare feet? I've been skating this way for years, because I always felt this gave me the best power transfer. Thoughts?
Don't you want to go a tad bigger to account for swelling of the feet during the dame. I know after my games my skates fit really tight as my foot expands.
What do you think?
I just got a pair of Vapor 3.0 skates. Got it baked already and skated for couple weeks. Recently, I feel pain at the front part of arch, followed with numbness later on if I skate more.

i'm age 12 and sizes are either 5.0 or 5.5. so what size would I been in reebok,ccm,bauer skates?
which skates are the widest? i wear ccm cls in a d width right now and they're a little too narrow would the bauer supreme series be wider?

and also do i need skate socks? i just wear normal ankle sock while playing..
@icehockeywarehouse Thanks for the adivice mate but I tried wearking double socks and it worked lool , thanks mate SUBBED
i measured my foot my larger foot is 19.7cm in length and 7.6cm in width what size would be appropriate for me im getting Reebok Pumps
I am a size 9 in converse and my length is 27cm and width is 11 cm. Is CCM U+04 size 8D a good fit?
My avg. shoe size is 9.5-10. My old skates are size 10D CCM Vector 6. Lacing them up tight as normal, after skating for a while one foot starts to go numb like the skate is too tight.

3:08, in my case this distance is about 1/4". Is that too much? Should I exchange skates for 1/2 size smaller?
If I buy new footbeds should I re-bake my skates with them in or will it not matter?
is this the same for roller hockey skates?
well??
When I am skating, my skates tend to bend inward and its harder to stand straight up. How can I stay straight up more while skating, other than skating on the inside of my ankles all game?
If your toes do not touch the toe cap at all when sitting or standing,does this mean the skate is to big for you?
Hi, Ice Warehouse. I used to wear a width D Reebok, but recently moved to a vapor width EE.

Also, how do the sizes compare: Reebok D, vapor EE, supreme D, and supreme EE?
I'm normally size 6.5/7 but I've got a size 8 as i like space for my feet, is this good or bad?
does width matter? i got the x30s but didn't like them and i want to get the x50s but they come in the EE.
Hi, I wanna ask about the K2 Radical 100. If my shoe size (not foot size) is UK 8.5, should I buy half a size bigger or smaller?
It's hard for me to buy them online as I can't try them on first before buying them.

im a size uk9 - uk10 should i go for a uk11 skate
Do I get a 12EE skate if I have a wide foot and wear size 13 shoe?
hey tyson, I have some Vector 03 skates, i have been bleeding a lot on the back of my heels after playing.. but the rest of my foot is completely fine. What do you think would be the way to go for me? and what is the problem? is the heel pocket too narrow? i am looking to get new ones and I am pretty inexperienced
Casey, do you know if the U+ series (the 08 in particular) has more volume/foot-depth than CCM Tacks (circa 2005 or so)? Which skates, besides Flexlites, have good volume/foot-depth?
my foot size is 7 ft what size skate should i use? PLZ respond
Also I use superfeet yellow footbeds which don't help the depth. My local shop is incompetent, and appears to be all about the money.
Are figure skate size and hockey skate size the same
Do you rec superfeet in new skates Thank You
would a reebok fit be the same as a EE bauer vapor
those skates are Bauer VAPOR APX?
where u get the superfeet from man i want some!!!
Thanks man!!!!!!
im a size 6 foot and its wide what size skate shall i get ?
Hey guys I'm age 14 size 10.0 in regular shoes what size would I be in bauer supreme totalone skates? Thanks:)
It’s ok for the foot to go over the side of the insole? Mine fit like this but I thought it’s too narrow since my foot goes over the side?
The insole test is a quick indication if the skate size is right for you. You'll want to follow the rest of the steps by trying on the skate and seeing if you have any tight pressure points. If the skate is hugging the side of your foot and putting a lot of pressure on it during your fit test, it's too narrow and you'll want to get a wider fit.
Brandon at IW Hockey
thanks that helped
sometimes my toes go to the front of the skate and it hurts. Any suggestions?
Hockey socks dont suit me well, I use hunting socks such as RedHead because i have a wider foot and they keep me warm for those long shifts.. Will this affect me in a bad way if you guys know, Please let me know :)
Can someone plz help me when I tighten my skates as tight as they can go my little.toe starts to hurt a little why.is that ??
After every game my feet hurt wat should i do about it?
Also its painful on the side of my feet
Nice video !!:)
The laces on the skates are going thru the eyelets wrong. If the laces started outside and came back in there would be no slippage as you can see in this video. So many skaters do this wrong, it's getting to be comical....
How do I determine width?
Shit I get blisters after every game. I guess it time to get new skates. I bought my current ones almost 5 years ago.
If i always had Reebok skates the K versions , will VAPOR Fit ?
Thanks Jake!
