  • My old bauer supremes were a size 9. They were snug, my toes pushed up against the toecap and my heel was locked. I purchased vapor x 2.0's in size 9.5, half a size bigger than my old pair. I noticed when I skated in them that my toes have space at the front, maybe 1/2 inch to an inch from the toecap. I bought the superfeet footbeds for more support, but is it fine to have that much space at the toecap?

  • @deanbtr If the gap is small enough, then correct it by wearing a thicker sock. If a thicker sock cannot correct it then the skate is probably too big.

  • hi. i am fairly new to ice skating and i want a new pair of skates but can not decide on what would be the best to choice in the three i have in mind. Easton s1 Easton eq1 or Bauer Supreme one20. hope you can help me out. Thank you..

  • @WinningTheComp1 They are all solid entry level skates. I would go with the S1 if you have a narrow foot, the Supreme if have a wider foot.

  • sometimes my toes go to the front of the skate and it hurts. Any suggestions?

  • @steevo224 Sounds like you might need bigger skates.

  • 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

  • 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

  • @icehockeywarehouse Any info on the Graf 709 or the G70 ? ... I'm looking for a deep skate and many forums recommend those Grafs. I'll check out the Easton EQ in the meantime.

  • @QuieTSToRM33 Probably the EQ line from Easton or the Reebok line.
