Title: Hockey Skates. Post by: stroh on December 30, 2006, 04:20:52 PM I have had a pair of Bauer(el cheapo) skates for years. They hurt my feet, and they go numb after a few minutes.
My daughter(8) is skating a lot more, and we have a pond in our back yard, so we plan to skate a lot more also. I remarked, about the fit/feel of my skates. Karen bought me new ones for Christmas. They are Easton Series 200. Will the upgrade help?(I haven't tried them yet) I know you can have "form fitted" skates, but I don't want to spend hundreds. Should I keep, return, upgrade, different brand? Nike? CCM? Thoughts? Title: Re: Hockey Skates. Post by: spacey on December 30, 2006, 04:24:01 PM This isn't golf equipment discussion. I have reported you to the administration. Justice should be swift. I suspect the pain will me minimal.

A tutu will, however, make you so smoking hot the ice may melt. I refrained from pics, others may feel free not to. Title: Re: Hockey Skates. Post by: stroh on December 30, 2006, 06:42:07 PM No answer Dyno? That's why I put it here! >:(

Title: Re: Hockey Skates. Post by: Dunk on January 02, 2007, 12:55:17 PM Hockey skates are generally worn a little on the tight side, about 1/2 size too small (or more). And they're very rigid. As a result, skates will always hurt your feet. You just have to get used to it.
Title: Re: Hockey Skates. Post by: Art Vandelay on January 04, 2007, 06:48:27 PM I've tried a few different kind of hockey skates, and while none are "comfortable", some feel better than others. I had CCM's that were downright torture. Also had a pair of Bauer's that were so-so. Currently have a pair made by Koho that are the most comfortable that I've found to date.
Title: Re: Hockey Skates. Post by: stroh on January 04, 2007, 07:22:59 PM Cool, thanks guys.
I heard/seen that the stores do this custom mold/heat/form fitting. I always thought my skates were just cheap. Title: Re: Hockey Skates. Post by: Zoot on January 05, 2007, 04:15:50 PM Properly fitted Bauers are the bees knees,IMHO
Title: Re: Hockey Skates. Post by: candukid on January 11, 2007, 10:59:22 AM I have high arches...take a look at skates in a store sometime...you'd be surprised at the angle some of the boots have on them. CCM seem to go straight and then up the ankle, while most Eastons go on an angle up before they get to the boot. FWIW I wear Eastons now and at first they hurt a bit, but seem to be great now. I leave the laces onvet the crown of the skate loose (REALLY LOOSE)and only tighten the top two holes.
Cool, thanks guys. I heard/seen that the stores do this custom mold/heat/form fitting. I always thought my skates were just cheap. |
