Glad I stumbled across this video. Bought a pair of skates and never skated before in my life. Shop fitted me in a size 5.5 Jetspeed which I thought was too small but the guy said to give it a few skates to break in. After my first skate a few days ago, I was in so much discomfort that I decided to look into whether or not the guy was right. Found this video, and it turns out that I should be in a size 7 skate and my feet are wide. So they fitted me in a skate too small and narrow. Going to return the skates and go buy a better fitting pair from a different shop. Thanks for the video!
Totally forgot my width ratio since I did it, but it was definitely less than 3. But in store I tired on a pair of Vapor skates size 7R and they fit totally fine.
I have the exact same measurements as the example outline. 28cm x 11cm. I am a solid UK size 9, but your chart shows UK as size 9.5. It's confusing because you have US sizes only half size larger on the chart, but all shoes I own and have ever owned show the US size to be 1 full value higher. So a UK 9 is a US 10. Would Ice Skates in the UK be labelled as UK sizes so I should still follow the 1.5 size down rule? Which would make me a 7.5 UK size Ice Skate or an 8 going by your chart. I can only buy Ice Skates online because there are no shops near me so this has been putting me off.
my right foot is the same as his in the video. left has a .5 cm more in length. i wear 10.5 in sneakers but in skates it's a 9. i guess i should be wearing size 11 sneakers all this time 🤔... i had started in a reebok 9EE.. but i think an E would've been more sufficient because reeboks do feel alil roomy. found out for my level those skates were too high up so i switched to beginner level supremes, which only comes in R widths and then because they look "cooler" i decided to try out vapors skates, 9EE and those fitted the best even though according to width i should be in supremes. my widths are L=2.6 and R=2.54. but i think the reason why my feet aren't being crushed (width wise) inside the vapors is because my ankle + heel area are skinny (less mass i guess)
Interesting! Thank you for the feedback too. There might have been an issue during the measurement process, what size shoe do you wear? Chase at IW Hockey

Are CCM and Bauer sizes the same? I have CCM skates from about 10 years ago in size 9 (us10.5 / eur44 / uk 9.5 / cm27.7) now looking to buy Bauer Vapor x3.7 and wonder should I order the same size? I live in Ireland and there's no shop to try them anywhere near me.
I've been wearing my Bauer Vapor X100 for 2-3years. My skates size is 5EE. I always feel that my skates fit me quite well except the forefoot areas are a bit tight. After watching this video and I measured my feet. The width ratio of both of my feet is 2.55. If I buy a pair of Supreme skates in the same size (size 5), would they feel obviously wider (comparing to my Vapor in size 5EE)for my feet already if I choose a D width? Or do I need to go for a EE for my width ratio to fit perfectly?

Great video, my feet is 28cm and 10.5cm...my regular shoes are uk 9.5 or 44. I bought ccm tacks D size witch are also 9.5 and are too big for me especialy on lenght. What size would you recomend for me? What about bauer vapor x500 8.5 EE?
I just bought a pair of skates (online) and they do feel snug all around my foot. Only thing is that my toes have about half an inch to the front of the cap. Is it bad to use these skates? (They do not offer he half size I‘d need for the skate line)
I measured my feet and got a 2.6-2.7 ratio, length is 263-264 and wide is 9.8. By my calculation it seems bauer supreme 7.5 EE. Is it right? Would you clarify/recommend a brand and size, please. Thanks.
I’ve had the vapor xxx’s for several seasons and think it’s time for a new pair. I wear a 9.5 size shoe and the skates are a size 8. I went to a store and tried on a size a pair of 6.5 and they said those are size you want. Had to test them out and hurt my feet. Need some pointers
Going from a 9.5 to a 6.5 is nuts. They are dead wrong. You need either 8 or 8.5. The Bauer scanner tool is on drugs. I'm an 8 and it wants me to use a 6.5. I can't even step into such a small skate properly. I need a 7 EE.

Your foot is actually very close to the high volume size but still within a medium volume skate. Your go-to choices are the CCM Tacks & Jetspeed skates, and Bauer's Supreme. We would recommend going with a EE in terms of width. Brandon IW Hockey

I know this video is old but can u please help me, I’m trying to buy Bauer Supreme M4 Junior Ice Hockey Skates from hockey monkey but I don’t know the right size and My shoes size is 36 please help and what is the right size I have to get ?
So based on a EU36, your M4 Skate size would be an Intermediate 4.5 size skate. Best way to confirm is to follow the instructions on this video and measure the length of both feet in centimeters. Then, come check the detailed sizing chart on our website to see which skate size is best for you! www.icewarehouse.com/Bauer_Supreme_M4/descpage-SM4IS.html Brandon at IW Hockey
Sorry for the late reply! Yes, if you order through us you will have free shipping and have 90 days to return or exchange the skates. You cannot use or sharpen the skates, so try them on in your house and if you aren't satisfied you can return the skates for another size. We include a pre-paid shipping label and invoice with exchange instructions. If you have any more questions, feel free to call our customer service at 1-800-366-3070. I'd recommend starting with a size 4.5 Fit 2 skate! Brandon at IW Hockey
I have an older pair of Mission AC6's....and they're TOO NARROW. My feet are killing me after even just 8-10 minutes ;) Looking to replace with something wider for casual use....any suggestions? THANKS!
Hi, my width ratio fits the supremes however I got arch pains so I thought I would use a different insole which solved that problem however then I got lace bite pain on the top of my forefoot. Any recommendations on what I should do
Thanks for the reply, chase. I'm using the yellow superfeet that the manager of the store recommended. Also, did you mean to use different insoles with the Super Tacks or would the insole that comes with the skate good enough? Thanks.
i wear size 7 started with.x500 and had terrible.lace bite so found a pair of x90s in 7.5 and still getting pressure on.top.of foot unless i skate with tongue flop. my width is 2.5 would the.nexus or supreme line have a deeper boot to eliminate this issue.
Hi, I want to know what skates should fit me better, I have a length of 27.1 cm and my width is 9.7, the ratio is about 2.79, and I just got into skating, I don't know what skates are the best for me, I hope you can help me, thanks
can somebody help me out? My length measurements are 28.4cm but my regular shoes are 43 44 EU size. Im confused and i dont know what skates i should buy
Use your length measurement to see what skate size you are. We have great sizing charts on each skate product page, located on our website. For a quick response, you're a size 10 skate for a close, performance fit, 10.5 for a bit of extra room if you prefer. Brandon at IW Hockey
My foot length is 25.8 and my width is 10.1cm which makes my ratio 2.55. I tried on the Supreme s160's in a 7D but the width felt a little off. Shoulf i go for an 7E In the s160, or is there a skate that you recommend i try? Thanks
My length is 26.5 and width is 11.5. Ratio of 2.3 I already use Supremes 8.5 EE but I have excruciating pain on the outside of my feet. Should I use Nexus 9 D or Nexus 9EE?
I typically wear a 12 shoe, but this method yielded an 11 and 27.8 cm. According to the chart I'd be in a 9.5 Bauer skate. Would they fit? I don't have any shops near me, so I have to order online. Thanks!
The highlighted row was just an example of using the chart, sorry it threw you off. For 28cm it would have been all the skates in the 28.1cm row. Brandon IW Hockey
Ice Warehouse thanks for the response! I measured at 28cm and went with the 27.7 based on the -1.5 size rule, and they seem to fit just fine. Just wanted to make sure I was in the ballpark.
When we say 1.5 sizes down, that's a general sizing guideline. It's always best to confirm your fit by trying them before you use them! Brandon at IW Hockey
Hello, please tell me how to choose width... My foot length 27,7cm and 11cm which makes my ratio 2.51. Which size should i choose 9D or 9EE?(for Bauer NEXUS)
Ice Warehouse, does it mean that Nexus D is compared with Supreme EE? I've tried Supreme 8,5 EE... It's too narrow for me and I think even if I get half size bigger, it won't be comfortable too. I have almost the same parameters of the leg as you, what size and width did you skate on nexus n1?
Hello, I measured my foot and lenght is 27.5cm and width is 10.4 which makes my ratio 2.64. Which size should I choose 9d Suprem or 9EE Vapor or......?
@@zumburumba The difference is very noticeable. Be aware that a Supreme is not wider in the front, it's wider in the middle and rear, and a bit taller. This means that where you feel the width difference between a Supreme 9D and a Vapor 9EE, is not in the same place. If the Vapor 9D is too narrow, a Supreme 9D will be too. Figure out if you're a D or EE, and then figure out whether you're a Supreme or Vapor. If you have wide feet up front, you need an EE width, not a D. I can fit a Vapor okay, but I'm most comfortable in a Supreme. However, they both need to be EE width, same goes for a Nexus. The width difference between the Vapor, Supreme and Nexus is in the back half of the foot, not the front. That's what D, E, and EE is for.
Hi! My foot length is 29.2 and my width is 11 cm which makes my ratio 2,63 - 2,65. Which skates should I go for? Bauer 3d scan suggested Vapor 10EE but I am not sure about it. I tried x600 S17 and had small pressure in the widest area of my foot, 2 cm lower of my little toe on outside. After 3 minutes sitting and walking in them I stopped feeling any pressure ( I don't know why) But all in all the skates felt good, snug. My heel was in place and didn't move up and down when I stood on toes. Then I decided to go with Supreme 160 10EE. I didn't feel any pressure like in Vapor but heel was going up and down a little bit when walking, it wasn't completely in place. I also tried Supreme in D. It was good, snug. I think no pressure but may be too snug. I am not sure how it would on ice... What would you suggest? Any ideas?
got the same problem as you. im in between fit 1 and fit 2. if i go bauer fit 1 in vapor, i get pressure on the top of my foot but its snug. if i go fit 2 i get wiggle room around the sides of the toes and mid foot and heel slips out more. i cant seem to get a snug feel without pain or discomfort
Ice Warehouse thanks brandon appreciate the help guess ill have to go buy a new pair of skates when i get the money since mine are a size and half too big
This universal sizing chart confuses me so much. I measured today from heel to toe and its 10 inches. Or 25.4 CM. But that chart says im a size 8 shoe or a 6.5 skate. I wear a size 9.5 shoe and i tried on size 7 skates(according to the chart and my 25.4 CM) and couldnt even get them close to on.
Chase, My measurements were 26cm (2.5 ratio) for my left foot and 26.7cm (2.6 ratio) for my right foot. This would put me around a size 8.0 right? I've been using size 9D supremes for the last few years, so I initially assumed I measured incorrectly, measured again and got the same results without tracing under my feet. I'm going to stick to the supreme line, but maybe I should look into trying out some smaller sizes. What size would you recommend based on my measurements, and what width would you recommend in the supreme line? Thanks!
@@ice.warehouse Thanks Chase. I went and tried out a bunch of different sizes. 7.0D was too small. Ended up going with a 7.5D, although a 7.0EE may have been better, unfortunately they didn't have that size in stock.
That’s just an average 1.5 down size every skate brand is different I’ve had almost every skate on the market and I can say a size 8 is not the same in other brands
I measured my feet and got a 2.5 ratio for my right foot and 2.4 for my left, right now i have supreme s170 skates right now and they're loose in the heel and a little tight on the sides right before my toes. What would you recommend I try? I'm thinking either a Vapor EE or a jetspeed to help with the heel lock
Question for anyone who used this method and bought skates online. Was it accurate? And.... Is Bauer and CCM on par in the size department or are they off from one and another? Like for example a 9.5 Bauer may not be the same size as a 9.5 CCM for sizing.
Hey Chris, This is an accurate way of finding your skate size and width! Another general way is to subtract 1.5 sizes from your dress shoe size. So if you are a size 10 dress shoe, you'd be an 8.5 skate. Comparing Bauer and CCM, their skate lengths are the same! Brandon at IW Hockey
Didn't help me. I bought a Bauer Supreme S37 but they are super snug on the midfoot even though my width ratio is 2.4. Painful experience. I'll try to punch them out, wish me luck... My advice: Shop in-store.
Sorry to hear that. Did you get a EE skate by any chance? With your width ratio (2.4) and based on the chart, you have a wide foot and need a high volume skate. Supremes are a medium volume skate, aside from the new Fit 1, 2, 3 system found in the Ultrasonic, 3S Pro, and 3S. Brandon at IW Hockey
We've had a lot of success with this method! It can always happy if you reference skates you've worn in the past and how they fit too. Chase at IW Hockey
It's not accurate, suggests a size that is way too big. I wear a 12.5 shoe and a 9.5 Bauer skate, just bought them, fit great. This is more of a "pro fit" which has the toes pretty close to the end of the toe box, you could go up to a 10 for a more recreational fit. The chart on Bauer's website (same as Ice Warehouse) would suggest I wear an 11, I think that is generous and may account for people wearing thick socks. Most everyone I know skates in thin socks, if that is you as well I would think to start with the suggested size and drop it by 1 full size.
JJ Bienemann I was able to make a trip to Pure Hockey when I stopped through New Hampshire on my way home from deployment. While both CCM and Bauer have 3 fit profiles, the profile that I fit in for CCM was not the same as Bauer. The size for length and width was correct but I have high arches and the Tacks fit better than Supremes. I’m glad I had the opportunity to try them on because I know I would not have been happy if I blindly chose skates that my foot profile fell into with Bauer.
Hey mate great vid but I’m a little stuck my length is 28 width is 12 so what would be my ideal skate size? I’m thinking about getting the super tacks if that helps with sizing. Thank you for any help you can give
@@TheMusicTimeMachine. - So I'd recommend something like a 6.5EE Nexus based off that. It sure seems like you have a rather wide forefoot. What skate and skate size are you currently wearing? Chase at IW Hockey
@@ice.warehouse Hey there, I'm currently in Bauer Vapor x800 6.5-D (Can feel a bit of pressure at sides of my feet for sure) .... After two years of wearing them I've just got lace bite at top of my foot..2016 model..I've notice it's a completely different tongue/Lace bite protector on the new version..Guess people complained about lace bite?

@@ice.warehouse I saw, thanks! I actually did the tracing method and seems to have worked. Last time I did the conversion method, the shop sold me skates that are too big, so hopefully the tracing one gets me a better result.
@@brookeelayna7217 Tracing is a great way to go! Especially when it comes to determining the proper width. Let us know if you need anything else! Brandon IW Hockey
@@ice.warehouse Judging by my math I should be in a 6.5 Tacks 9060 or Supreme S27(I don't really know how to skate yet, thanks to the aforementioned too big skates that hurt) but I should be able to buy and try both and return them so long as they're not baked or sharpened? Should I go softer? I'm 5'7" and 185.
@@brookeelayna7217 If you are just beginning to learn how to skate, I would definitely recommend getting a softer boot. It will be much more comfortable for you to learn on! So that would put you in either the Tacks 9040/50 or Supreme S25. And yes, as long as they aren't baked, sharpened, or used, you can send back the pair of skates you decided not to go with.

So based on a EU36, your M4 Skate size would be an Intermediate 4.5 size skate. Best way to confirm is to follow the instructions on this video and measure the length of both feet in centimeters. Then, come check the detailed sizing chart on our website to see which skate size is best for you! www.icewarehouse.com/Bauer_Supreme_M4/descpage-SM4IS.html

@@ice.warehouse If I bought it from your website and it turned out to be too big, can I return it And get another size?
@@ice.warehouse and what size should I buy , 4.5 or 3.5 ?
Sorry for the late reply!
Yes, if you order through us you will have free shipping and have 90 days to return or exchange the skates. You cannot use or sharpen the skates, so try them on in your house and if you aren't satisfied you can return the skates for another size. We include a pre-paid shipping label and invoice with exchange instructions. If you have any more questions, feel free to call our customer service at 1-800-366-3070. I'd recommend starting with a size 4.5 Fit 2 skate!

@@ice.warehouse THANK YOU 🙏
my width is 2.5 on the dot and I'm a size 9-9.5 in gym + dress shoes, should I get nexus skates or supreme skates?
As long as you don't have a super high instep, a EE Supreme would be a great fit!

I have an older pair of Mission AC6's....and they're TOO NARROW. My feet are killing me after even just 8-10 minutes ;)
Looking to replace with something wider for casual use....any suggestions?
THANKS!
Those Missions are pretty narrow. Try a Supreme EE.
Hi, my width ratio fits the supremes however I got arch pains so I thought I would use a different insole which solved that problem however then I got lace bite pain on the top of my forefoot. Any recommendations on what I should do
Thanks for the reply, chase. I'm using the yellow superfeet that the manager of the store recommended. Also, did you mean to use different insoles with the Super Tacks or would the insole that comes with the skate good enough? Thanks.
i wear size 7 started with.x500 and had terrible.lace bite so found a pair of x90s in 7.5 and still getting pressure on.top.of foot unless i skate with tongue flop. my width is 2.5 would the.nexus or supreme line have a deeper boot to eliminate this issue.
thanks
My width average came in right around 2.7-2.8, would I be able to go for a vapour with EE or does it have to be supreme
You should just be good to go with the EE Vapor unless you have a high-arch or instep.

Hi, I want to know what skates should fit me better, I have a length of 27.1 cm and my width is 9.7, the ratio is about 2.79, and I just got into skating, I don't know what skates are the best for me, I hope you can help me, thanks
Thank you!!!
can somebody help me out? My length measurements are 28.4cm but my regular shoes are 43 44 EU size. Im confused and i dont know what skates i should buy
Use your length measurement to see what skate size you are. We have great sizing charts on each skate product page, located on our website. For a quick response, you're a size 10 skate for a close, performance fit, 10.5 for a bit of extra room if you prefer.

My foot length is 25.8 and my width is 10.1cm which makes my ratio 2.55. I tried on the Supreme s160's in a 7D but the width felt a little off. Shoulf i go for an 7E In the s160, or is there a skate that you recommend i try? Thanks
Felt like my was being squashed and had slight pains around the ball area. Would the 6.5EE be fine?
My length is 26.5 and width is 11.5. Ratio of 2.3 I already use Supremes 8.5 EE but I have excruciating pain on the outside of my feet. Should I use Nexus 9 D or Nexus 9EE?
Ice Warehouse Thank you for the quick response! Should I just wait for the new skate line this spring?
Ice Warehouse Cool beans! Thanks again! I love your videos!
My feet length are 27.9 and left width 11.5 ; right width 11.6, ratio 2.40 and 2.42
Does Nexus size 9.5EE will be OK ?
Thank you, you're very helpful as always :)
I typically wear a 12 shoe, but this method yielded an 11 and 27.8 cm. According to the chart I'd be in a 9.5 Bauer skate. Would they fit? I don't have any shops near me, so I have to order online. Thanks!
I don't understand why you highlight the 27.2cm size when your foot was 28cm long. Which size do you use?
The highlighted row was just an example of using the chart, sorry it threw you off. For 28cm it would have been all the skates in the 28.1cm row.
Brandon IW Hockey
Ice Warehouse thanks for the response! I measured at 28cm and went with the 27.7 based on the -1.5 size rule, and they seem to fit just fine. Just wanted to make sure I was in the ballpark.
@@seantoner4045 Glad to help and hear that you got the right fit! Stay safe out there!
Brandon IW Hockey
I don't get, i wear us size 9 shoe but if i put on 7.5 size skates my toe hits the cap big time. I think it's more like 0.5 or 1 size down for skates.
When we say 1.5 sizes down, that's a general sizing guideline. It's always best to confirm your fit by trying them before you use them!
Brandon at IW Hockey
@@ice.warehouse Thanks Brandon
lol.. we got the saame right foot. 1:39
I wanna buy the new x900, my normal shoe size is eu 41, should I buy eu 39 for the skates?(I’m 13 years old and my feet are still growing)
Ice Warehouse ok, thank you👍🏻
Hello, please tell me how to choose width...
My foot length 27,7cm and 11cm which makes my ratio 2.51.
Which size should i choose 9D or 9EE?(for Bauer NEXUS)
Ice Warehouse, does it mean that Nexus D is compared with Supreme EE? I've tried Supreme 8,5 EE... It's too narrow for me and I think even if I get half size bigger, it won't be comfortable too.
I have almost the same parameters of the leg as you, what size and width did you skate on nexus n1?
2,7 ill buy tacks
Hello, I measured my foot and lenght is 27.5cm and width is 10.4 which makes my ratio 2.64. Which size should I choose 9d Suprem or 9EE Vapor or......?
I haven't had issues with lace-bite in the past but which skates should be wider Supreme 9D or Vapor 9EE? Is it a noticeable difference between them?
@@zumburumba
The difference is very noticeable. Be aware that a Supreme is not wider in the front, it's wider in the middle and rear, and a bit taller. This means that where you feel the width difference between a Supreme 9D and a Vapor 9EE, is not in the same place. If the Vapor 9D is too narrow, a Supreme 9D will be too. Figure out if you're a D or EE, and then figure out whether you're a Supreme or Vapor. If you have wide feet up front, you need an EE width, not a D. I can fit a Vapor okay, but I'm most comfortable in a Supreme. However, they both need to be EE width, same goes for a Nexus. The width difference between the Vapor, Supreme and Nexus is in the back half of the foot, not the front. That's what D, E, and EE is for.
@@AB-80X Thank you. Supreme 9D :)
My normal shoes size is 40 so which size i should buy
39
Hi!
My foot length is 29.2 and my width is 11 cm which makes my ratio 2,63 - 2,65. Which skates should I go for? Bauer 3d scan suggested Vapor 10EE but I am not sure about it. I tried x600 S17 and had small pressure in the widest area of my foot, 2 cm lower of my little toe on outside. After 3 minutes sitting and walking in them I stopped feeling any pressure ( I don't know why) But all in all the skates felt good, snug. My heel was in place and didn't move up and down when I stood on toes. Then I decided to go with Supreme 160 10EE. I didn't feel any pressure like in Vapor but heel was going up and down a little bit when walking, it wasn't completely in place. I also tried Supreme in D. It was good, snug. I think no pressure but may be too snug. I am not sure how it would on ice... What would you suggest? Any ideas?
got the same problem as you. im in between fit 1 and fit 2. if i go bauer fit 1 in vapor, i get pressure on the top of my foot but its snug. if i go fit 2 i get wiggle room around the sides of the toes and mid foot and heel slips out more. i cant seem to get a snug feel without pain or discomfort
Chase, you have almost the exact same measurements as my foot, do you wear 8.5 Vapors? Or Supremes?
So if i wear a size 9 mens shoe i shouldnt wear a size 9 skate?
That is correct! Your skate size is actually 7.5
Brandon IW Hockey
Ice Warehouse thanks brandon appreciate the help guess ill have to go buy a new pair of skates when i get the money since mine are a size and half too big
This universal sizing chart confuses me so much. I measured today from heel to toe and its 10 inches. Or 25.4 CM. But that chart says im a size 8 shoe or a 6.5 skate. I wear a size 9.5 shoe and i tried on size 7 skates(according to the chart and my 25.4 CM) and couldnt even get them close to on.
yep. Remeasured and it makes more sense now, thank you
didnt get the best measurment. Traced my foot again, but also went to a play it again sports to try on sizes
Chase,
My measurements were 26cm (2.5 ratio) for my left foot and 26.7cm (2.6 ratio) for my right foot. This would put me around a size 8.0 right? I've been using size 9D supremes for the last few years, so I initially assumed I measured incorrectly, measured again and got the same results without tracing under my feet. I'm going to stick to the supreme line, but maybe I should look into trying out some smaller sizes. What size would you recommend based on my measurements, and what width would you recommend in the supreme line? Thanks!
@@ice.warehouse Thanks Chase. I went and tried out a bunch of different sizes. 7.0D was too small. Ended up going with a 7.5D, although a 7.0EE may have been better, unfortunately they didn't have that size in stock.
That’s just an average 1.5 down size every skate brand is different
I’ve had almost every skate on the market and I can say a size 8 is not the same in other brands
Indeed. I use CCM size 8 and Bauer size 7.
I measured my feet and got a 2.5 ratio for my right foot and 2.4 for my left, right now i have supreme s170 skates right now and they're loose in the heel and a little tight on the sides right before my toes. What would you recommend I try? I'm thinking either a Vapor EE or a jetspeed to help with the heel lock
Question for anyone who used this method and bought skates online. Was it accurate? And.... Is Bauer and CCM on par in the size department or are they off from one and another? Like for example a 9.5 Bauer may not be the same size as a 9.5 CCM for sizing.
Hey Chris,
This is an accurate way of finding your skate size and width! Another general way is to subtract 1.5 sizes from your dress shoe size. So if you are a size 10 dress shoe, you'd be an 8.5 skate. Comparing Bauer and CCM, their skate lengths are the same!
Brandon at IW Hockey
Nice video, but would be nice if you actually responded to people's questions. That would help the community and people with similar questions.
Didn't help me. I bought a Bauer Supreme S37 but they are super snug on the midfoot even though my width ratio is 2.4. Painful experience. I'll try to punch them out, wish me luck...
My advice: Shop in-store.
Did you get the S37's in EE? You are definitely on the wide side and I'd imagine that EE would get you pretty close to a solid fit.
Chase at IW Hockey
Sorry to hear that. Did you get a EE skate by any chance? With your width ratio (2.4) and based on the chart, you have a wide foot and need a high volume skate. Supremes are a medium volume skate, aside from the new Fit 1, 2, 3 system found in the Ultrasonic, 3S Pro, and 3S.
Brandon at IW Hockey
I like your video alot, but finally i don't understand...
Your length is 28cm and 27cm...
So why do you choose size 8.5 instead of 9.5?
Oh, thank you very much!!!
I can’t find a EE skate my size ANYWHERE
Hey Donovan, what skate size are you looking for in a EE-width?
Chase at IW Hockey
Has anyone tried this to see if it’s actually accurate? Hawaii has no hockey stores to try on skates
We've had a lot of success with this method! It can always happy if you reference skates you've worn in the past and how they fit too.
Chase at IW Hockey
Since there is no hockey store, why don't you start one?
Vivien Hounsounou I’m active duty military and will be moving off the island in the fall. I wish I had the time to open one.
It's not accurate, suggests a size that is way too big. I wear a 12.5 shoe and a 9.5 Bauer skate, just bought them, fit great. This is more of a "pro fit" which has the toes pretty close to the end of the toe box, you could go up to a 10 for a more recreational fit. The chart on Bauer's website (same as Ice Warehouse) would suggest I wear an 11, I think that is generous and may account for people wearing thick socks. Most everyone I know skates in thin socks, if that is you as well I would think to start with the suggested size and drop it by 1 full size.
JJ Bienemann I was able to make a trip to Pure Hockey when I stopped through New Hampshire on my way home from deployment. While both CCM and Bauer have 3 fit profiles, the profile that I fit in for CCM was not the same as Bauer. The size for length and width was correct but I have high arches and the Tacks fit better than Supremes. I’m glad I had the opportunity to try them on because I know I would not have been happy if I blindly chose skates that my foot profile fell into with Bauer.
hey guys my width ratio was 2.75, is this fine for vapors in D width? let me know what you recommend please (i'm 5'7" 135lbs)
Hey mate great vid but I’m a little stuck my length is 28 width is 12 so what would be my ideal skate size? I’m thinking about getting the super tacks if that helps with sizing. Thank you for any help you can give
Where do we send the tracings..?
I got 26L 11W so no wonder my feet hurt like a mf
Yeah.. those are pretty wide feet you have, you'll want to go with CCM Tacks EE or Bauer Fit 3 skates at the least!
Chase at IW Hockey
Well I've done this..and according to the results i should be in NEXUS! no way
What is your width ratio? I'll take a double look!
Chase at IW Hockey
@@ice.warehouse right = Length 26cm Width 12cm, ..Left ...length 25.5 ..width 11.5 cheers
@@TheMusicTimeMachine. - So I'd recommend something like a 6.5EE Nexus based off that. It sure seems like you have a rather wide forefoot. What skate and skate size are you currently wearing?

@@ice.warehouse Hey there, I'm currently in Bauer Vapor x800 6.5-D (Can feel a bit of pressure at sides of my feet for sure) ....

Vety strange. He wrote that his size 28 cm but chose 27,2 from the table guide.
Unfortunately, that was an oversight but a good catch on your part!
Chase at IW Hockey
Go ahalf size down for growing foot that does not make sense
Aaron Berry what he means is that instead of going a whole size down just go a half size to have some growing space.
And if you're a girl, you have to do extra math to find your men's size. XD

@@ice.warehouse I saw, thanks! I actually did the tracing method and seems to have worked. Last time I did the conversion method, the shop sold me skates that are too big, so hopefully the tracing one gets me a better result.

Tracing is a great way to go! Especially when it comes to determining the proper width. Let us know if you need anything else!

@@ice.warehouse Judging by my math I should be in a 6.5 Tacks 9060 or Supreme S27(I don't really know how to skate yet, thanks to the aforementioned too big skates that hurt) but I should be able to buy and try both and return them so long as they're not baked or sharpened? Should I go softer? I'm 5'7" and 185.
@@brookeelayna7217
If you are just beginning to learn how to skate, I would definitely recommend getting a softer boot. It will be much more comfortable for you to learn on! So that would put you in either the Tacks 9040/50 or Supreme S25. And yes, as long as they aren't baked, sharpened, or used, you can send back the pair of skates you decided not to go with.
