I've skated in CCM tacks the past three years and they were ok. I got fitted for a wider foot althought honestly I don't think I need a boot that wide. I have never really felt fully comfortable in them. I tore ligaments in my ankle about ten years ago and ever since I've been skating in these my ankle has felt awkward a bit. Not sure if it was just the sizing of the skate or not. I've had constant blisters as well and like I've said I've had these for little a little while and the holder is breaking, haven't been real happy with the hold up of the skates. What I'm currently looking at are the Bauer skates. I've seen some good deals on the vapors xxxx and bauer supreme 75. I would like a lighter skate since my Tacks seem to be quite heavy and wet by the end of a game. What are the pros and cons on the XXXX and the supremes? I actually could probably fit in a junior size and would like to take advantage of that in the bauer skates. My wife has a pair of low end vapors just to skate in and a size five has my toe just touching the toe cap. I would obviously get fitted,but I really just need to get a skate that fits right and is light and will provide solid ankle support. I've read a bit about the vapor xxv and the description had them listed for an intermediate player, which I am. Would the Vapor XXXX be too nice of a skate for someone like me? They seem to be for advanced players and I'm not advanced. Just decent. Don't want to get high end if they will only hurt me. Sorry these is so long winded ,but here is a brief summary..lol
1. What is the difference between vapor xxxx and supreme one 75?
2. Looking for a light skate and have had problems with an ankle...nothing too serious,but it does bother me after games...
3. Should the toe cap on the skate touch my toe? Or is that a tad too tight?
4. I'm an intermediate player would the vapor xxxx be too advanced of a skate for me and should I then look at the vapor xxv?
Thanks for the help
