My son and granddaughters play hockey and he wants me to join him in his pickup games when I am in town. Also, I am looking to join an 'older' age league close to home to get back into some action. Back in my younger days I played roller hockey with my son and when I go to visit him in Chicago, we always go to the rink for some stick and puck. Currently I have been borrowing his extra set (Bauer 160's) but with his custom insoles, my feet are aching in the first few minutes. His 160's are a 9.5D and plenty big on me, but his Bauer 190's that he plays with are an 8.5D and my toes do more than feather the toe cap, even when bending. I did try on some CCM RBZ's in a 9 and they fit perfectly, but had some tears in them, so I did not purchase them (used). I dont have an overly large foot, sneaker or cowboy boot size 10.5 but my ankles are probably on the slightly narrower side of average (definitely not larger than average).
My issue is that living in Florida, the nearest brick and mortar hockey store is over 65 miles away. I think I have narrowed my choice to a CCM JetSpeed Xtra Pro in a 9D that I found online (new), as it seems to be the perfect combination of what I'd need, then spend the day going to the brick and mortar for baking while I take the wife out for lunch [the joys of marriage compromise ]. I am looking to stay under $300 if possible. Any thoughts or suggestions?
