IIRC CCMs run wider than Bauer Vapors throughout the foot. Flatter arch. Similar to a Reebok fit. Sizes are comparable to other skate manufacturers.

Some Sport Cheks should have enough selection from most of the manufacturers to make an informed decision. Stack a deal with some TeamAssist coupons!
I actually am coming from a Bauer Vapor XXII. If CCM's run wider, sounds to me they aren't for me then.

I wear size 9's and my RBK's are 7 1/2's, as were my old CCM 852's.
Ball of the foot is slightly wider than a Bauer and definitely less arch than the Bauers.
Also, the CCM's have a V styled heel whereas the RBK's have a U shaped heel so the fit is different. Definitely have to test fit them.
CCM changed their book designs when RBK bought them and the RBK's fit more like the old CCM tacks.
Hmm...with this info I may pass on CCM's then. Maybe if I have time this wknd, I'll swing by a store and try on a pair. Thanks!
