Basics of skate sizing

When shopping for a new pair of hockey skates, it’s crucial to find a pair that fit your feet correctly. If you’re a senior hockey player, be sure to take note of what width works best for your foot. Hockey skates come in a variety of widths, denoted by a letter: D, C, R, E or EE. The standard width is “D,” while a “C” cut is a bit narrower. An “R” width will run a little wider than “D,” with “E” being even wider and “EE” being the widest available option An age old trick for hockey skate sizing is the “Finger Test.” If you can fit more than one finger in between your heel and your skate when you stand up and lean forward in a hockey stance, that skate is probably too big for you.
