Need some help with skates for hockey?

I am attempting to start up playing roller hockey again in my adulthood and I need help finding the right kind of skates. My feet are quite wide 12.5 wide or a 13 shoe size. Also, I played football for years and have a minor Foppa case(a.k.a. weak ankles) although not as severe as his. Is there a certain brand or even specific skate model I should look at that carries wider skates with extra ankle support? Any help would be very much appreciated, thank you all!

I have a size 15 EE wide shoe, and Size 13 skate, I found that the roller hockey skates I liked the best were Bauers and Nikes, go to HockeyMonkey.com or HockeyGiant.com and take a look around, I found a nice pair for a decent price. Good luck.





Plain Ol%26#039;- The problem with having size 13 wide skates is it is VERY rare to find them in a store, I have played hockey all my life, and I would go place to place searching for a skate that fit, and i would always end up ordering them from the store anyways which makes trying them on not an option. If you order them online you can always send them back usually at no cost to you, what I did was ordered two pairs that fit on my credit card and sent back the ones that didn%26#039;t feel right, getting a full refund. 13 wide is not very common, so sometimes its the only option.
Reply:Mission is usually wider than TOUR or RBK
Reply:Don%26#039;t follow the first answer%26#039;s advice. As always, you should always try the skates on before you buy them. different brands fit differently, so make sure you try it on. Go to a proshop and get fitted at the very least if they don%26#039;t have a skate in stock that will fit- possible because of your wide foot.





And ask them about getting it baked. I don%26#039;t know about roller skates, but Hockey skates can be put in a special oven to be heated before you put them on so they form fit to your feet. Doing that if you can and just tying them up tightly enough should be enough for your ankles.
