I'm an ice hockey player, first-time inline skate buyer. Any play or skating will be on asphalt.

Being female, I have smallish feet with a proportionally wide toe box. Being weird, my feet are also wide across the arch. Being in Tulsa, I have nowhere local to try on inline skates in anything like my size!

I ordered CCM Vector PF6, since I have Tacks I like and the Vectors are one of the few kinds with "E" (wide) sizes. They fit in the toe but are 'WAY too narrow in the arch. So I was thinking of trading them in for Mission He5500s, which are similarly priced and come in "EE" sizes. What I want to know is whether the Missions are wider than the CCM's in the arch, from someone who has tried both on.

The Vectors do fit in the toe and heel, but the fit through the arch makes my foot go numb.

Thank you!

Gear Stubbies or Big Daddys...check out other threads on this...

I still live in my stubbies, second pair, over 2500 hours of use, hyper comfortable...short/wide foot...

Thanks, I didn't find those to be very available -- but as it turns out Missions in "E" width fit well.
