Roller hockey skates size E width compared to size D?

I recently bought Mission BSX skates in a size 8E online. No shops had the Mission BSX skates in a size 8D so I had to buy the 8E's. Is the E width that much different from D and will I hurt my ankle or have wider feet due to the extra space in E widths?

Every skate manufacturer cuts their skates different. The difference in width shouldn't be too bad, you might actually find that they fit better than D width skates. When you get them, IN YOUR HOUSE, try the skates on and lace them up. Do NOT go outside with them! If you do and the wheels show signs of use, you won't have the option of returning them.





If you feel your foot sliding around at all, try putting them on with a second pair of socks. I don't usually recommend this because a second pair of socks will cause one more layer to cause friction, and friction causes blisters. (This is going to sound stupid, but socks come in sizes too, so making sure you have socks that fit will help cut down on any chance of blisters.)





If it's only the ankle that is loose, you can buy ankle pads to put inside the skate. Don't just tape the ankle. If you do that, then you're going to break the boot in weird and I guarantee that not only will the boot break down quicker than it should, and it will also cause problems with your skating. Depending on your age, could even cause problems with your feet if you are still growing.





Remember - Skates are supposed to fit snug. Not loose, not tight...snug. If they don't fit right, return them. Your feet will thank you, you'll skate better, and your skates will last longer if they fit right. It's better to return the skates and get a different brand / model that might not be as cool but fit right.
Reply:There usually isn't much of a difference. If it becomes a problem however, you can just wear double socks and put tape around your ankles.
Reply:Sorry - ice hockey questions only around here - that is a 50 point deduction for you...
