Being a Hockey Parent

I have to say, I would have preferred G5's, but these came home from the LHS today... I was not going to pay retail to put G5's on my feet, so my options changed...

These are actually an 11D....which blows my mind, as I am coming from a CCM 12E that was nowhere near too big. I wouldn't cry if they were an 11.5, but it didn't bother me enough that I blinked about saying let's bake, sharpen and ring them up. As far as the D as opposed to the E....I have no answer.... They felt good before the bake....???

Tried on a CCM U+10 in an 11, fit the same as you could imagine, though I still felt the Reebok was a little longer, though I assume that was just how my foot was lying in there. The Bauer Supreme and Vapor were MUCH shorter. The 11.5 felt like it would be a 10.5 in the Reebok....my foot wasn't close to getting in there length wise....

P.S. NOT A FAN of the Pump.... I cannot get past that it looks gimmicky...
