Wide Skates from Bauer and CCM

In selecting skates, the fit is as crucial as the size to optimize your skating performance and prevent foot discomfort. For those with wide feet, a wider pair of skates is requisite. Renowned brands like Bauer and CCM offer models where users can choose the required width. Bauer designates their skate fits as Fit 1, Fit 2, and Fit 3 – with Fit 1 being the slimmest model and Fit 3 the widest. Conversely, CCM labels theirs as Tapered, Regular, and Wide.
