I have retail Ultra tacks , which I like, but I would like a little more snug fit, bought the Jetspeed's , which are pro stock's my size ( 7.5D ) . did some research today & was saying has a tapered fit like vapors. daveski7 say's fit more like nexus , so when I get them this week, I'll see. Good deal but $350 shipped.

Was it the JetSpeed or the RBZ you thought had a Nexus like fit? I thought it was the RBZ that had the super wide and deep fit, but that they trimmed it up with the initial JetSpeed offering to the current slimmer-than-Tacks fit. RBZs were also red, but not JetSpeed branded.

Received the Jetspeed prostocks today , which I started this post about. they are much more narrow than my ultra tacks , which is a good thing. the seller say's they are 7.5D. if anyone can confirm that , by code on insole, that would be Cool , I'll post a picture. Just say's 7 1/2 D in marker on box

I liked the feel of the ft1's over vapors for sure . But had trouble with ccm's sizing . Does anyone happen to know if in the same boot you go down half a size so 7d to 6.5ee , is the 6.5ee a deeper skate in the same ft1 boot, essentially im looking for more volume & not sure if going from 7d to 6.5ee will net that, without switching to an ultra tacks boot.

I am in the original jetspeed size 6.
Today I tried on Ultra tacks in 6.5 and FT1's in 7. That's what the store had......
I know CCM changed sizing on the jetspeeds but it looks like they may have changed fit some as well. the ft1 in 7 was only slightly big on me. if i went down to a 6.5 i may have issues with volume but i don't feel like i have volume issues with my jetspeed 6.
for the ultra tacks in 6.5, they seem a tad too wide for my foot. the ft1 hugged my foot down the sides better. would baking the tacks change that? would it hug your foot closer? because everything else was spot on with the tacks. length, ankle lock, volume......
when the new tacks come out i'm going to take my jetspeeds to the store and try on tacks and ft1's to compare to my current.
