What is a good brand of hockey skates for narrow feet?
I’ve been using Nike Bauer Supreme Enforcers, which were only 50 bucks but are much too wide. My feet move around inside them a lot, I’m thinking I should pony up a little more dough for a pair that actually fits. Among Mission, Tour, Easton, RBK, CCM and higher-end Nike Bauers which would be a good choice for long narrow feet? I wear 9.5 size shoes. Thanks!
It is important that you try on the skates. For example: My son can only wear CCM. All the others do not seem to fit as well. I like the Nike Bauer better for me.

Look for a C width skate, which will be narrower than a D-width (standard).
My honest recommendation is to go try on several brands as they all fit slightly different. Bring the kind of socks you typically wear with your skates. As with shoes, its best to go in the afternoon after you’ve walked around and your feet have swelled slightly.
One brand you didn’t mention is Graf. They’re a European manufacturer, by most accounts make great product, and, as such, may have a slightly narrower last than a North American company.
Good luck!

Try the skates on, all skate makes/lines have different fits. As far as width goes C is narrow and hard to find, D is regular and E and EE are wide. In Easton it’s R + W (regular and wide). The Bauer Supreme lines are quiet wide fitting to begin with anyway so that couldn’t have helped you.
The answer above me mentions Graf, they have narrow skates as he mentioned BUT they have MANY different fitting skates.
Take a look at this to see what foot you have and what Graf skate would fit you: http://www.grafcanada.com/science/every_foot.pdf
Generally…
Bauer – Supremes fit wider then Vapors
CCM – Tacks fit wider then Vectors
Easton – Stealths fit wider then Synergys
But your best bet would be to try skates on at a hockey shop and be fitted properly.
Good luck!

I have really small and narrow feet and ccms have worked the best for me. =]

I am sorry but every single one of these people are incorrect in their answers.
leafsfan, graf is a canadian company.
CJ, for bauer, supreme fits MUCH narrower than the vapors
as for easton, their one-piece boots are wider (such as the synergy 1500)
for a narrow foot i would recommend either a mission skate (narrowest brand available), a bauer supreme (the new, higher end supremes fit very narrow) or any other skate in a C width (harder to find, you may need to order online to find 'c' widths)
Best choices: Mission Fuel 120 AG
Nike Bauer Supreme 95 (or 90 from last year)
