Let’s begin.

The CCM Super Tacks AS3 Pros are some of the highest performance hockey skates available in 2023—and an excellent option for players with wider feet.

These are beautiful one-piece skates. The One-Piece monoframe allows for maximum energy transfer in these skates. This provides you with much more agility. 

While these are considered top-tier pro skates, the energy transfer makes these skates great for newer players who are getting used to stopping and starting. 

The skates offer a solid advantage in the game especially if you’re just getting the hang of frequently changing directions in the game.

The AS3s feature CCM’s brand new foot bed technology—Ortholite Ultralight footbed. It makes the skates feel nice and snug on your feet. Plus, they offer moisture wicking technology to keep your feet nice and dry during the game.

While they don’t have a ton of versatility when it comes to sizing (in terms of foot length), the AS3s are very comfortable—especially if you have wide feet. They also come with the option for an interchangeable tongue to get an even better fit (isn’t included in standard price).

Runner-Up: Bauer Supreme 3S Pro

Bauer’s Supreme lineup was designed to provide maximum power transfer and straight line speed.

When you pair Bauer’s “Fit 3” with the 3D Lasted Carbon Curved Composite Quarter Package in the Supreme 3S Pros, you get an incredible skate for wide feet.

While these skates aren’t our top pick for best wide-foot skates on the market, they offer the most bang for your buck.

Even though they’re still mid-top tier skates, and a bit heavier on the budget—they’re a few hundred dollars cheaper than the CCM Super Tacks.

Remember, if you choose to go with the Supreme 3S Pros, you’ll want to select a width of Fit 3 for wider feet.

Pros

  • Offers a great wider skate with Fit 3
  • Best value wide-foot skates
  • LS3+ runners designed to be longer-lasting
  • Very comfortable

Cons

  • Slightly edged out by CCM Super Tacks for wider feet

The Bauer Supreme S3 Pros are some of the best mid-top tier hockey skates available on the market.

Featuring a solid, stiff boot, they provide a great fit for players with wider feet.

The exterior of the skates is made from 3D Lasted Carbon Curved Composite which offers a very nice fit. 

These skates also have some of the best runners available. The LS3+ runners with the black coating are created for a longer-lasting blade. They also help decrease turning radius—making you more agile on the ice.

Overall, while they aren’t our top choice for senior skates for wide feet, they take the lead for best value overall.

If you have wider feet, but aren’t ready to drop $700-$1000 on new skates, then you’ll want to check out the Bauer Vapor 3X skates.

Overall, the Bauer Vapor 3X skates are a solid pair of wide skates for the price.

The skates are crafted with Flex Comp quarters which provide extra support and a lightweight construction.

This makes the feet feel very lightweight—possibly the most lightweight on the market for the price.

The runners are LS+, which is taller and allows for sharper angle turns.

The skates are also really comfortable for a mid-tier skate—with an asymmetrical toe cap, negative space around the toes is minimized as much as possible. They created this toe cap design based on scanning the feet of 800,000 hockey players.

If you’re looking for a great pair of senior skates for wide feet, but don’t want to drop a thousand dollars, then this is an impressive option.
