Does anyone know where I can find skates that are wider in the width?
Thanks.

RB skates may fit a few millimeters wider than K2, but that's about it. No brands that I know of on the fitness end have width options. If looking at a hockey skate, you'll find several in E and EE widths.

Thank you.

Im brand new to skating and am looking for fitness during the winter. I race bikes
My feet have an extra wide fore foot. Which skate companies offer widths? Ideally, I need a boot with a wide toe box but regular width middle and heel. Any other "first purchase" suggestions are appreciated. Im highly fit and just looking to get some hard cardio in when the wind chill is too cold for optimal riding. No tricks, jumps, or insanity, just 1-2 hours of fitness per workout is all Im after. Would those little 76 mm wheels be okay?

I have size 11E feet. I was able to make due with Rollerblade RX100 size 10.5 US. Also use superfeet yellow insoles. Working well so far.
