If your foot is fairly wide then the sides of your foot are compressed in the D width skates which is what makes the D width feel a bit shorter. As others have mentioned it could also be the bigger heel in the EE that allows your heel to sit further back.

I wouldn't count on the 7EE being that much narrower in the heel - if you have significant slop at the ankle in the 7. I've worn Flexlites in the past and the forefoot in a D Flexlite is similar to an E or EE in other models, but the heel is still narrow.

The best thing is of course to try them on in your size, but if that's not an option I'd lean toward the Flexlites if a wide forefoot and narrow heel is what you're after. Thanks althomal1! I don't have a lot of slop in the heel, but I do have to crank down pretty hard on the laces at the second from top eyelet to get a good heel lock.

Some of that could be the bit of extra length? Based on what I have shared, would you suggest a 7D Flexlite or a 7. Would the narrower heel push me to a 7.

You shouldn't have to crank the top two laces to avoid heel lift - tightening the 3rd and 4th laces to achieve a secure fit is fine but you don't want to overdo it and end up with lacebite , but most people want some mobility in the ankle area at the top at least I do I like to only gently snug up the top couple laces and others even skip an eyelet or two at the top.

Toes brushing the end with the knees bent is ideal and you'll get a little more room after they break in and the padding in the heel compresses. As for the forefoot, that area should expand enough if the pressure is minor when you bake them and break them in as long as it's before the toe cap - if the issue is with the toe cap itself that may not go away.
