  1. I think I got it at Ironman hardware store in Tai Kok Tsui. 21 Beech St. That was some years ago though.
  2. I am guessing he is referring to the bandaging (with duct tape instead) technique shown on the vh YouTube channel where you wrap from the heel and up around the ankle to get a tighter fit around that area. I can imagine this helps ankle fit but not sure it is enough in the heel itself. Good idea to try this first though as clamping is a bit more finicky to get right.
  3. I got the clamp at some local hardware store (I live in Hong Kong so I can't give you a store name useful to you). I just used my wife's hair dryer as it is a pretty powerful one, you can use a h leat gun if you can get ahold of one. The clamp does try to slip off so I just put pressure on the back of it to stop it from slipping backwards. You gotta hold it there for a good 15mins though to make sure it cools down and hardens with the clamp squeezed in.
  4. I had heel problems. I used a smaller clamp to squeeze in the Achilles just above the heel which created little heel locking bumps to hold my heels down. You could also try Stable 26 socks if necessary.
  5. Best to email Scott. I previously asked him if there is a limit to the number of times you can reheat and he said there is none. But I hadn't reheated as many times as you.
  6. Can you feed the t-nuts much under the footbed?
  7. Still need to rotate. The rotation is to help getting around the part below your outer ankles.
  8. I use wax laces but don't tie them that tight, I am just picky about how they are tied and unwaxed laces won't stay in place after I have tied them how I want them.
  9. You have to bake them. I couldn't get them on when I first got them. After baking they fit like a glove.
  10. A problem I always have is my leg hair just above my ankles seem to find their way through holes in the material and get pulled up and down as I play causing some irritation.
  11. I can only tell you that if you have seen different images of the skate of different designs, the current design is the one with the eye shaped "window" on the outside without the plastic wear guard (the 2 silver strips) behind the toe box. Also as far as colour customisation goes, they are not offering the same areas as before. Now you can customise the previously mentioned window on the outside and the diamond shaped area at the back of the skate. The reason given for this was durability issues. If you. Google search for images you can see examples of this. I got a pair recently and they are going great. I didn't care for the insoles though and put some Superfeet in them. I would love to get true custom insoles because of my really high arches but there is no where here that I can get them. I have to say that it is a good idea to bake them at a shop with really attentive staff that know what they are doing. The skates have very thin padding as they are supposed to fit the exact shape of your feet so you want to get the staff to really press the boot in all around your feet to get rid of any excess space. I had to do a bunch of adjustments at home with a hair dryer and a a clamp because the staff at the lhs were too busy to give it the attention needed.
