teamohiogocincyswords6111 1 Report post Posted November 20, 2018 After years of foot pain, I have finally decided to get custom skates because my feet have stopped growing. I've decided Bauer over CCM but I only have one concern about Bauer, How durable is that injected molded lacing system now? I heard of problems on the original 1x but since then how improved is it? Has anyone here had any experience with taking a shot or slash to the lacing system? I don't want to order regular eyelets due to the fact the tendon guard would become the stiff kind rather than the "free flex" one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JR Boucicaut 3759 Report post Posted November 20, 2018 The issue was essentially isolated to the original skate it debuted on, the APX2. The fact that they painted it ended up causing it. It is much better now. I've had to repair a couple after that, but they were caused by improper fitting skates (the facing was creasing around eyelet 4/5.) 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
