    Awesome to see this thread still going strong almost 20 years later! I don't have any photos on hand but I've been rolling around in Super Tacks on Marsblade I haven't played roller competitively in 15-16 years now but still mess around with my younger son who is almost 12

    This is true.

    I totally agree. I see so many guys using Superfeet in skates they've never skated on. If I know them well enough I ask and the answer is always the same "the guy recommended them". I've used Superfeet Yellow, Speed plates & Orthomove insoles along with retail and pro stock insoles. The Superfeet and the Orthomoves were strictly to take up volume. The Speedplates were the only ones to offer an advantage I could feel. They came with the skates and I did not use them in other skates. The best of the bunch or at least my favorite were the insoles that came with a pair of CCM pro stock skates. They were a little thicker than stock with a bit more density....comfy without sacrificing feel.

    I've used Speed Plates and Superfeet carbon, but right now, I'm just using the stock insoles. To start, I'd want to make clear that I've never had foot issues let alone arch issues. I used Super-feet for about a year after getting new skates. They were very comfortable and offered a lot of support. After a year I was fiddling with the set up of my skates, and I ended up putting the stock insoles back in just as an experiment. I had expected to go straight back to the Super-feet. When compared to the Super-feet, the stock insoles felt rock hard, which I expected. What I didn't expect was for my arches to start aching almost immediately. Before I started using Super-feet my arches did not ache when using those stock insoles. I also noticed how much thicker the Super-feet insoles were in comparison, and how much better I could feel the ice/my edges with the stock insoles.To make an analogy, the Super-feet insoles felt like I was driving a mini-van with a super soft suspension. The stock insoles felt like driving a sports car with a stiff suspension. In addition, the Super-feet lifted my heel up more and pitched me forward, something I really didn't notice until I went back to the stock insoles. For some this might be a plus. For me it was a minus. When I skating with the stock insoles for the first time in a year, I started to think about something odd I noticed with my feet after started using Super-feet. I play softball in the summer. I'm a fielder, so there's lots of running. During the past summer, I noticed after every game, my arches ached. I thought it was just me getting old. When my arches started aching when I went back to the stock insoles, I decided to stop using the Super-feet to see what happened. It was a week or so before my arches stopped aching when I skated, and the following baseball season, my arches did not ache after games. And years later, they still don't. I say this not to denigrate Super-feet, or any insole. I'm sure for some they are the difference between being able to play hockey and not. It's just that my experience makes me think supportive insoles are being overly pushed on the public. With muscles, it's use it or lose it, and if someone who doesn't need insoles starts using them, I suspect it could become a self-fulfilling prophecy. Where too much support weakens the arch. Obviously, sample size of one. With speed plates, I only used them for a few games. I felt like they didn't offer me anything better than the stock insoles. They felt harder, and I really didn't notice much, if any, difference in performance. I pull my insoles after every game, and pulling the speed plates out was a pain. So with not much to gain, I went back to the stock insoles.

    My son uses the Warrior cut resistant socks and really likes them. So you can check them out.

    If that's just a foam with no support, I've taken insoles out of old sneakers and used them when the stock insoles with the lip were causing issues.

    For what it’s worth, I prefer the thin stock insoles too. Every time I try a fancy aftermarket insole, it makes my feet feel crampy and tired. It feels similar to breaking in new skates, but doesn’t get better. Once, I posted in the “want to buy” section on here asking for insoles, and someone gave me a pair of theirs, since they used superfeet or something similar. These were mako insoles going into supremes, so I think as long as the size is correct, the branding probably doesn’t matter.

    My son has tried a few different pairs and has reported that he likes these the best: https://aycane.com/en-us/collections/youth/products/blade-pro-skate-socks

    Ice warehouse just released videos on the stick. They're just re-skins.

    Then you should be able to get something like this at a drug store or dollar store or make one yourself with a similar flat piece of foam?

    I was just in Pure Hockey last week and saw these new "Deluxe" models. I too thought they'd be lower end retro sticks, how Bauer did with the Synergy, but they felt and were priced the same as the top end models just with special graphics which I thought was a much better approach. Can't add anything definitively but they did feel the same as the current QR6 Pro and Alpha and were priced the same, I would also love to know for sure.

    I was trying to order another QR6 Pro in a certain spec and the rep (discount through an acquaintance) said it was out of stock now but they have the Covert Deluxe which I had read was an old-school stick they're bringing back so I declined. I wanted the latest tech and now that it's out, it seems to be similar specs to the QR6 Pro (PL188 / Carbon 25) but with old-style graphics. Can anyone confirm if this is going to be their only new low-kick stick for a while and if it's as good as the recent top tier sticks? https://www.icewarehouse.com/Warrior_Covert_Deluxe/descpage-CD.html

    Yes. I like a minimal footbed.

    Doing another big order with people if anyone wants to join in. If you do, please send me a message. This is the 4th order i've put together $145 each. It’s the full custom build

    It's close enough. CCM's P90TM has been tweaked over the years so I am not surprised to hear Sherwoods variant is slightly different. From what I gather, Warriors version is an exact clone of the Benn prostock.

    Just be sure to get the right flex and flex point. I'm personally a fan of the OG BLUE Mid kick and the High Kick VS models.

  24. Due to demand, this is for those participants who are wanting to purchase the other jersey/sock set.

    Thanks, I’ll give it shot than I think!
  27. A2rhino
    I'd say yes that its the same as the CCM.

    If you went from a 10ft to a 10, 14, 8.65 you should be able to see a difference laid on top of each other...

    Just start a new thread. This is 11 pages of a specific brand.

    I'm using the Active Medium right now since my skates were custom for someone else and I wanted to eat up a little volume (I also added a thicker tongue and the combo worked perfect). These are thicker than Speed Plates which were really thin and hard (I had the 1.0 version), these have a firm layer on the bottom made of EVA which has a little give compared to the hard plastic feel of speed plates but not much, and a little cushion layer on top, overall it's slightly thicker than Superfeet but it doesn't have the plastic heel riser how Superfeet do so your heel isn't lifted. Sole also makes a a thin version which is just the firmer EVA material without the cushioned layer on top, this is probably still a little thicker than the Speed Plate due the different material (speed plates felt so thin and hard, the EVA on the bottom of mine is firm but not solid feeling if that makes any sense).

    I think it's impossible to discern any profile with the naked eye. That's the job of the Skatescribe laser. The real test is on ice feel. They'll have a nice, stable core feel to them.

    As an aside note (sorry for high jacking the thread)- has anyone tried KYC sticks? I’m fairly confident they’re made by the same manufacturer (could be wrong). I just tried their lowkick Skyline, and was super impressed. Really good pop, super light (340-ish grams) and seems pretty durable too. They only had 85 flex at the time, which is a little stiff, so I ordered a custom and was very impressed with their options, especially when ordering units of 1.
