    If I recall correctly, the XL steel is standard steel with a longer profile. If correct that would mean any steel can be converted to XL steel. Regardless. You should be able to get 254 to feel like 263 by simply profiling your current steel.

    I baked them acording the instructions that came in the box. The heel and ankle molded nicely, but the forefoot would not. So, i dont know.. I returned them while i still could! I can still use my Vapor 3X skates, but i need some extra silicone pads between the big toe joints. Vapor Fit3, with old Vapor EE forefoot and Old toe cap would be perfect.

    They may not be wide enough for your feet but it doesn't mean they aren't for wide feet. Just depends HOW wide you need them. Depending how long you baked them it also could've not been hot enough. And you would t be punching the forefoot, to increase volume/width you'd stretch them which is a different process, but you'd need to leave it at the shop for a couple days at least to do it properly.

    I had to return the Cats.. They are not for wide feet even tough the size was 7.5 wide.. Even after baking they squeeze my forefoot way to much. Not even punching the entire forefoot out would be able to fix the width issue. Back to tweeking my 3X instead..

    I have used a kit from Amazon to repair a significantly cracked True boot. The kit (True Composites) comes with a sheet of composite fabric a bottle of epoxy resin and a bottle of hardener. I did the repair last year and the boot has held up perfectly. You would only need to mix a little of the resin and hardener to cover the area of concern. https://a.co/d/d0Bzp0j

    That’s exactly what they said. Haha. Either way I’ll just fill it myself because it’s driving me nuts. Is there a specific epoxy I should use? Besides that skates feel pretty good, a little fatigue in my feet after about an hour on the ice but I think it’s the pitch of the holders.

    Anyone know where I can buy this steel? I see it very sparingly on the internet. Looking for size 254 edge steel. Curious if this could offset putting a larger holder on my skates

    I see these a lot with trues. They will tell you it's not an issue. Epoxy and cf won't be compromised from water. And that's just the outermost layer. The problem I have with this is not only is it sloppy/lazy work, that area technically is structurally compromised as you can probably pick it with your fingers and cause the CF to fray. The outermost layer is mostly cosmetic and likely won't affect the OVERALL integrity of the boot, but still not acceptable imo when you're spending $1500 bucks. The good news is you can easily just fill those with epoxy yourself. That's what I would do vs shipping them back to true to do and pose the skates for 1-2 weeks.

    I had problems with Bauer rubbing the sides of my big toes, it could be painful, even with customs. Those hard toecaps are horrid. My True TF9 opened up noticeably after baking. but were still tight round the forefoot. Each time I skated, they felt just a bit looser and today they are like cosy slippers. A year later I bought TF9 inlines, and the weird thing is right away they felt just like the older TF9. So either they were a tad wider, or my feet gradually adapted i.e. changed shape. Unlike Bauer, the side pressure from the TF9 was spread out over a sizeable area. Anyway, yes the TF9 forefoot expands a little bit when heat moulding. It has a thin plastic skin over a carbon fibre shell, except at the very front where it is thick plastic. I think Cats are pretty much the same. On this page you’ll find a photo showing the construction of the Cat Pro: https://www.truetempersports.com/en-us/hockey/hockey/hockey-more-information/custom-skates/catalyst-pro-player-skates.html You won’t get more volume, but it should squash down a bit.

    On IW's website, these are listed in the low-profile(low volume) section. Can anyone confirm? Would love to purchase a low volume retail skate, and these seem to be the only option online?

    I just got my new True custom skates over the weekend, and noticed some abnormalities in the coating on top of the carbon. I had a pair made in 2018 and they didn’t exhibit this so not sure if it’s normal or not. Last thing I want to do is skate them and have an issue with water creeping and ruining the boot. I sent photos to True as well. I know these are hand made and am aware there can be some issues at times but just want to make sure I won’t have an issue down the line.

    ok thank you!

    I would ask for photos, because those photos aren't the PPROC that have been posted before. Here is another pair that show off the V10 I mentioned: https://sidelineswap.com/gear/hockey/pants-girdles-shells/player-pants/8807330-ccm-new-senior-women-s-small-mhpproc-custom-hockey-pants-pro-stock?srsltid=AfmBOorEd-rJCLZeQQ57a8zUjDjmY6L4Afmjsb6jg0GCFDPhXD8fWzcJ

    No. The Seth Jones on PSH.

    Are you talking about the Perron pants? If so they are based on the V10 model.

    Anybody know about the MHPPROC.SP? From pictures it looks like HP UCLP. Is it just a custom embroidered HP UCLP? Thanks.

    Not sure about True, but retailers sell them at a significantly discounted price. Typically online and under a different name or as an ‘outlet’

    With the skates that have returned under that warranty, what do True actually do with them?
  24. swede
    I guess so.. well, the True 30-day money back fit warranty applies also in Europe, so i guess i don’t have anything to loose baking them.. interresting to see if they can expand that much width wise in the forefoot and how it will effect the toecap since the toecap is glued on the outside.

    I love the Vapor 8 and 10 perforated steel though. I was skating on some again with the Vapor 10s I picked up. I was really enjoying the feel of those blades until one of the Tuuks cracked on both towers. I've only skated on LS perforated steel a couple of times. I don't really remember it being all that different from standard LS steel.

    The original black set that debuted on the Vapor 8 did, but the LS2 perforated steel from the Vapor XX era had wide wedge perforations that lined up with the holes in the holder bridge as seen here on the best player ever deliberately excluded from the Hockey Hall of Shame:

    The tuuk perforated steel has a bunch of little triangles. This looks more like blade tech steel with the notches. The true shift steel has one notch in the back and these look just a couple more. Maybe for weight savings.
