Found these lurking in the depths of PSH

Got my skates today, going to skate with them later tonight so I will post some thoughts on that later. Initial thoughts from seeing them/getting them baked, etc. The fit - Wow. They really do feel like a "comfy shoe" when you put them on. They feel NOTHING like a traditional skate boot. This is a true wrap around your foot, different from anything I have ever tried. I have had 3(!) reconstructive foot surgeries due to genetically collapsed arches and also Haglund's deformity. Needless to say, I have been a prime candidate for custom skates for years so finally getting them is nice. The presentation by True is pretty impressive - it has a very Apple-like feel to it once you open the box up, with magnets in the flaps and a new car smell. Very nicely done and I know it's just a box but when you drop this kind of money on something, it's nice to see the extra effort put in. I somehow ended up with VH/Step holders instead of True branded ones, not sure if that was intentional or not but it's not a big deal to me. Here are some pics I took, can't wait to hit the ice tonight :)

Beautiful. Great packaging too. Much better than what my VH came in! Haha
