I currently have my tongues so that the velcro tab is even with the tab on the tongue, so there's not much of the tongue in the toe cap. Then I put the powerfoot inserts into the top of the toe cap, using the bottom edge of the tongue to hold it in place (not adhering the inserts yet until I'm sold on the fit - but they stay in place when "wedging" them into the tongue, if that makes sense. Even if I'm sold on the fit, I might not use the adhesive at all, since I'm worried it might gunk up the velcro over time.) I tried lowering the tongues at one point before I put the inserts in, but I didn't like the feel, as the tongues are a much less forgiving material than the foam of the inserts. With that said, with the inserts in, I get a very snug, but soft fit on the tops of my toes.

Just figured out a way to use the Powerfoot without cutting anything. Put adhesive loop Velcro on the Powerfoot that faces up so it actually just hooks into the velcro tab by the toe box... This way u don't need to permanently stick the Powerfoot onto the toe box as well.... 🤙

Once I got good enough to justify VH skates, the presence of the logo would be neither here nor there, it’s the performance that counts. But given a choice, I’d lose the logo.

Las Vegas ice has a pro shop with Mako II skates in various sizes. For those looking for a pair.

Yes, its the space above the toes. If there is space there the toes and the forefoot can lift, this lift can result in loss of energy. Whilst I'm not going to comment on the energy side, I will say it works to help secure the foot into the boot. As I skate without laces, my Bauer skates are loose on my foot in the forefoot area, with powerfoot inserts fitted I get a really good lock in the forefoot.

When I got scanned, they did the 3d scan for each foot, but then also took pictures and took a bunch of information, which included my past skates (model, size, holder/runner size) and any issues that I had with them, including whether I had them punched, stretched in any areas.

So after reffing last night, I realized it is the tendon guards flexing when I walk that is the squeaking noise. Glad it's not the light speed edge holders

As some of you know, my wife is battling breast cancer. She decided that she wanted to play hockey a couple of months ago and has been playing since last month. She wanted a pink stick, and so the fine gentlemen at Warrior did these up for her. Thanks to Keith and Doug!
