Finally skated with my new Trues in a game tonight and I am very pleased. The length, which had originally concerned me, was a non-issue. Took a little getting used to the increased forward pitch from the Step holders, but it wasn't too bad (maybe I'll adjust profile or I'll try to get used to it). Stiff boot (w/ added impact protection), which I prefer, but plenty of fore/aft flex. I wouldn't say it felt like a "slipper" as some people say, but it was definitely the most comfortable skate I've ever worn, and feels already broken in. Considering in the past, I would buy retail and then have to punch/stretch areas, break in using bunga pads, it was nice to skip that entire process. Sad to get two decent cut marks on the toes already, but so be it...they're hockey skates, not designer shoes.
