I wouldn't be overly concerned about it. I believe @Colins had indicated that his son has hyperhidrosis, so the eyelets are subjected to excessive sweat. Bauer skates are not immune to eyelet problems either. My last two pairs of Vapors had eyelets tear out and laces rip through the boot. The last pair were X70's that had less than 30 hours of icetime on them.

Finally made it into Pure Hockey to double-check against True's own brannock, as per instructed directly from True. Lo and behold.....their brannock says 8.5 or just under. They made the skate from a 9 and stuffed the toe box. Moral of the story: listen to the smart folks on this forum and don't depend solely on the scan! The more info they have to work with, the better off you'll be. Funny little side note: the reps at the store didn't even know they had a brannock specifically from True, I had to insist they look for it for me. The amount of misinformation / general lack of knowledge through this process has been nothing short of astounding for a big box store. Wonder how aware True is that they're paying the price because people aren't properly trained from the get-go? Something to ponder.

I saw some 70k's on sideline done up the same exact way. You may want to hit him up for royalties.

Was in a bad car accident in May breaking my wrist and forcing multiple surgeries and missing of SummerJam, had my final surgery last week so now onto PT. One step closer to hockey
