umm what? The p08/Oshie curve opens more than the p28.

Yes, I'm a medium in both pants. The old Super Tacks (10+ years old) were roomier and heavier. The Jetspeeds are more form fitting, but there is a lot of stretch fabric through the crotch so I actually feel like I've got better range of motion. I'm 5'10, 165 lbs, w/ 32" waist which puts me squarely in the medium category of most brands size charts.

I had ankle placement issues. Both outside ankle bones were well forward of the pocket. You need to get them punched. They need to sit on the punch over night and you may have to do it again. @JR Boucicaut did mine. They can be fixed but you need someone really good and patient.

Learned this from a figure skater...you can pick up little foam donuts at most pharmacies. Place one over the painful area and wrap your entire ankle with a few layers of foam pre-wrap to hold it in place. Then tape over it or just put your sock on and it will stay in place. Should keep you going until you can get your skates fixed up.

The p08 is much more open than the p28 imo. Older Gionta type of you can find them?

Howdy, All I can tell you is that I wanted exactly what you're asking for.. A P28 with a more closed face. I just compared the P28 clone I was using (TC4) to the P30 I switched to, it seems exactly like a P28, except the toe is closed instead of open. Blade length and lie are essentially identical. The P30 is a touch more rockered / has a little less heel and the toe isn't _quite_ as rockered / pointy as the P28, but they're extremely minor differences to me. The only noticeable thing for me on the ice is that the toe is more closed. I've never had a P46,so I can't help there. I had a W71 a while back and and don't really remember it being like a P28/P30... I just remember it having a pretty deep / wicked curve. I no longer have it though, so I can't directly compare.

Get them punched, as long as the lhs knows what it is doing it shouldn't be a problem. I have punched dozens of skates for an ankle pocket closer to the eyelets.

I dont lace the top two eyelets in the AS1 or FT1/FT2 and dont lace the top eyelet in the TRUE skates. I think in my next TRUE order I am going to ask them to use fewer eyelets and not to put in a top eyelet.

Just go to his second wedding. It's fine. Also. Interested of course.
