If you bought custom skates that were made for somebody else, I wouldn’t expect them to feel all that great.

I would say about 1mm per each donut pad.

A significant number of Mako lovers loved them in spite of that aggressive pitch. A lot of people swapped holders to tone it down a bit. Some of that pitch is in the boot, some in the holder and some the steel. You can still replicate that angle even in something as different as a Nexus skate. Shims will change your angle without affecting the steel. Buy the skate for how it fits your foot dynamically. Adjust for ice contact properties afterwards as these are primarily issues of the steel and holder (though in concert with the boot) and can be tuned as needed regardless of which boot suits you.

Very similar in the ability to mold to your foot and just overall comfort level. I’d agree to try to find some makos online if you can but otherwise I know I went from Mako to True and it was a pretty perfect evolution.

My last ~ 10 years of skates have been: Vapor XXX ---> Mako II ----> FT1 ----> FT2 ---> True If you were an EE in the Mako, you'll still probably be Ok in FT1/2 EE but also try Supremes & AS1 in D width. I gotta say though my friend.... none of those fit as well as the Mako. FT1/2 are very narrow in the toes, I had to go up a half size to fit in them properly, which then gives me some other issues. The above response is probably the most sound; search high and low for used Mako's if yous are messed up or potentially shell that $$ out for True.

Yeah, you should be fine with the Sr. Mine fits well, it just takes a little adjustment when you first put it on.

They make a Senior and Junior, the same way Bauer does. My understanding with all fishbowls is they are all Sr or Jr sizes. I've never seen an adult have an issue with the senior size fishbowls. Even most of the kids in high school that I know are using Senior sizes.

I did some research and I am realizing how much of a noob post this really is. 😑 give it to me

Don’t skip leg day

Pretty sure the difference is in the steel.

Your foot sounds like a perfect match for the Tacks line.

Yes MLX. Lets be serious not everyone know the history, hence why I put it out there for the OP. I now it is unlikely that Bauer will but we can dream
