Howdy Damn dude. You need to catch a break. Keep fighting! Mark

When VH was doing the tracing method, they were much less known, essentially a niche product, I imagine most people who bought them knew what they were getting into and understood the realities of custom skates, what they can and can’t do. Now, with all the advertising and displays in stores, way more people have access without as much context for how custom skates are made and the processes involved. I assume True are getting a lot of people who expect “I’m paying a lot for these and they are custom skates. They will fit and feel like sneakers and everything will be 100% perfect out of the box and all of my hockey issues will be solved.” And none of that is true. Even custom skates need a tweak here and there. People expect them to be a panacea for all of their issues, and that can’t be the case with something as complicated as skates, so you’re going to see people whining and complaining without taking meaningful steps to make adjustments.

They should have done an ultrasound (as well as the xray), that will show any tears or disruption / inflammation to the lcl or surrounding tissue. An mri is the next level of resolution if the ultrasound and xray cannot identify the issue.

The additional backhand padding came off my Maine AX1 really cleanly:

Mri’s are expensive and docs have been moving away from just ordering tests in every situation. If it persists go see an orthopod.

I started a new job last week, on my first day in the office i was side by side with my boss who was sick.. im now home sick. I hate people who dont stay home when theyre sick.

Gotta agree here. I was so used to how tight retail skates (or loose) were on me, when I got my True's I thought they were horrible fit. Turns out they needed just a mild tweak, essentially only because my fitter decided to not shrink wrap me right off the bat. Once I had them baked and wrapped... they felt so good on the ice. The way the skate fits is just not the same as your retail 1X or FT2, etc. Now that I've spent a few hours in the boot, I'm 100% used to it and I'm all about it. As long as your fitter scanned you properly I see no reason why the boot would be a really bad fit. Little tweaks are to be expected still IMO. I've never had a single skate my entire life that didn't need some kind of adjustment.

Ever see an Octogun?

Whatever you do, don’t go to Buddy at Paramus park. That guy is a total POS
