I'd go 5030, no chance I'm putting 2020 on anything.

Hey @althoma1 wouldn't it just be more prudent, if he's going to swap holders, to just go to the xs holder if he's partial to step or lightspeeds if he doesn't have to have step? If you're anyway profiling the runners to -2 to offset the cxn pitch I don't see what the point of chasing down a discontinued holder and runners. Just looking at it from the other side, if he's 15 he's going to eventually have to get used to something else sooner or later, why not just do it now? Better to invest in something that's still in production IMO.

Having already swapped holders when we first switched from Bauer to Makos, I don't want to go that route again if other options are available. Since I've thought about it the past day or so, a negative profile should fix the issue, or at least one. Longer radius will fix another one If it were me, it would be a different story. I can/like doing stuff on the cheap and making it work. For a kid that will be traveling without parents and on his own soon, not the best. Plus he was looking forward to not having guys look at his skates and think he's the weird guy every time he goes into a new lockerroom.

Yeah, that was part of the thought equation for me. Actually, when Easton went out of business years ago, the thought was we'd buy a bunch of skates to fill the gap until something was available as an alternative in a few years. I assumed it would be Bauer, but ended up being True. So, now the time has come. At the end of the day, a negative profile or alternative holder is a simple solution if the boot works, especially at the TF9 price point.
