I don't understand the dislike for wax laces on Trues. I get that the wrap is so good that you don't really need to tie laces tight, but I use waxed laces on my Trues, cause I want the pressure of the lace up very specific and I don't want that to change during a session on the ice. I also hate when my laces come undone, which is less likely with waxed. Even though I tie pretty loosely, I still prefer waxed. I would discourage those who use waxed though in order to crank their laces to make up for deficient fit. Just mho. EDIT: Waxed laces also help to repel water, so you don't have soggy laces, particularly after skating on wet or soft ice.
