If the 6W fit without baking, I might even try a 5.5 or a 6R. They open up significantly. Baking is an absolute MUST in trying these on. I would not go for the 6.5. I'm in size 4R, and constantly debate whether I could go down to a 3.5. I have some room, but my ring and pinky toes are slightly more than brushing the cap, so I've stuck with the 4, as I think the 3.5 would be uncomfortable on those toes even though I have a bit of room on my other toes. For comparison, I was in Grafs in a 5W and Ribcor in a 4.5D to get similar length and width. The TF7s are still wider than either. Most of the shops around me have told me they do not recommend the saran wrap method. I still don't understand entirely why, except for the time involved. A good compromise is to have them "massage" the warm boot around your foot. I just did this on a second bake of my right boot, pressing in on the ankle and heel area and it seems to have tightened it up. I just picked up a pair of TF9s as well and the difference in the tongues is noticeable. If you feel like you need a bit more volume and room in the TF7, check out swapping the tongues to the thinner TF9 version. I'll have my first skate on them tonight and can report back how they feel in action.

They will put them on sale when they hit a certain amount of remaining stock. They did the same with Mission release where the fz were still full price when the wm line dropped. Personally I don't wear vapors but I'm really baffled by the decision to only offer in fit 2.

You own a hockey store and seem like you are mechanically inclined and enjoy experimenting with new ideas and tinkering with stuff. Be the change you want to see in the world.

On the flip side of your knees are too far forward it'll also affect the skate fit. Or heel pocket may be too deep and ankle cup position may be slightly off. It's best to have your knees just above the toes imo. Having your leg completely straight is unacceptable though. The staff members really need to get proper training. I'm glad where I am, theres a LHS that has been selling vh/true since vh first came out, and it's the same/only guy at the store that does the true custom process.

If you're after pro spec and hardware, try to snap up a pair of the 2XR Pro Skate while you can

In March 2021 I found and bought used Tour FB 500 from a girl 50 miles from me. They were like new for $120. Still Quality Check and Made in China stickers inside and welt in the middle of wheels. It looks like she rode tree times around the house. They are a white one, so I always clean them😀 But they look awesome. I think they were the only one in whole Europe. They are size 7 / EU 40 and 26.5 cm insole length. Like a Alkali size 8 and Easton 7.5. They are a little bit narrower than Easton and Graf, but no pain from them. I feel that two front wheels are in a cavity. Skates are more closely to surface. I feel on them like on old ccm tri-di frame.

I got the 85 and love it. Great choice, thanks.

I use the standard insert on the R1. Had the O1 and wrote a comparison between the two a while back (it might be in this thread). Standing still the O1 required you to stabilize yourself more (I had the center bolt very loose), but in actual use I found them both to be very similar. The R1 chassis doesn't move as much as the O1, but when you're skating around it was difficult to tell the difference between the two. In my comparison I literally had the R1 on one foot and the O1 on the other

$85 off sidelineswap. liners and loops were cut which I'm not thrilled about, but otherwise they're barely used and can't beat the price for pro stock franchises
