They seem about the same width and depth as the TF series.

Howdy, How's the width/depth? I'd have said that the TF7/TF9 were both wider and deeper than 'traditional D width skates'. Same hold true with the Catalyst? Also True, this is where you sending a pair to @Hills for review might save you money on that 30 day fit guarantee... Mark

Seems like an expensive endeavor for them. Instead of sending demo pairs to some high quality reviewers who can help steer folks in the right direction. I personally don't think I would drop the money to try them, even with the 30 day trial, without more information from folks that I trust.

PSA about the new Catalyst skates for those that will be ordering online without trying them on in-store. We have noticed they fit roughly 0.5 SMALLER than other brands. This is the opposite of the previous generation of TRUE TF series skates which fit 0.5 sizes LARGER than other brands. For example, in the TF9 I wear a size 7, in the Catalyst 9X I wear a size 8, in Bauer/CCM I typically wear a 7.5 (excluding the new Bauer Mach and CCM ASV-Pro skates, which I wear a size 7.0) My suggestion is to try them in-store and not order online if possible.
