Ya, hopefully its wasnt too much trouble for you to write 10 words.
-
Can someone remind me if tuuks are compatible with the makos, the holes align properly?
-
I swore to never get another warrior stick because of their garbage blades, but hockey monkey deals are just too good to pass on sometimes. I got a couple of those for ~80$ shipped. 75 Flex Draper Lie 5. I remember paying close to 300$ a few years back for one.
-
I thought those would disappear eventually, I guess not.
-
Not everyone gets mako bumps.
-
I know some would say that the pencil test is important. I am not sure that applies to the makos. I consider myself having a low volume, skinny foot, never experienced any lacebite.... Still I don't pass the pencil test on my makos, and it doesn't bother me at all either.
-
Surprised like the nexus and you can fit in the mako, its maybe the shallowest retail skate on the market
-
I am not sure about that. All the skates I have had, the tongues eventually compressed in one way or another to form my foot.
-
Yes very normal. Even for the skinny feet guys like me. I struggle sometimes to put them on even after baking them lol.

2014 Sher-Wood Catalogue
icewalker_bg replied to JR Boucicaut's topic in 2014 Product Catalogue Reviews
Well that sucks, hate it when manufacturers do that, but I guess business is business. Seemed like a popular curve too, but good on Sher-Wood for coming up with a Stastny Lie 5 curve. Hopefully the EK15 2 comes out soon, so I can stock up on the clearance EK15 PP01 :) -
2014 Sher-Wood Catalogue
icewalker_bg replied to JR Boucicaut's topic in 2014 Product Catalogue Reviews
Is the PP01 discontinued on just not on the new T120? -
The original pair had the same issue as yours, even worst Id say, one of the holders was way way off, I tried them and my foot was wobbling badly. This is a replacement that I waited 1 month for Easton to send it to me. I am not dealing with Easton anymore, I think its safe to say this is my last Easton anything. F***** Easton lol. That company will never change. I have never had to send any other skates brand in warranty...I think I had to send Easton skates 4-5 times in warranty in the last 2 years, they just fit my foot that well.

Quick two questions for you guys. Since my mako crapped out on me, i ordered myself another pair of mako 1s, but the heating instructions paper was not inside the box. Was it 10min for easton oven and 6 min non easton oven, at 200f? Also, since it is almost impossible for easton to make a pair without defects, my holders are installed in a weird way. One is too far back , the other is too far in the front, theres maybe 1cm difference between both skates. Is it something to be concerned of, or its nothing that my body cant adjust to?
-
Alright, Ill give you reasons. Boots would crack like no other skate, skates will comes with defects and lastly, the padding issue with the mako one. I am far from being a big guy but after numerous mako one skates, all the padding collapses way too early and kills your ankles. I have seen the mako2 and m8 in person and the padding seems thicker, and its gen 2, so it should be better
-
I would stay away from the first makos and get the m8.
-
Mister Chris is a nice guy (even tho he is a leafs fan). He sold something breaking even with shipping just because he promised to.
-
Why do some shops bake skates for free in the states then? They do not know how to run a business? Who is 'we'?. Which store/franchise you work for? But good on you for letting people getting a real feel of the skate before buying.
-
You guys are really lucky with the customer service in the USA, here in Canada, Quebec at least, never have i heard anyone allowing baking before buying. As far as i know some shops even bake for free, here we have shops that charge up to 50$ for baking if not purchased in store.

Easton seems to be plagued with durability issues when they come out with great fitting and performing skates (I guess most would agree on this) skates such as the s15, s17 and the mako. They did not improve much from the s15 to s17 but it looks like most issues are addressed with the mako 2, or I at least I hope for their sake. When they come out with great more 'traditional' skates which are amazing durability wise (EQ50, RS), people seem to ignore them.
-
The easiest thing to do is to give them a call and see what happens, they might help you since youre just over a month warranty, dont delay. Hopefully they can replace them for you with the new Mako 2 which supposedly has upgraded and more ankle padding....
-
Is that why you don't answer your pm's any more?
-
I have posted a picture a few pages back of my stock Mako's 7D, one skate was 860gr and the other 870gr, not sure if the pic is still up because of the site blackout. http://modsquadhockey.com/forums/index.php/topic/61887-easton-mako-skates/?p=998031 That is with ~10 sharpenings already, must be even heavier new. Oh well, it is what it is, I still like them A LOT, and I am sure skates will only become lighter.
-
I am not sure what is so hard to understand and why you guys are computing so much over a simple comment that I don't like heavy skates, just like some guys don't like heavy sticks, I cant stand heavy skates. I am not going to make tests and isolate things, it is very simple, with lighter skates it feels better on my feet and in my head since I don't have to think about them. Continue with the thread about the Mako skates now.

Doesnt hockey monkey. Com ship to UK? I know they have ridiculous shipping prices when it goes out of US but it might be worth it considering the euro.
-
Dont you think your local retailers can answer that better than us? Just give them a call and ask when they'll be stocking it.
