    Very carefully/slowly and with a lot of scrunching.

    Right now it’s just a Singer 4432. I’m about to buy a JUKI DDL-5550 though.

    Well, this is what happens when you buy a sewing machine. I took the stripes and patch off a Warrior MSH Winterfest pant shell and put them on a Bauer girdle shell. Also just for funsies, here’s a fitted cap I took apart and rebuilt to make it go from a 7-5/8 to a 7-3/8. Im thinking I might start making goalie accessories. Toe ties, suspenders, etc.

    I just got one of those. Haven’t used it on the ice yet because it’s still a bit small for me but man the comfort and protection level is amazing.

    I completely sympathize because I know how frustrating it can be trying multiple brands and models to just continue to skate in pain. Eventually you just say to hell with it and get traced/scanned. Ill never forget, when I was about 3 years into my adult hockey “career” I had my teammates ask if I had taken skating lessons. I told them nope, I just got skates that didn’t hurt. But apparently the difference was noticeable! One piece of advice for you and everyone else buying Trues: you don’t need to tie them anywhere near as tight as you may be used to. When you have that much wrap you dont need to crank the laces to pull the skate around the top of your foot like you would with other skates.

    My old VH (last version prior to True) are still mostly flawless. I would definitely have zero concerns about longevity.
  7. IPv6Freely
    Good call, I’ll give that a try.

    I’ve started having pain over the last month or two. Just below where the big toe meets the foot. Almost like there’s something digging into the top of my foot there. I can’t figure out what it is.

    The only fishbowl I’ve used that didn’t fog was the original avision mask. Even their second version did. I’m curious about this one though now that I’m in a CCM bucket.

    Let’s get back on topic.

    There’s always the standard clear plastic ones too.

    Pasternak and Nylander are really close. I can see the Kopitar comparison for sure. Anyway, let’s get back on track.
  14. IPv6Freely
    Pasternak is definitely not the first 88 that comes to mind

    His helmets always look way too small for his head
  16. IPv6Freely
    What do you mean?
  17. IPv6Freely
    I would recommend that too unless that won’t work for you.
  18. IPv6Freely
    Sorry, what?
  19. IPv6Freely
    I wouldn’t expect everyone to be able to. But I can.

    My story is really simple. I tried just about every model skate (in my price range) that was available at the time spending easily $1500+ and making back only a fraction of that selling them used. I finally said screw it and bought OG Makos and bam... no more pain. Then when I switched to goalie I started with Bauer Reactor goalie skates and had the same pre-Mako pain again. Since there was no goalie Mako I decided I wasn’t going through the process all over again and went straight to VH. Still the best hockey equipment decision I’ve ever made.

    I don’t care about the cosmetic issues with my skates. I just don’t. Having something that doesn’t hurt my feet far outweighs anything that could be cosmetically wrong with them. That said, I completely understand why people are bothered by it. It shouldn’t happen. I always joke that “first world problems are the worst problems because they’re always things that shouldn’t be problems in the first place”. I think the QC issues True continues to have kind of falls into that category. You may say it’s being nitpicky about things that don’t really matter. But at the same time they shouldn’t need to nitpick things that are easily fixable if they’d just put an ounce of time and effort into their QC process. I will say though, I saw a bit of irony as I was picking excess glue off my wife’s new Bauer skates...

    I think he meant people aren’t complaining anywhere but here, so shops don’t know about issues.

    When I go through a ring or the filter light comes on, whichever comes first.
  24. IPv6Freely
    Whichever fits you and you find most comfortable.

    Less safe is more better!
