If I’m understanding the vague lineup guide correctly, I’m guessing they’re giving the Cat Pro the Bauer/CCM custom treatment. Seems like the skate will be from a sized last with alterations based on the scan. I’m intrigued by the Mako similarities, but I’m gonna wait it out to see what exactly “custom tailored” means.

Price difference for custom option between Cat Pro and TF Pro?

Tage Thompson wore an identical version. Hopefully it’s a custom option like the blue accents because yellow and chrome is awful.

I’m also curious to see what exactly is different. The catalog description is pretty vague but if this is Trues attempt to refine their product for the Mako loyalists, I’ll be excited to see more. I’ve also noticed a few NHL pairs on Getty that lack the yellow colorway. Possible custom option?

Excuse my prying, my Trues are on their death bed and I gotta make plans. Does this mystery skate have atrocious yellow and chrome highlights?

Seems it’s becoming the norm, but we still got some traditional CCMs and the 1X/ 2S Pro. I just hope True isn’t going to push for the yellow color way on custom orders.

The pro version looks much cleaner. Hopefully that’s an option for customs once these are released. The yellow was giving me cheap rollerblade vibes.

Having a hard time posting the picture on mobile, but Tage Thompson switched to a newer iteration of the True Calayst skate. Any guess as to when we can expect a release? Holding off on re-ordering Trues until they come out.

Funny enough I can answer that. After the last game while the teams were headed off the ice, I untied both skates and stayed on the ice a bit longer to assist with the nets. Not 100% stable, so I’ll do some PT to help. As for the arches, I’m unsure what to do. I feel I need more volume, but I’m worried the extra space would just add more friction.

No worries. There was arch pressure, immediate pain, and friction. I had no issues with volume anywhere else. I subbed in superfeet after one game and the issue got better but as I said, the damage had been done. I know I have average to high arches and slight pronation. Any suggestions going off that? Aside from don’t volunteer to work four charity games on new, retail skates…

I have been looking into this all day since taking a look at my feet in a mirror. I do pronate a little - nothing crazy. I’ll definitely do the exercise but you lost me with the insole comment. Are you saying I need less arch support? And if you could, please elaborate or reword your punching suggestion. My initial thought is that I should have it punched out to increase volume.

It was definitely slipping a bit. Threw in superfeet after the second game and it helped, but the damage had been done. Volume was also an apparent issue in the arch. In store they felt very similar. The CCM were only slightly narrower in the heel/arch but the forefoot felt identical. True liners are really subpar. They wear and become coarse/dry within months. Depending on the workers give-a-f*ck meter, they can also have quality issues. I’m wanting to go back to traditional skates if I can figure these issues out.

Spent 4 years in True. Minimal issues aside from medial ankle pain and poor interior durability. Trying out some FT4 Pros (10 Regular) with the 90 day guarantee and I ran into an immediate problem. Reffed 4 beer league games yesterday and ended up with massive arch blisters. I had the same issues with True on a few occasions where I skated 10+ games in a weekend, but this was immediately noticeable and different. I have pretty flat feet and I pronate. What do I do here? More arch support? Punch the area out? Not really keen on dropping $1500 for Total Custom+. I tried Hyperlites (9.5 Fit 3) in store and the arch felt much better but I’m also not keen on taking an $1100 risk. Don’t want to go back to True as of now. Any advice?

Wish Tampa would revisit the idea of adding black. Also, are we 100% on this being black? The jersey Beiber had on seemed to be midnight blue and I’m assuming this is the gear for it.

I imagine CCM would temporarily do away with the promotion if that were the case. Otherwise why allow stock to be gambled with?
