    I exchanged a couple emails with a customer service rep at True. Just added some additional notes.

    I’ll be going over them thoroughly. I dropped a g and I expect to get a comfortable skate. My feet are pretty standard so as long as they can address the few minuscule issues I have, I’ll be happy. So far they have been easy to communicate with and I think I’ve gotten my “vision” across to them.

    Ordered mine today after stalking these forums for the last few years. I’ll be sure to post pics and a thorough review once they get here. And if I don’t like them, I will be forced to hold all of you personally accountable.

    One90 reincarnated.

    From the other pictures available, it also appears to have a significantly lower, more tapered toe box. The silver heel seems to be cosmetic. Maybe this is a dialed back OD1N project. Speculating szn.

    https://www.gettyimages.ca/detail/news-photo/andreas-athanasiou-the-detroit-red-wings-shoots-against-the-news-photo/1054474132 Does Bauer own the rights to Easton skate tech? These look awfully Mako-ish.

    Which is thicker/more durable?
  9. jared9356
    What on them looked bad? Purely cosmetic?

    https://imgur.com/a/RF5CpMf Decided to pull the trigger on these since CCM is offering the 90 day return. I’m coming off MX3s in 10EE and I got these in 10EE as well. I can tell they are slightly smaller than my MX3s. 10 hours in (officiating) and I like most everything about them aside from the lace bite. I’ve never experienced lace bite in my life and throughout the course of a three games set last night, I must have tried 6 different lacing patterns to no avail. Other than that, the heel lock is incredible and the skate is unbelievably light and responsive. I’ll see how they work throughout september before deciding between CCM total custom or True.
  11. jared9356
    Totally agree which is why I’ve been trying to gather info on all three in terms of their full custom options. I’m leaning towards True atm. Although I’ve grown used to Supremes, I recognize how “sloppy” they feel and I was a huge fan of the Mako aside from the infamous Mako bump. How have your Trues held up since your last video review? Was the liner an ongoing issue?
  12. jared9356
    Appreciate the info. My last three skates were the NXG, Mako I, and One100. Familiar with the Mako feel and the benefits, but I’ve grown so used to Supremes. My only issue regarding my feet is that the right is almost an entire size longer and that the base of the 5th metatarsal on both feet protrudes. Other than that, Supremes are generally comfortable.
  13. jared9356
    If you don’t mind, could you elaborate shortly on the areas in which you think each brand outshines the others? At this point, I’m torn between all three custom options so I’m gathering all the info I can.
  14. jared9356
    Does that hold true with the boots that have the added protection? Figured they’d maintain stiffness much longer.
  15. jared9356
    An employee at the other LHS said they had a hard time working with True as far as alterations/issues. Also said that the quality control was rapidly declining (probably referring to skates looking sloppy). And this guy was actually pushing True over Bauer/CCM. I get the sense from this forum that they’re fairly easy to work with. In your experience, where do the skates generally start to break down? And I mean in terms of the integrity of the boot/eyelets/liner. Cosmetics aren’t nearly as concerning to me.
  16. jared9356
    For True? If so how long have you had them and how are they holding up?
  17. jared9356
    Can’t remember names to save my life. Was at the PH in Plano, TX.

    Dear enlightened members of MSH, I am in the process of getting new skates and would like some info/opinions. Mostly officiating at this point so comfort and durability are my top priorities. Usually on the ice around 40-60 hours per week but I’m meticulous about skate upkeep and tend to get a lot of life outta my skates. For those of you that have used True/VH for an extended period of time, how have the skates held up? My LHS told me that True offers one freebie fix/tweak. Beyond that, how difficult/ expensive is it to have the skates worked on by True? How does Bauer handle issues if something is off about the skate/ tweaks need to be made? Anything I should know/ keep in mind when being fit for either? If anyone has any additional info they think I should have, please let me know.

    If anyone is looking for a brand new pair of Mako IIs in size 10EE, I just sent a pair back to a shop in MN called Dave’s Sport Shop.
  20. jared9356
    Sucks. The fact that I found them in my size (10 EE) was an online shopping miracle. Back to the drawing board.
  21. jared9356
    Actually second guessing myself now that I have them and have been wearing them for a few hours. Had the original Mako (a half size too big - 10.5 EE) and loved them until I got Mako bumps and started having severe ankle pain. These are giving me similar issues right out of the box. Totally aware of how these must be molded to be comfortable but I’m not sure if I wanna risk it or return/sell and go back to supremes.
  22. jared9356
    Well, I lucked out big time.
  23. jared9356
    Are these going to retail for $899 USD as the Super Tacks did? Is this question allowed? If not, this is just a prank.
  24. jared9356
    I’m sure there’s a few posts about this here but has anyone here that was a Mako user experienced Mako bump like symptoms with VH?
  25. jared9356
    What is the base price? What’d you end up paying if you don’t mind me asking?
