    The toe box issue was not a measurement problem, rather a construction problem. My smallest toe was placed behind a support piece that had too much carbon fiber layered inside it and caused my toe to jam against it. Bad measurements, of course, would sour this whole experience too.

    Overall, this forum is probably not the optimal market for a custom skate like VH. The guys on this forum are pickier about gear for beer league than many of the pros I know.

    Skated in my second pair today. All of the stuff written above about the lightness, support, and complete comfort is 100% echoed in my experience.

    My boots were redone due to toe cap issues I was having. It's very interesting to see how each pair changes as he refines his product: my new boots replaced the carbon "window" on the sidewall with vibram rubber, the tendon guards are attached with copper rivets, and the tongue Velcro is held on with screws instead of rivets.

    I am very, very happy.

    So, I got my skates back with the adjusted toe caps. Skated a Junior A game in them and am still having issues.

    I contacted Scott and he will be fabricating me a new pair of boots to increase the volume and solve the toe issues I'm having once and for all. He is incredibly responsive (even for a picky customer like me) and has been an extremely fast communicator.

    OK, skates arrived today!

    Initial impressions:

    1) The build quality is impeccable. It looks like Scott improves his technique with each pair he produces. These are very, very polished.

    2) The molding to my foot is incredible. You can see how I traced my foot on the toe cap. Each bump and lump is represented.

    3) The above posters were not kidding -- getting your foot in and out of this skate is somewhat challenging.

    4) The rivet bursting die looks to have been replaced. :wink:

    I'll bake them tonight, skate in them ASAP, and keep you guys posted.

    After 3 years, I've finally managed to put together my Team China set, starting with the personalized IIHF jersey!

    Featuring :

    Bauer 5100 combo (modified, you can see the Poron in the back)

    IIHF Winter Olympics jersey

    Nike Olympic pants (Frankensteined with RYR 6000 uppers)

    Calgary third socks

    Calgary third X:60 Pro gloves (Bouma)

    Huge shout out goes to LawGoalie for helping me find the pants and gloves.

    The pants, helmet and gloves made their debut at SummerJam this year.

    That's an awesome bit of kit, dude!

    As requested, the picture of the stitches: Oxp3haK.jpg

    That looks amazing! I was wondering if you could perhaps post a picture of the area where you made the stitches. That Speedy Stitcher is a great tool.

    Looking forward to reading any feedback from you, Krev, especially since you were a Stealth user too iirc.
