    If you have a plastic supplier near you, you can get them to deliver you a sheet of HDPE. Such as below https://www.directplastics.co.uk/hdpe-sheet?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI5tPb4OSF6QIVV-DtCh2Gew9lEAAYASAAEgJic_D_BwE it's exactly what the commercial shooting pads are made of. Add some silicon lubricant or pledge for extra slippiness.

    Might just be how we handle things in the UK

    I just paid in-store for my Trues.

    Thanks boss, any idea what they may/may not ship with if I order? Or will they do boot only? The rep over here in the UK seems to have been left in the dark about a lot of this new stuff! Totally fine with Edge holders, just wanted to try something different.
  5. greyskull
    Exactly what I thought! I’ll pass I think. just waiting to hear whether we can get the new holder and runner in 306, and when and my order will be placed!

    Just got scanned for a pair of trues today as my VH are totally falling apart after four years! Im in a bit of a quandary with this new boot/holder/tongue situation. For now I’m just waiting to hear back any details I can get - for starters whether they make them in 306 (don’t think the old ones were) given that my order wouldn’t be shipped until after this release date. I’ve asked the store to pass on this message and we’ll see how it all pans out. anyone know what this new tongue is like? I’m a big fan of the old metatarsal tongue so was a wuss and went for that again. Also, are step making steel for the new holders?

    My three year old VH's are finally starting to give me sign's I need to save for a new pair. The carbon on the heel wrap is starting to flake and crack. Think I'm gonna just cover it with epoxy and hope for the best. They're still as responsive and stiff as ever. I've never had a pair of boots hold up this well for this long. Caveat, I switched the tongues and steel out.

    Even Before the Bauer buy-out of Itech, these things were a bitch to get to fit at the best of times!

    AHHH. Then no. I wouldn't go to that hole out of choice! Find me In Basingstoke. (what's left of it )
  10. greyskull
    That may well be me...
  11. greyskull
    That's what I got in the first place. I was quite used to the super stiff Vapour Tounge, so love it!

    After initial delivery of skates, I paid $80 dollars for Thick felt, lace bite guard, custom embroidery.
  13. greyskull
    OHHHH YEAH! You gotta put your foot in sidewise and rotate the boot, as opposed to just shoving it straight in like an off-the-shelf boot. See Scott show you how.
  14. greyskull
    100 percent would put Tuuks on instead!
  15. greyskull
    NICE! Looks like they've just taken the VH boot we know and love and tidied up the cosmetics a little, which to be fair, it did need!

    I didn't feel a huge change from my Vapor X90's, but I did have LS EDGE & LS2 on both which probably help the transition a little, but from supreme you MAY be a tiny bit more on your toes. YMMV
  17. greyskull
    Maybe I should do that follow up video! Mine are holding up pretty darn well. Much better than my Vapor x90's which started coming unstitched around the tow after six month. Will add pics soon.
  18. greyskull
    Yeah, I'm doing mine up looser and looser these days,
  19. greyskull
    Might have missed someone else saying this, but looks like big Z is in VH .
  20. greyskull
    Sad Days... My tongues have worn down, and I'm getting the early onset of lace-bite, and a I took a shot of the foot and my holder has cracked (blame Tuuks!)
  21. greyskull
    I asked for comfort edge and got that too!.....
  22. greyskull
    Hey bud . All I can say is, unequivocally, these Are the best performing most comfortable skates I have ever owned. Make of that what you will!
  23. greyskull
    Yeah my metatarsal guard is embroidered. I don't think you can have the flex tendon guard and embroidery however, as there's not material on the heel to stitch in to!
  24. greyskull
    Much better after spot heating the eyelet cuff, but I have a hot spot on my left foot which is pretty painful. Time to get the heat gun out again!
  25. greyskull
    To be honest... I almost don't need the laces in these, let alone waxed laces!
