    I have been on my VH's for almost 2 months now. Mine have been great from day one although I had one issue with heel slip but after a 2nd heat mould they have been perfect. Durability wise still holding up great! I may not be as picky as some people on this forum but I have really enjoyed my customs. Measurements might leave room for error if you don't know how to measure I guess... It's not rocket science.

    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.

    They may be pickier because they pay for their gear!

    Alright so I've skated in these for the past few weeks and all I have to say is wow. Fit has been great. Had some issues with heel slip but re baked and that's fixed. I've always been a fluid skater I feel like I'm even more so now with the VH skates. The boot itself doesn't feel very stiff but once your all laced up it's unreal. I could skate for hours now where as before an hour ice session would kill my feet to the point I couldn't wait to get off the ice. I changed my profile up a bit but didn't notice to much of a difference. Durability wise I believe these well hold up fine, I got the white accents so obviously these are going to get marked up quicker than black would but the material itself is hardy enough to hold up to abuse. I'm still amazed with what Scott did with 5 measurements and a couple pictures, these skates are identical to my feet in every way. Bottom line I would recommend these to anyone who has had skate issues, I'm extremely happy I took the plunge after 20 years of playing I have skates that fit, what a revelation. They solved all my issues, so much so that before next year I'll probably order another pair of VH's because I won't be skating on anything else. Not really a review just some feedback after some great skates in these.

    Mine are "out for delivery" with Canada Post - playing the waiting game too.

    Mine apparently are in Mississauga now? Just called to find out that they are nowhere near where they are supposed to be. Worse than that. I sold the only skates I had to wear besides them yesterday. Have hockey tonight and tomorrow and a 4 game tourney this weekend. No skates.

    Safe to say today is not my day.

    Enjoy yours Dave! I'll be in cowtown next week we should hook up for a skate. If I have skates by than that is!
