    Isn't the question if the skates are built to a 3D last of your foot why would you need to bake them?
  2. JONES199
    I've always wondered if any of the custom skates were truly build around a 3D printed last of the foot. My son has custom 2S Pros, he loves them and they fit well and they didn't look to be molded when they came.
  3. JONES199
    Be careful with the EE recommendation. Unless the EE fits in all aspects don't do it. My son went with the EE recommendation based on some but not all of the measurements and 6 weeks later we were ordering customs because the heels would not lock.

    I've got a big fan of No-Icing's "Quad 8 Defence Junior Skater" profile at my house. It's a logistical challenge to get new blades done but the few other things we tried he was not happy with.

    Not sure on the last but I may be able to help if you are between sizes. My son was laser measured at the experience store, some measurements were D other EE, time was a factor so we purchased EE. Big mistake on my part, should have gone with the Ds and had them beat out. Ended up ordering the customs 6 weeks later. If between sizes and have time get customs if you need today get the narrower skate.

    Not money at all - I think the money is all pretty comprable. Watched lots of high-end local guys go to True. All are now in custom Bauers.

    We've got the socks one order and we'll try to mould the heel but it's clear to us that customs are going to be in order. The Trues are out but the one piece CCMs are intriguing I just wonder of a one piece can be customized, where would the excess material go?
  8. JONES199
    Lateral heel movement is what the instructor thinks as well. So I guess it's custom skates. The kid's always been in Supremes but the instructor wants him to switch to the one piece CCMs.

    Thanks. It only started with the new skates, it's the first time with the EE width (as per the Bauer scanning system). I was wondering if it was the additional width of the boot or the fact that the 2S Pros are so much stiffer than the 1S he came out of, perhaps allowing him to get over further than before.
  10. JONES199
    We have. The instructors are trying to figure it out as well. Thanks.

    Brand new steel, the black ones that come in the 2S Pros, LS5 maybe, they are quite tall.
  12. JONES199
    So "lifts" is the correct term - thanks.
  13. JONES199
    The boot of my son's skate (2S pro) is sometimes hitting the ice on a tight turn causing him to wipe out. In skiing, we used to call it "booting" out and the solution was lifts placed between the ski and the binding to raise the foot up off the surface. Is there a similar way to raise the skate boot off the ice?
  14. JONES199
    We've had the scans done at the Bauer store and they have them as a little too small. They are 6D and the scan recommends 6.5E so that's what the new ones are.
  15. JONES199
    If you have a shop in Toronto maybe I can swing them by at the end of May, the boy is in town for a camp.
  16. JONES199
    I will try to get pictures of the skates tonight, it is both skates as the breaks have happened in both. I have a picture of the broken Tydans but can't figure out how to post.
  17. JONES199
    We went with the Tydans based on recommendations from this site and the fact that they seemed taller than the alternatives. He has problems booting out with the shorter steel.
  18. JONES199
    He's transitioning to new skates right now so hopefully, the new skates (2S pro) will be easier on the blades. Over the 3 months, he was rotating two different sets of Tydans.
  19. JONES199
    about 1/3 of the length
  20. JONES199
    Update .... replaced the holders - even though they tested out fine ... replaced the steel with Tydan ... just broke another one. That's 6 on the season.
  21. JONES199
    We went through lots before we found http://www.supersteelgoals.com/. We purcased the "shotmaster trainig goal" very well constructed. Heavy mess and pipe.
  22. JONES199
    I will PM. I'm not sure what eyelet extenders are but the skates have the plastic extension pieces rather than traditional eyelets.
  23. JONES199
    He does but he has always had them, always been in supremes. He switches them out as soon as they "break" or "fold".
  24. JONES199
    A tiny gap on one foot just touches on the other.
  25. JONES199
    Yes - he is in exactly what the scan recommends.
