Hey @Leif I'm glad to hear you're wearing the POWERFOOT and think they're great! Not so happy to hear you're having issues drying them out, when you say "ages", how long are we talking? Do you have your skates loosened enough to pull the tongue out as much as possible? However if you're playing a lot you may not be have enough time to air dry them out completely. The other option is not to stick them in so that you can remove them to dry after each session. This is what a lot of our elite players (often playing twice a day with their morning skate) and high volume players (playing 3+ times a week) do. I personally do this as well so that I can easily show others in the room and dry them out quicker. By the sounds of it this may be a great option for you. If you're not ready for a fresh pair you can slowly peel them off (right after a skate works best) add a piece of stick tape to the back to remove any stick and slide them in right before you put your skate on. Unless you have really big skates they should stay up long enough to get your foot in and once your foot is in they wont move. That being said we're always looking for ways to improve the POWERFOOT and reducing moisture/sweat absorption is one of them. We have tested a few things and continue to work towards a solution. If you need anything else or would like to go over it further please DM me so we don't high-jack this thread :) Cheers, Mike

Hey @A2rhino! Great post, glad you finally tested them out and love them as much as we do! Welcome to team POWERFOOT...finally! ;)

Yes Sir! Never gets old hearing feedback like this! You'll appreciate the bonus of keeping your toes warmer out on the Pond! Glad to have you on Team POWERFOOT!

What a great review, thanks @proth0303! Welcome to to Team POWERFOOT!

Hey @krisdrum glad to hear you liked them in the Grafs and congrats on the new skates... However, 2 problems with converting your current pair. 1- I really don't see the shim coming off without destroying the insert. 2- Even if you got it off the regular POWERFOOT without a shim is probably to think. The good news is that we have a custom thinner insert that comes with a shim for Mako's and VH/True skates. So, it's looking line you'll have to open that wallet of yours. If you're interested in some of our new products and/or want to get a group order together, maybe I can work out a great deal for you! Send me a DM if you want and we'll take it from there. Thanks again for the support!

Great news! Keep us posted!

Most likely Rob that reached out! Where did you test the sample? I thought maybe you ordered a new pair but now that I have re-read your post you may actually still have the thinner ones you're not a fan of. If your current set up is not thick enough please send me a DM and I'll work something out for you. You can also email if you prefer - michael@adrenalinedesign.ca

Oh boy... we all make bad plays now and again, some worse than others HA! Let me know if you do want to give them a fair shot and I'll see if I can work something out for you.

Thanks for posting @darkhors so much of our success has come from awesome customers like yourself. We really appreciate it and are happy to have you on Team POWERFOOT!

Story of my life HAHA! There are a lot of players that have been where you have (as @darkhors mentioned above) One guy in particular that stands out was testing thim in a Old Timers game I was sparing in. Just after the warm up I asked how they felt and he really wasn't sure, he said they may just be too tight for him (he was in grafs, not as big as bauers). After them game I asked again and he said he liked them and wanted to add the shim for more thickness! Ended up liking the shim and loving the POWERFOOT. Now, like you mentioned the POWERFOOT may not be your thing, but you don't need to stick them in permanently to test them (I'm one of the players that leaves them un stuck to dry out easily and show anyone who's curious) so maybe the next time you hit the ODR throw them in, they will have the added bonus of keeping your toes a little warmer as well. Let us know if you do end up trying them, would like to hear what your post skate feedback is like. Cheers!

Hey jlt73, could be... we always recommend at least 3hrs to get over the "weird" feeling. Some guys love them from the first minute others work their way in. They still may not work out but we obviously feel they're worth the effort, especially in Bauers as they have the largest toe boxes. If you do give them a few more skates let us know how it goes.

Thanks for jumping in! Just to confirm, your set up is working now... despite the lack of further investigation?? Let me know if you need anything from our end. Feel free to DM as well. Cheers!

Sorry for the delay @vsawchuk I was away for the holidays... and by "away", I mean on the ODR with my boys! As @Cosmic mentioned we do have a thinner version that we use for Makos and we also use them for VH skates. We've had a great response with the users so far. Let me know if you need anything else!

Hey Guys, thanks for giving them a go. Just curious, how many sessions did you give them and what Skate brand and Size are you in?

I should have seen this sooner! Glad we got you covered. For anyone else wondering the same thing... There is a selection for all skates SR6+ this is what would be selected for the size 8. @dkmiller3356 Thanks for the support and welcome to Team POWERFOOT!

Hey @JJP2222 No matter how custom the fit of the boot (does sound like yours may be a little off though) there will always be room in the toe cap because they can't have the plastic right on your toes. We have a special thinner POWERFOOT insert made especially for VH or Mako skates (smallest toe boxes on the market) and have several VH guys in them and liking them. Touch base with me directly if you need any additional info on them and good luck. edit: Just read @Larry54 post and it seems like they may have an even thinner toebox option. As he mentioned there is foam between the toes and the plastic so the plastic isn't up against his toes, but sounds real close. However, this does seem to be shallower than most VH toe boxes. Good thing with the POWERFOOT is that it's guaranteed for 30 days so if you try them and find they're too thick you can always return them.

Thanks for the Shout out @Kyosuke glad to be a part of that sweet set up! I'm hoping to get me a pair come January! What liner did you go with and why?

Ya once you skate with the POWERFOOT it's hard to go back eh @hallowicked !!

Thanks for the support @vinprun71 and welcome to Team POWERFOOT!

Welcome to Team POWERFOOT @carodz! Thanks for posting your feedback.

@shoot_the_goalie OK, happy to hear! No major changes coming to the material in the near future. That being said, we're always working on finding improvements so you never know.

Hey @beedee let us know if you do, I'd love to hear how we stack vs your DIY pair ;) @A2rhino great question - @boo10 answered you perfectly! That is our suggestion but as you'll see... they tend to last longer! Glad to have you on Team POWERFOOT @aintitthelife98 !! Thanks for the feedback! @NiCnoK Always great to hear from you! Glad the POWERFOOT are holding up to your phenomenal schedule! And you're right, the pressure will start to dissipate aver time. Nice! Welcome to Team POWERFOOT @jlt73 let us know how it goes! Hey @shoot_the_goalie I'm curious... have you tried our current version? It's not memory foam but several players have compared the feel to memory foam. We are looking at other options but based on how tricky it was to get the first combo of performance foam and comfort foam right, it may take some time. If you haven't tried our current version, you may be pleasantly surprised. **Sorry for the delay in some of my replies, I was having issues quoting but thanks to @shoot_the_goalie I realize I can tag you guys in my posts... yes, I'm still a rookie LOL Have a great weekend boys!

Hey Ibeck! It's been great chatting with you also. Thanks for posting, we're happy to have you on team POWERFOOT!

Hey Jgold47! Thanks for posting and we sure hope you'e right! In my opinion the POWERFOOT should be offered with every new skate to ensure the best fit. If you're only feeling a comfort advantage that could be because there is not enough pressure. The shim would definitely help with that... Did you get a chance to test them out with the shim? Did it add more of a performance feel to them?

Hey jbyun04! Thanks for posting... did you get a chance to test them out with the shim? If so, how'd it go?
