    More ergonomic and not as wide as it makes the skates look bulky and not streamlined. Ideally, I wish they would go back to have a composite toe cap as I really liked that look, though I know its not nearly as durably as the current materials being used.
  2. VegasHockey
    I wish they would streamline the toe cap a little. That's my only complaint currently with the TRUE skates.

    It's more than just a quick release holder.... I cannot comment on anything more though.

    One thing is for sure, anyone who ever complained about weight will surely have nothing to whine about anymore. Still not a justification to skip leg day though 😉

    ...and the super thin pro spec tongue 😉

    The new process is fantastic. Nothing but solid feedback from everyone regarding it. In fact, we now do this same process for ALL skates at our store.
  7. VegasHockey
    Ha. Guess I opened myself up for that one, didn't I? 😉

    How many people are buying new skates every two years though? Most players I know who wear TRUE skates specifically buy the brand because they know the skates are built to last. The durability of their skate has been tested and proven at all levels of hockey.

    I don't know if I would consider that ironic. The dark clarino TRUE liners are VERY nice and don't absorb as much moisture and they also dry out very fast too. I absolutely consider them to be top notch! From an overall technology perspective they are much more advanced than the tan clarino.
  10. VegasHockey
    There is always going to be new stuff released and such. Technology is fairly progressive.

    TRUE has a snug fit liner they are testing but is not available to the public as of yet. Stay tuned. In the meantime, if you know the right people and ask nicely you can still get the tan clarino. I got them to hook you up 😉
  12. VegasHockey
    The grey clarino doesn't soak up as much moisture and is noticeably thicker than the tan liner. This is why when you see most of TRUE skates being used by professionals they almost always have the tan liners. It provides much better grip locking the foot into place. I usually don't recommend the fabric liner. While it does promote good foot lock and does a great job wicking away moisture, the skates become very heavy and take a long time to dry out fully. It's also not as durable.

    Just a pair that I assembled today for another satisfied customer

    For people that sweat a lot and want a really snug fit it's always best to go with the tan clarino option that they have.

    If I may ask, where did you go? My stores are located on the west coast and we do a ton of skates. I hope it wasn't Pure Hockey.....

    New beauties

    This is the way ALL store that sell TRUE skates are supposed to be baking skates. Did they not do this when you bought them?
  18. VegasHockey
    TRUE designs skates for your heel to sit much farther back in the boot. When you are in a hockey stance it locks in. If you try to stand upright it will sit a little outside of the heel cup.
  19. VegasHockey
    Yeah, they sell it directly but shops also sell it now as well. We have a bunch of it.
  20. VegasHockey
    No, they do not. Please do not use them it will ruin the flare.

    In Seattle I went to University Village Shoe Repair. He does a bunch of hockey repairs for the local stores and also for the UW and Totems hockey teams.
  22. VegasHockey
    Take them to a shoe repair place. They can fix that easily. I've had to do it for a pair once before. The shop you got them from or TRUE should hopefully reimburse you.

    I am meticulous when mounting holders so I can assure you no damage was done when I attached or removed the holders. To me it seems like the holders are too rigid and don't allow any flexibility which puts the holder undr too much tension. This rmght be be by design though since there is the cantilever inside that moves. The reason I removed them is I noticed one of the holders mounting holes was starting to become deformed and I was also noticing the rivet holes in my TRUE skate were stretching a bit.
  24. VegasHockey
    I agree with this 110%

    These are my MarsBlade Holders after only 80 hours of ice time. I am quite disappointed in how they are holding up. MarsBlade Holders after 80 hours of ice time https://imgur.com/gallery/cc7kDq5
