    Without knowing what type of Bauer skates you use, holder type and if you tie up your laces all the way up or not. Few things to look at:

    You are now using a speed skating boot for hockey, so if you're not a 230lb with very thick legs and feet, you are fighting too much stiffness in all the wrong places.

    If the stiff boot forced you not to tie up your laces all the way up, no resistance at the top so nothing holding your foot in the upright position, that means your body weight is too much on your toes (ball of you feet), this puts more stress on your shins and it's very  unnatural position so don't expect it to go away with more playing time.

    Lower cut boot, if True is lower cut then your Bauer - same thing not enough resistance at the top, too much weight on the front section of your foot.

    Arch, if the slope of the arch in the True skate is lower so less contact with your plantar surface, this effects blood flow and stretching effect on your plantar fascia, that means it effects all your other leg muscles including your Achilles heel all teh way to your back, neck....

    If that arch is too high, same thing you can't push through it, the foot is not stretching properly, same issues will occur, there is a small threshold  where it works perfectly all other situations it works against you regardless of the skate model you use, it's all about matching your plantar surface geometry to the skate midsole geometry.

     

    I use the same holder and steel for both my 1s skates and the Trues and tie them all the way up normally.  I think it is a muscle issue with too much of my weight being on the ball of my foot as I haven't worn the Trues in a couple of weeks and got a pair of the new 1x skates and have been skating in them with no issue (except the fit not being as good as the Trues).  

    I think adding the Superfeet insoles probably did more harm than good in regards to my weight distribution.  Any suggestions on how to get the skates modified to get more of my weight towards my heel?  Different insoles, profiling, rebaking, etc?

    Maybe the pitch is different enough from your old set up that it's creating discomfort?

    Not sure, could be.  They both have the same steel & holders.

    Is it like a shin splint feeling or on the outside like lateral stops and starts? I'm curious what is causing it. Have you talked to True or LHS? Maybe some pressure from the feet moving up the shins, insoles, heel, boot, lace bite, pitch, etc.? Does the heel feel too high or instep too tight? If you got the True holders that come with Step steel it may be the holders or steel taller than what you're used to?

    I've never had shin splints but I would imagine the same sort of feeling.  Heel does feel slightly high but not too bad and the instep is fine.  I have the Tuuk holders with step steel black.

    Any profiling done?

    No I put the black step steel from my 1s skates on the Trues.

    Which part of your shins? Is it a muscle burning feeling or a rubbing on tendon or bone, etc.? Can you find an anatomical diagram that shows the part and pinpoint the spot?

    Almost feels like a stabbing pain.  Half way up the calf directly above the ankle bone.
