  1. Best thing to do is really get your feet measured properly. Not mess around with arch supports.
  2. If you have ice skates that fit get them converted. I had a pair of inlines, I had to take them off after about 15 minutes as my feet were on fire. Got some Nexus skates in my size converted, no issue since.
  3. It is almost like they're forcing people to go custom..
  4. I hopefully won't need new skates for a while however I may start to try and stockpile old pairs of Nexus. This sounds like they're trying to get people to go custom.
  5. From my point of view Tampa did nothing wrong. Flyers players should have come back down low to try and break out.
  6. It depends who I'm sending steel too. I'd rather have someone I trust do a 7/16th grind than someone I don't know do a fancy new grind.
  7. Lebeda Asphalts, Bone Reds bearings I think they're called too. Deffo get Marsblades for the on ice feel.
  8. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Easton-Mako-II-Ice-Hockey-Skates-Junior/113365054470?hash=item1a65157406:m:mMFVTiqpRCAoUE-RJBdy_zA Some brand new ones for youths in Latvia. I don't know if that is any good to anyone?
  9. No worries, I was thinking of putting some leather over the area.
  10. Looking for wear patches that go on the sides of inline boots, as when I stake it occasionally often I'm starting to cause damage to my boot. Any guidance please.
  11. Marsblades without a shadow of a doubt.
  12. Maybe get one of those wraparounds for blades, or get wooden ones.
  13. If your son fits a Nexus best, surely it is best to keep him in them..
  14. Using Marsblades you wouldn't have to learn to skate. You may just have to adjust. As an ice player I love them as I'm able to switch between the two. However if you're soley roller you may as well stick with what you know.
  15. Bauer N9000s, going from a soft pair of Grafs, to another pair that didn't fit properly, these changed the way I skated! I'd love to find another brand new pair.
  16. So he just un tapped that stick did he, taking all the residue off.
  17. Only thing I can think of is it is going to offer less resistance for taking a shot as there is less of the stick having to pass through the atmosphere. Might help with getting shots off quicker, especially because the Nexus line is a mid kick and not a low kick.
  18. Fuck me here in the UK you goto the shop and they still ask if you're on a half inch hollow. Not me though 7/16ths I'd like to try some of these profiles, but we simply don't have the facilities to do it. I'd assume all our players in the current IIHF Championships are on traditional hollows.
  19. I took my dog along a cycle track then canal and it was good. I enjoyed it. I do have some vids on FB, but yes, the transition between both is easier now!!
  20. Well I've been on Marsblades all week, I then get back on ice again yesterday, took less than a minute to get used to being on ice again. My stride was the same, Marsblades are brilliant. Just need to find a really smooth patch of concrete.
  21. Speaking to a mate who has a pair, he's kept his quite tight still. I'll try that until I'm used to them. Glad I went with the boot conversion though.
