It has surprised me to read about the couple of people on here who've had length issues with their skates, when the overall length of you foot is a fairly easy thing to measure (as a standalone value). When I had my fitting done, a True-branded Brannock device was used and pictures of my (bare) feet on this included with the rest of the information sent to True. How much this was used to cross-reference to the scans, I don't know, but when it's such an easy thing to do, I'd have to ask why it doesn't seem to be a part of all True fittings...

I've been a long-time reader of this thread, and got my True skates a week ago - only very minor post-fit fettling has left me with the most comfortable skates I've ever had - in terms of the fit, I'm really pleased. However, I've got one question about the holders. I'm using the True (Step?) holders and Step steel, even after a week the holder is starting to split at the front, only 1-2mm, but still... As per instructions, I checked the tightness of the blades after heat forming, and after first skating. Is this something other people have also experienced, and is just the steel 'bedding in' to the holder? Or is this something I need to take further? (I'm in Europe so would be without the skates for significant time if they need to be sent back for evaluation). Here's a Flickr link (which hopefully works) to show what I mean...
