Not sure about True, but retailers sell them at a significantly discounted price. Typically online and under a different name or as an ‘outlet’

Did you buy the same size as your Bauers? The Trues should open up a half size after baking

My understanding is that standard is snug, relaxed gives you more wiggle room, and tight is just as it sounds. Some players like a little more or less room so these options allow you to customize them as such

Didn’t realize marsblade was the same. I knew O1 and R1 don’t line up with Bauer/CCM ice or roller chassis so figured the same would be true for ice holders. Thanks for the clarification

Same hole pattern?

I simply meant the removal process. it’s finicky to hold the mechanism back enough to be able to pull out the steel. Compared to Bauer and CCM it’s a pain

CCM XS and Bayer Powerfly. Pretty sure that’s it

New SVH skates look good. I agree about the holder too, but damn True’s release mechanism is the worst

Love the throwback look from the shell to the liner

Prototypes of the new Warrior skates. They’re prototypes, but eesh not a great looking leak

Thanks for the info guys. True also told me wides were 3-4mm wider compared to regular. I’m not going to mess around and just hope the place can do right and get me the proper size

So… how much wider are wides? Got a pair of 9x4 for about 40% off, but was shipped my size in Wide, not Regular. I don’t have super narrow feet, but have always worn D/Regular skates. Haven’t baked them yet, but they seem to feel about right pre-baking compared to all the other True skates I’ve owned. In the event the seller cannot get me Regular width skates, I’m wondering how much wider the wides are or if the heat moldability is great enough that I can get them to wrap/fit close enough to Regular? That or give me a tiny bit of wiggle room without being too big

I'm not, but could have a colleague in Toronto pick them up for me. I don't see a F&F offer on their site. Am I missing a 25% off code? If I'm mathing correctly, that would be just under $800USD after taxes. edit… looks like that promo ended on September 18th. Bummer

Exactly. And I’ll be swapping holders so that’s another cost on top of the increased price. Maybe there will be a Black Friday sale

No, no. Just trying to find a pair below retail
