    I've been wondering this too. I'm currently in Trues, but interested in trying out custom CCMs when the time comes. Do they truly make the boot around the scan of your foot like True does? Or is it really just a retail fitting boot with the slight adjustments to have incremental sizes? I had crazy arch pain in all the retail skates I tried, to the point where I couldn't last a full game. I now have zero pain anytime I skate with my Trues. Does CCM actually account for the arch like True does?

    I've had my custom Trues for almost 2 years now. On ice average 3 times a week in that span. I haven't had any issue with those rivets. I have had to replace the rivet on the tendon guard once on each skate.

    Mine are either 7.5 or 8, not 100% sure. But I use 108s. I have to unlace the top two eyelets to get them off, but this way the laces aren't super long after I tie them.

    I got them baked with the stock non-waxed laces and then swapped to waxed after. Still got the flaking from threading them through.

    In my case, the wrap is so tight that threading the laces through at the top caused all the wax to flake off and get everywhere. I went back to normal laces and realized I didn't need waxed ones anymore.

    That's a bummer. What you're describing with the arch pain is the whole reason I went with a pair of custom Trues. I couldn't find retail skates that didn't do that to my feet. Now I have no issues.

    Yeah, why innovate at all, let's just continue to use the same old products instead of trying to come up with something new.

    Yeah I’ve got the same problem with mine. I mentioned the top of it being too narrow and they told me to bend it out, but there’s no way I could get it to be permanently wider. I just deal with my chin not fitting perfectly cause it seems like the best option for a hybrid on the market. As long as I skate with my mouth hanging open then my chin fits in the cup haha. I thought about just getting a reakt cage but I really like the vision I get with the hybrid.

    I'm curious why the adult size doesn't work on your helmet? I have a medium helmet and I'm using the adult one, it fits just fine. I actually had to move the j clips further down, otherwise it was too tight of a fit and would squeeze my head when it was closed. I only have two complaints about it: 1. Since I had to move the clips down, the chin cup doesn't really sit the most comfortable way and its pretty easy for my chin to slip out. 2. It's pretty heavy. Other than that, I've had no issues with fogging or anything else. I've taken a few pucks and sticks to the shield, its a little scratched up but I can still see just fine out of it.

    Anyone know how I can get a pair of retail True laces? I've liked them so far and they've held up well, so I just want another pair of them. True said to reach out to a retailer, Pure said they didn't have any. Haven't tried anywhere else yet.

    I got scanned for my customs back in December. Is it possible to get details about the scan now to see what size I'd need in the retail skates? Interested in getting a pair to convert to roller. Just got a pair of tacks converted over and they're killing my foot, really miss the feeling of my Trues when I'm using them.

    That reminds me, I probably need to do another bake. I got mine back in December and they didn't do the shrink wrap method. I've been using them 2-4 times a week since then, minus a month and a half or so when my rink was shutdown. Can I bake these at home? Not sure what to throw them in the oven at.

    I went through someone that has some connections at Warrior. But last I heard from him, they're out of this color material now. I ended up selling them and made a little bit of a profit.

    I wear STX shoulders and the cage hit the caps. I don't think the caps are that big but who knows. I had to stretch the cage for the Avision too. It was a pain in the ass and could still stand to be stretched more, but it's fine now. I'm using it on a Bauer Reakt 75.

    Just be aware that the MK5-X is HUGE. The bottom of it would hit my shoulder pads when I turned my head and kept getting in the way. I also had issues with it fogging. I've been using the new one from Boulder Face Shields (https://hockeyfaceshields.com/shop/) and have had no issues with it fogging. I think I've played at least 10 games with it now. Way better than the Hockey Ninja one. The bottom isn't too big to get in the way and breathability seems better to me.

    Got some Warriors made to match the Stars Winter Classic gloves.

    I'm using the Shift holder.

    I got mine mid December and I skate 3-4 times a week. I haven't seen any abnormal wear. I have noticed the last two skates that the left skate has a click when I walk. Anyone have that? Sounds like the steel is a little loose or something? I don't notice anything when skating, just started hearing a click when I walk. Using the shift holder.

    Because the wrap around your actual foot and ankle is so tight on the True skates that there's barely any room for the laces to move. When you tighten them, they're rubbing so much against the tongue that the wax comes off all over the skate. I never saw that happen on my other skates. I went back to normal laces so the skate wasn't covered in wax just from tightening them.

    Does the prostock trigger 4 actually have the same taper as the retail one? I've been debating picking one up, but I can't tell if the taper is the same or not.

    Decided to pick up a pair I found on ebay that was the exact color I wanted. These are insanely comfortable, I get it now.

    I'm not that familiar with Eagle gloves. Do they have a pair that are more like a supreme or vapor fit?
  23. dasuchin
    I have no idea how I'd be able to find the color code.
  24. dasuchin
    What does a pair of customs from Warrior or Eagle run? I want a pair like the Stars Winter Classic gloves, can't imagine finding anything close to it in retail gloves.
  25. dasuchin
    Yeah you're probably right. That's why I'm trying to find something senior length in 60-65. I know adding the extension to an intermediate would make it feel lower. I just haven't felt a 65 compared to a 75 so I'm not sure how different they feel.
