    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?
  6. dasuchin
    I have no idea how I'd be able to find the color code.
  7. 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.

    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.
  9. dasuchin
    Give me an update. I like the 75 flex a6.0 ht a lot, but I don't feel like I can get enough flex out of it when I'm using it. Really tempted to try something around 60 or 65 flex but not sure how much of a difference it would really make. If I got an intermediate I'd probably have to get an extension too.
  10. dasuchin
    This is really good to know. I got an A6.0 HT for Cyber Monday and I really like it, but I feel like I need to go down in flex from the 75, and that's the lowest they offer in senior.

    I haven't tried speed plates. I have some superfeet sitting around that I could try, but I'm betting it'll feel too much like I'm on my toes when skating.

    I'll probably request another red insole and give that a shot, I want to get the thin tongue to try anyway. I didn't really notice a difference in volume though.
  13. dasuchin
    First actual game in the skates last night and they were fantastic. I took the red insole out on the left skate because I felt like I had too much arch support in that one, but left them in on the right skate. Absolutely zero pain throughout the whole game. That's the first time I've skated through a game and never had any foot pain.
  14. dasuchin
    Yeah it'd be great to see pictures. I'm not really sure what I'm looking for either, to be honest. I just feel like the way the t-guard tongue sits will wear down on the eyelet cuff, the plastic rubs against the side of the cuff and when I push it back when lacing it up, it gets caught on the edge of the cuff. So I'm just worried about it wearing that down. I also don't really think I'd have an issue with lace bite in these so I don't see the need for the t-guard. How does it compare in comfort to the normal felt and the t-guard tongue?

    That's where I ordered mine from, the Pure Hockey in Dallas. When I asked if they did it they said their oven got hot enough to where they didn't need to do it. The person there didn't seem the most knowledgeable about Trues compared to the guy I originally ordered them through.
  16. dasuchin
    I'm interested in checking out the new thin tongue. I can't find anywhere that shows details about the different tongues available though.
  17. dasuchin
    What I meant is, now that I have the skate, is there a way to order additional tongues?
  18. dasuchin
    Yeah I've seen that. Just figured I'd give it a shot before I cut up the insole. Is there a way to order the thinner tongue? I went with the t-guard but I kind of want to try the thinner tongue. The plastic part on the t-guard tongue rubs up against the eyelet cuff and I'm kind of worried about it wearing it down, it also gets caught on the cuff when I start lacing them up.

    Second skate in the Trues today and they feel even better. This time it was a skills and drills class instead of just stick and puck, so I really got to get a feel for them. I had very little arch pain in one skate in the beginning when we were working on edges but it went away as soon as we moved onto other drills. I might try taking out the red insole just in that one skate to see if it makes a difference, but it was still nowhere near as bad as my retail skates have been. Definitely something I can deal with. I also feel like I can skate faster with them, like I'm getting more power out of my stride since there's no negative space in the boot.
  20. dasuchin
    Yeah I'll probably try it myself at home after a few games so I can get a feel for them first. Kinda disappointed they didn't do it this way at the store, but it's not worth driving 3 hours to get it done.
  21. dasuchin
    Could I put them on and take a heat gun to the sides and then wrap it? Or do I really need to bake the whole skate? I have a gas oven, which I'm sure is a problem, and I don't trust the stores here to do it right. The store I got them from is 3 hours away.
  22. dasuchin
    I can see that for sure. But I do get a little heel slippage if I don't tighten them on 3rd and 4th eyelet. I'll skate on them a few more times and maybe do a rebake at home with a heat gun and wrapping it up.
  23. dasuchin
    Yeah I just didn't know they were coming in until they called when I was already in town. The store is 3 hours away, I was just going up there for something unrelated. Didn't have the socks I skate in on me. I'll definitely skate in them a few times before I mess with anything else.
  24. dasuchin
    Yeah I'm using both insoles right now. I'm kind of wondering if part of it is because I wore thicker socks than I usually play in when I got them baked. Thought about putting them on with the socks I usually wear and just spot molding them with a heat gun, then wrapping it up to tighten it.
  25. dasuchin
    Ok first skate and I think I'm sold. Zero pain where I normally have it. I did have some heel slippage, but I think I can just use a lace tightener to crank it down a little more around my ankle and get rid of it. Anyone else use wax laces and have the wax coming off everywhere all over the skate? Since the wrap is so extreme around your foot, it's like the wax flakes off as you lace them up and tighten them.
