Size 7 Bauer supreme NXG (regular width)

There is more room in the True as compared to supremes? Definitely don’t like the sounds of that. My buddy noted he has zero negative space in his boot and zero movement...like the boot is completely attached to his foot. He noted he has a tough time getting skates off and on still. they have not rescanned much foot yet. Really have no idea what’s going on, other than my LHS noting they would reimburse me if this isn’t figured out or if I’m not satisfied.

Interesting, no I didn’t move the tongue around this time. I did play with it the first time I received the skates. I am using the cut resistance Bauer socks. Here’s the thing, I have never had these types of issues before With other skates. I’ll give it one more go then I am going to have to go back to a Bauer/ccm skate. Maybe my foot is just odd. I’m a strong believer that if they just make the skate slightly shorter and somehow figure out the heel lock mechanism I’ll be fine. Thanks for the response and the heads up about the clarino liner!

Wanted to give a brief follow up. I’m currently on my third instance of trying to get my new True skates to fit correctly. The issue is volume...the skates are a bit long (tons of room in my toe box, as compared to my NXGs) and the heel slippage is fairly significant. I’m more shocked with the amount of negative space in the boot as compared to the NXGs I’ve worn the past 6/7 years or so. Initially the volume issues were significant and my LHS sent them back to True. I’m not overtly sure what they did but the middle of my foot felt I bit more secure when I got them back. The significant amount of room in the toe box bugged me but I thought maybe this is how these skates fit. Once my foot started to sweat, the significant heel and arch movement started to pop up again. My LHS took them back and it sounds as though True may do a remake. Hopefully this works. Ordered the skates on 12/31...this has been a long process.

So my LHS is going to send my skates in so True can attempt to fix them. My guy has noted True to be experiencing issues lately, maybe as they’re becoming bigger their quality decreasing?

So it sounds as though I should have went with the clarino lining...still doesn’t help with the volume issue. Thanks everyone!

First post. I saw there was a ton of info on True skates. First off, I’ve worn retail Bauer Supremes for the past 10-15 years, ever since I stopped playing competitively. I have been in dire need of some new skates and I have always been interested in True ever since they first came out (VH). I finally caved and went through the scanning process about 4-5 weeks ago. In full disclosure I am one who like zero negative space in my boots. I typically buy skates as small as I can to ensure they are very snug. This is one of the primary reasons I went with True. One of my buddies who purchased a pair back before they were bought out talks as though he has trouble getting them on and how they feel almost as tight as wearing a latex glove. This pretty much had me sold. So fast forward a few weeks, two days ago I got the skates and had them baked. During the baking process I noticed they didn’t feel as tight as I thought they would/should, the fitter as my LHS noted it was due to them being super soft...seemed to make sense. Last night I took them to a local rink with my son and I had some fairly significant movement with my heel and my arches (I could pretty much move my foot up and down slightly). There was also a decent amount of room in my toe box. I put in the waxed laces I had on my supremes and it helped a bit but I had to tie them so tight that I lost some blood circulation in my toes...and my heel was still slipping. Later last night I had to coach...same issues. I kind of got used to them but the heel movement will drive me mad. I went with the moisture wicking liner, regular felt tongue and use standard True sole inserts. Thoughts? These were expensive 🙂
