Awesome a True dealer that doesnt push the product. 😜 Being one of the first this was an issue I knew would happen because some stores although wanted to be dealers to say they were, just didnt bother selling any or very little after they got it. I just think it's kinda funny as CCM basically ripped off the True program using the same company and bauer's well it is what it is. Anyway back to the True skate thread enough of the hijacking! Hahahaha -

So every skate breaks down and I believe the comment was that the CCM skates has show more wear. Never said they were more broken down. However at 3 times a week for the period of time your friend has had them they cant be as solid as they day he got them, but I think we get the point. 😉 -

My shop is 5/8ths or less. Most of my minor midget and up players are going with less. And there all pretty good players. I have maybe 10 out of all my customers at 1/2 only a couple goalies at 3/8ths If the sharpen is level the pressure is even and consistent you dont need to ho so sharp. -
Sovwhats to become of them? 9 out of 10 is pretty high. I would have thougt maybe 3 4??

To be honest your post looks different from when I orginally read it so I cant even find it now. And no it was simply a comment. As I have said to anyone having issues if the skate is way out then there is a scan issue not a shot at you at all. -

SMU. You stated in your post that "the scans were wrong initially" it is a direct quote. I would have empathy if I wasnt dismissed so readily at the beginning as youbhad said your pro shop were amazing and it couldnt have been on there end. People make mistakes and that is the first line error when it comes to these skates. If the scanner is off your skates won't be right. Back to topic pleaseeeeeeeee. -

That's really funny you say the scans were wrong??? Pretty sure I said that from day one. Now after 900+ fits next time will people listen? Nope. -

You sure they didnt input your card on the screen? All skates go through the True online app unless they are Pro Minor Pro or a specialty order. -

Not you he was referring to SMU. Alan has reposted the exact account of his dilemma every time. And while we all feel for him with the issue. We are all pretty much over hearing the entire story that is no so long it takes up an entire page with 3 or 4 other responses. But I have had the same success with fitting of Pro Stock boots. Just took the original measurements and checked to see how close and so far all but 2 have been very good fits. One came back after a couple skates but sold that skate again to a rec player that had odd feet and was able to make them work. Have a great day!!! -

I dont know what to tell you. in the 3 years I have been fitting these skates the red has always been the top cap liner. Not and extra and never taped. -

oldtrainerguy28 replied to dsjunior1388's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
If the Foam is red that's the liner foam not added. All added foam is black. -

Wearing socks? Where does it say you scan with socks on? Maybe this is why I have had so few issues? I always scan barefoot -

Final word, Ok, again I am not blaming the shop!!!!!!!!!! I said there is a lack of communication from the shop to the factory!!!!!!! In the beginning, the shop had zero accountability according to SMU and I and others disagree!!!! The shop should be 50 50 with the factory and that the factory should and is standing behind what they do and remaking the skates!!! The reason to bring up the others is that I keep seeing how they never make any mistakes and they're so perfect. It's not about defending True it's about getting the record straight and nobody is perfect. My experience is after 30 years that Bauer is the worst CCM is better and True so far has been the best when it comes to custom skates!🤐
