Some materials are more thermoform able than others. Often times I've seen Bauer models with Curv mold around the bone and not require any punching. Nylon boots on the other hand often require punching. Either way any reputable shop should have the know how and tools to take care of it.

Just have the accessory navicular area punched on a good fitting skate. If the skates are creasing this quickly I can't see them holding up in the long run. I'd be worried the boot is going to break down prematurely.

For synthetic ice I'd be looking for a solid panel.

There's a lot going on with the tongue. At the very beginning I felt that there was too much felt where it begins at the toecap. I've had mine for almost a year now and that area has compressed significantly. If I don't like what next year's new Supreme offers I'll just pick up another pair of 2S Pro's.

I've had MX3's, 1S's and 2S Pro's with the injected eyelets. I'm a big fan of them and feel that they maintain their flex properties better than traditional facing/eyelets over the life of the skate.

Bauer's clone of the Easton Roenick Pro.

They are softer and squishy to me. Carbon is the way I would go if going SuperFeet.

Spot on...

Doesn't sound like the best business model.

I've seen it with Step in cases where the skater just throws soakers on the skates and then they going-the bag and stay there until the next ice time. Problem of not taking care of your skates and steel. Certainly not the fault of Step.

If you're referring to a MyBauer custom the following link pretty much says it all:

I've seen it all. Skaters with the shallow/low volume foot skating in a high volume skate and those with a high volume foot in a low volume skate. That and in skates way too big. I tell customers that the scanner recommends best fit or primary fit. Everyone has a secondary fit. You just have to have a fitter who knows what he/she is doing and knows how to read the scan and scanner. Recommended sizing is a good starting point, but skater preference plays a role in final sizing,

The goal of most retailers is not to fit you to level of one's play and what is best, but rather to put you or your child in the most expensive skate you willing to pay for.

A few questions: What size are the skates? What size footwear do you normally wear? Did they have the 3D Skate Lab and scan your feet?

Better footbed and a better attachment system for the tendon guard.

What size is that? I weighed the size 8 sample skate with the new holder and steel and it came in at 750 grams. Skate needs a couple of more improvements IMO, but the weight reduction is a good one.

Locking mechanism looks solid. With profiling and sharpening you're probably going to go through steel with the lower profile runner quickly.

Love to see side and back views of Chara with that same helmet. Not sure that it fits him right?

I see 2 sticks there that are perfect for SummerJam...

Says Kucherov on the shaft. More curious as to what the build is?

Currently going back and forth between the Zuperior small and Quad 0 on 254 runners and have a real hard time finding a distinct difference between the two.

Looks like they launched it today. Minimum order of 2 at $319.99 each. Blade stiffness, shaft geometry and grip options, max height blades for P28, P88, and P92 along with Benn, Laine, Kane, Kucherov, and Pastrnak pro patterns.

Profile 1 – Detroit 1 (10/20) Steel - Bauer LS5 254 Hollow- 90/50 FBV Background Older skater who has been skating for over 40-years. Played high school hockey and some college hockey. Currently playing 3 times a week at a competitive level. Over the years I have tried many different profiles ranging from doubles, a triple, couple of quads, and Pro Skate Balance’s 35/65. I started out with the stock profile in an attempt to reset myself before beginning testing profiles for the ProSharp Project. Review First impression was somewhat similar to the Glide 60 in that I could immediately feel that there was a lot of steel in contact with the ice. Felt gains in acceleration, speed, and stability over the standard 10’ profile but at the expense of agility and mobility. Probably better suited for someone who’s game is predominantly straight line and doesn’t compliment my style of play. I have now skated on four vastly different profiles covering single, dual, triple, and quadruple radii. While I can safely say that I immediately knew that 2 of the these profiles (Glide 60 and Detroit 1) wouldn’t work for me I still have to spend more time with the Zuperior and Quad 0 to figure out which one is better for me. That’s the next test for me. Acceleration- 3 Mobility- 2 Stability- 4 Speed- 4 * Similar impression to that of the Glide 60. if my game consisted of nothing but up and down the ice skating in a straight-line fashion then this would be good for the speed and stability factors.

Profile 1 – Quad 0 (6-9-11-13) Steel - Bauer LS5 254 Hollow- 90/50 FBV Background Older skater who has been skating for over 40-years. Played high school hockey and some college hockey. Currently playing 3 times a week at a competitive level. Over the years I have tried many different profiles ranging from doubles, a triple, couple of quads, and Pro Skate Balance’s 35/65. I started out with the stock profile in an attempt to reset myself before beginning testing profiles for the ProSharp Project. Review Really didn’t feel any huge improvements over the Zuperior Small profile previously skated on. Most of the attributes remained unchanged with the exception of some modest changes in mobility. To date I have done a single, triple, and quad with just a double left to test out. Next up will be the Detroit 1 (10-20). My plans are to narrow things down to best 2 and then give both those profiles ample time to distinguish the better of those 2. Then once narrowed down I’ll compare that profile to Pro Skate Balance’s 35/65 and see which one works best for me. Acceleration- 3.5 Mobility- 4 Stability- 4 Speed- 3

Profile 1 – Zuperior Small (6-12-20) Steel - Bauer LS5 254 Hollow- 90/50 FBV Background Older skater who has been skating for over 40-years. Played high school hockey and some college hockey. Currently playing 3 times a week at a competitive level. Over the years I have tried many different profiles ranging from doubles, a triple, couple of quads, and Pro Skate Balance’s 35/65. I started out with the stock profile in an attempt to reset myself before beginning testing profiles for the ProSharp Project. Review I felt improvements in all four areas with this profile. Quicker first step with excellent agility and stability. Transitioning from forward to backward skating was seamless. Was hoping for better overall speed gains but an improvement no matter how small is still a win-win situation. At this point of the project I plan on keeping the Zuperior Small and will add combo and quad profiles to those I plan on testing. Acceleration- 3.5 Mobility- 3.5 Stability- 4 Speed- 3
