You can have both an inside and outside edge, but if the runners are not square you can have issues (depending on how far off they are). I'd take them back and have them check them, particularly for levelness. If all is good then get a good 10-12 hours of skating on them since there's always going to be an adjustment period when breaking in new skates.

I was a devout heel curve user for decades. Knowing in advance that they were being phased out I transitioned to a P92. As for saucing, if your technique is good you can sauce with any curve.

Nexus protective is 2N and senior sizing only.

Looks like the adopted the alternative lacing system from the 2S Pro.

I'd have no problem putting you in a Supreme looking at that scan. The 3D Skate analyzes and recommends best fit or primary fit. Where you have one foot which is wider than the other going custom is a good decision.

JR is correct. 1 year on the holders and 90 days on steel. Use to be on Bauer's website before they turned that URL into an online store.

Since almost everyone has one foot that is bigger than the other you'll get a better fit which should result in better performance. The overall goal to maximizing any skate's performance is to minimize negative space. That's the benefit to going custom. In addition there are other options over retail if one so chooses to opt for them.

What you meant to say was "Gretzky" blue Tuuks...

From a retail perspective that steel is a huge success. While it offers no performance gains it appeals to the hordes of younger skaters out there.

Almost every online site will describe skate sizing as "manufacturer recommends 1.5 size down from shoe size". Which is why a size 8 skate will say US 9.5 on some skates. However, no one ever buys a tight fitting shoe/sneaker so that will make "that skate sizing" too big to begin with. Then you factor in personal preference as to how someone wants their skate to fit. I agree that the majority of skaters want comfort and for that 1/2 size up from performance fit will give you that. Anything bigger than that and in my opinion takes away from one's skating ability significantly.

If 2 separate manufacturers using 3D scanning technology recommend a skate size that is down 1 and 1/2 sizes from your current skate then your skates are TOO big. For someone whose feet have stopped growing your goal is to get your feet into a skate without any negative space. For someone whose feet are still growing you don't want to be any bigger than 1/2 size up from pro fit. Did you try on any of the recommended retail skates to see how they fit? How any one person wants a skate to fit comes down to personal preference. I recently did a pair of MyBauer customs where the customer went with the recommended sizing and was completely satisfied with the fit.

For modifications to that area of the skate I would seek the help of a competent shop guy.

You can punch out just about any part of the boot if you have the right tools. @customskateworks even designed a boot punch that will work on toe caps too.

Did a pair of MyBauer 2S Pro's for a player who had full size difference between feet. Delivery was just about 2 weeks from the date the order was submitted. Fit and finish were flawless. Fit post bake was perfect.

Sweet holders and steel on that Ribcor skate...

Flex spray would probably work too. Pretty sure it comes in clear as well as black. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Flex-Seal-14-oz-Aerosol-Liquid-Rubber-Sealant-Can-in-Black-FSR20/203144520

http://www.hecc.net/certprods.html Simple search shows they have 3 models that are certified. Me, I would have just believed OldTrainerGuy...

Not all of us forgot about the Sakic. Reason why the P92 became so popular at the Pro level and killed the YP curves is that a lot of pros grew up using the Easton Sakic and continued to use it.

I think they need to work on the standard shipping timeframe. 7 - 10 days is a longtime. Especially when most of the bigger online shops are normally 3 - 5 days.

What's your source? Totally false statement.

Some fellow members here will say that I'm unfair to True/VH, but while I think that skate has potential I personally wouldn't buy one until they address a couple of issues. Since you've had Bauer skates before and know how they fit your feet, seems like that's the safest route to go. Any issues that you have had with current skates can be noted in the foot scans and the Bauer skate experts will evaluate them and figure out what if any adjustments need to be made, I've done the Bauer 3D scan more than once and I'll share my thoughts. Barefoot and with a slight knee bend it consistently puts me in a 7EE. If I hit the custom skate option my right foot measures a 7.25 with width what I'll call EE+; and my left measures a 6.75 EEE+. I prefer my skates to fit very tight, so using retail skate stock I've found that in a 6.5EE, my bigger foot isn't touching the toecap, but in a 6EE my toes hit the cap hard. So being able to adjust the size up or done in 1/4 increments I'd probably go with 6.25 on the right and 5.75 on the left. Normally I wouldn't go smaller than a 6 on the left, but since my scan will be 3D printed I'm pretty confident that the skate will be built wide enough to accommodate the width of my left foot. My current skates are 6EE Supreme 1S'. My advice would be to do the 3D scan a few times, making sure that your stance is the same each time until you're comfortable with the results. Since how a skate fits involves some personal preference, I'd try stock skates on in the recommended size along with 1/2 size down to see how you want it to fit. If need be you can try on smaller or bigger skates to dial in your fit preference. Just remember a new skate out of the box will be its smallest when new and that you'll gain a little more space once baked and later on with use.

Not sure what your definition of "full" custom is?

Doubt the goal of the MyBauer custom skate program was/is to address players who only have "wonky" feet. The majority of skaters have different sized feet and sometimes different widths. If done correctly using retail fit stock the MyBauer program allows the customer to dial in the fit to what they want. For example, right foot scans a 7.5 and left a 7. But in retail skates the 7.5 is too big on the right and a 7 is too small. Now you have the option to 7.25 on the right and can adjust the left as well. Along with getting a more precise fit lengthwise you'll also get true width sizing based of the foot scan and 3D print. It also affords you a choice of tongues, liner, and steel. As for issues with the injected lacing system the times I have seen it was from a bad fit where someone who should have been in a size 7 was wearing a skate way too big (1 1/2 to 2 sizes too big). The break most likely resulted from cranking the laces so tight to try to get their foot from feeling so loose. I've had injected lacing for the past 5 years and haven't had any issues. I prefer that over traditional facing and eyelets as I feel it performs better over the life of the skate. My opinion and some will disagree is that the pencil test isn't the absolute indicator as to whether a skate will or won't work for you volume wise. I'm not knocking it but I know a fairly large number of elite skaters that fail the pencil test but have no issues. The best answer to your question is with the SF in are you experiencing a lot of pressure on the top of your foot? If you aren't, then you're probably going to okay with the SF. If you are, you may still be okay but my concern would be that over time you may have issues with lace bite.

7.5D should have 263mm steel. 272mm typically is size 8 and 8.5D. Look at the bottom of the holder on the rear tower. It will have the holder/runner size marked on it there.

I always viewed SuperFeet as a heel stabilizing footbed with some support that extends to the arch, but not specific arch support for low, mid, or high arches. Problem with SuperFeet is that the heel cup is going to push your foot higher up in the skate and could mess with heel lock and lead to volume issues because of the space that it takes up. So if you already fill the skate out the added volume could lead to lace bite. A lot of retailers push it with every skate purchase since it adds on to the sale. SpeedPlate 2.0 will support your foot as it is which in theory will provide for better energy transfer. I really liked the original SpeedPlate and am looking forward to when I transition to the 2.0.
