Bummer, there‘s not much I can do then. Maybe the cuff roll can be replaced. Are you looking to move your mitts @JR Boucicaut?

Thanks for your replies guys! @JR Boucicaut Did you find a way to mend this? Do you still have your Z-Airs?

Hi everyone I have a question for you guys concerning an older Easton pro stock glove I have. It‘s an old Brad RichardsTampa Bay glove that has a leather cuff roll that seems to exhibit some kind of deterioration. The white coloring/paint(?) on the cuff roll has become very sticky in places and comes of upon touch. Have you guys ever seen this kind of deterioration (see image)? Can this be stopped or are the cuffs lost?

Does anybody know how pro stock Mako’s differ from the retail version? Also, is anybody able to figure out the tag in mine? Are they pro stock?

Did anybody here switch from Mako II‘s to True by any chance?

Thanks for your reply, I‘ll be on the lookout then for a pair in size 9. Another question relating to the Mako‘s, can the extendon guards be replaced?

Hmmm... so I dug out those old Synergy skates (they are a 9.5) and they fit me super snug, even unlaced. My toes touch the toe cap. I still wonder if the Mako‘s will fit similar...

Yep, pretty accurate. I do wear my shoes snug, but not tight, then again the sizing varies even within brands... I wear anywhere from a 9 to a 10.5. My size 10 Red Wing Chukka boots that fit me very well (they were a bit tight at first) say 28cm on the label. I do remember those Synergy skates fitting fine, not loose but also not super snug. The Razor Blade holders on that skate were a size 288, while on my current skates they are a Tuuk LS2 at 280.

Thanks for your reply guys! My feet meassure 27.8 cm (left) and 28 cm (right) and I used to have a pair of Synergy skates way back when they were first released (2005ish?) and they were a size 9.5 US. I do wear a US shoe size of around 10 usually. So I probably should be about a size 8.5 or 9 in Makos, no?

I have two questions concerning the Mako skates: Size: In the experience of those of you who used them, do they run true to your shoe size? Did anybody actually order from that ad on Facebook and receive their skates? Thanks for your help!

Mine also took around two weeks from scanning to delivery.

I see! I completely understand, it’s best to try as many as you can. I can only recommend the VH/True skates, I have difficult feet myself and the True’s are the first skates ever that fit my feet like slippers.

Are the VH/True skates not an option?

I used to have the Quest 1 skates too and quite liked them but eventually switched to Easton (Z-Air Comp, Synergy) then stopped playing and now bought the VH/True skates, which in my personal opinion are the best fitting most responsive skates I ever had. I seem to remember that the Quest skates were quite heavy and as stated above quite narrow.

Thanks for your replies guys! So the Warrior and Eagle gloves seem to get a lot of love here. How is their fit, as I stated, I don't like snug fitting gloves, they have to fit somewhat loosely. Has anybody ever used the True gloves? I do like the Z-Palm concept but wonder if it works in real life. @stick9 I would re-palm the Bauers but there are also threads coming loose on the fingers and other parts, the quality is just really awful...
