I absolutely agree. I've never had a customer regret buying Trues. But just like you've said for example, the only reason I've held off for example is because I know how hard I am on skates personally and I'm undecided on their durability long term/heavy usage. However from fittings I've done all reports are positive on durability so far
-
Lol, and if you've seen a Bauer skate get produced, there s tape used in them as well, they just add another layer on top under the insoles. Bashing a company in a thread dedicated specifically to that company is extremely immature considering your only experience with them is through word of mouth. I would say that in the cost bracket of top of the line skates, Trues aren't even the ones that need to get rivets fixed as often as some of your favourites. You've made it clear, you don't like them for no apparent reason and you're content with a skate off the shelf. There's no need to be a dick just to be a dick.

we request on the order sheet to drill holes for whichever holder the customer plans on using if we order boot only, and they have all arrived as such.
-
Curious, has anybody had any issues with the padding and foams around the ankles? specifically closer to where your Achilles would line up
-
going through true directly could never hurt as they'd be able to give you a direct explanation and avoiding any type of communication miscues by going through HM. I was a little shocked about the tongue and lace issue. The shop I'm at has done almost 50 pairs to date, and having fit numerous people personally, I will call the person and see when they can come, but not before doing a "prep" of the skate to make sure everything is lined up properly and ready to go, including tongue laces and holder/steel if it was installed in house. a little lack of care on their part IMO. True has told us, as mentioned above that the imperfection can happen when overlapping occurs during the build process and we have never had any issues with it.
-
I don't know if it would cut the boot lower, but I've seen customs with less eyelets in them in the past
-
they offer the shot blocker, they don't offer black step unless your shop carries it for edge holders and you install those after market. tongue options are also available
-
That's where I'm at right now, I currently have 2 jobs to gain experience, however one consistent job with the same hours would be much more manageable while I try to get my life in order haha

Finding full time employment now that I'm done university and grad school is tough. Especially since I decided to stay in the city I moved to for grad school because I was certain there would be more options in my field. It's getting to the point now that I'm best off casting a wider net and settling for something, but I hear so many horror stories about people settling at jobs, and being in my mid twenties I don't want that. Frustrating to say the least.
-
I can't give an exact measurement but it's a noticeably lower cut than the super tacks or ft1 when trying them on off the shelf
-
you mean like CCM's holder that is offered in black?
-
I'm in Canada and if a customer wants different holders or steel we order boot only and do the installation of tuuks and steel in house, True/VH doesn't even supply it.
-
I haven't seen any weakening on the clear coat under the graphics let alone the resin. I'm talking about your wife's/ girlfriends nail polish remover that's in the top drawer, not some heavy duty acetone that you need gloves and a certificate to handle. I think you guys are seriously over thinking most of this.
-
nail polish remover took the graphics off the super tacks with no problem
-
nothing too exuberant, got gifted a code for a free mybauer stick at the conclusion of my contract with them, put it in before the 1x lite was available on the customizer. P92 curve, Blue accents full tactile grip.
-
Very interesting concept, however wouldn't all that movement lead to loss in energy? by no means am I a physicist just curious if that wouldn't be the case. In terms of the reviews and comments, I'd take those with a grain of salt. Whenever somebody has access to a free/heavily reduced price item that item seems to suddenly be the best product on the market since sliced bread in their eyes.

The options for bauers 3D are nexus vapor supreme D or EE width. That's all the scanner is going to do for you unless you're looking into going full customs. Vh is is offering a full digital scan of your feet and those are sent directly to VH to build a custom last. Ccm customs remain main pretty unchanged, less tinkering is available in terms of volume because of the one piece boot compared to previous years but still relatively standard.
-
my first thought when I heard about the 3D scanner from Bauer, is why wouldn't players just use it and go the full custom route since they're already dropping a grand on skates (at least in canada) might as well get everything you want added to them at that cost, including liner and tongues etc
-
the fit centres aren't live yet in Canada, at least not at my location in Ottawa. Depending on what chain of hockey shops you have on the east coast I would call them to inquire if any of their locations are getting a fit station. I know in the Ottawa area the shop I'm at is the only Source for Sports location getting one, not sure about the Pro Hockey Life
-
They're going through retailers. My store is getting a fitting station set up in the coming weeks.
-
Looks like we're getting a fitting station at the Valiquettes source for sports in Ottawa in the coming weeks, in case anybody is in my neck of the woods :)
-
I found it easiest to just call them and order the replacement blades over the phone
-
hats off JR, congrats on the wedding thats amazing. Hoping for nothing but the best for you two!
-
Appreciate the pictures, is it safe to say that the scooter pattern is a p28 clone with a different more traditional blade shape? a la p92?
-
I was a little confused by the curves themselves, I was really intrigued by the scooter pattern in right handed but its so hard to compare it to a digital p28 pattern. Does anyone happen to have one they could post side by side to either a p92 or a p28?
