Listen to the guy above I had to drop down to a size 7 tf9. Which he said right off the bat and I didn’t listen. Only thing I’m not a fan of right now is that they feel big which isn’t the case because my toes are against the cap. Probably the fact that the toe cap isn’t lined with anything where my makos tongue extends to the end of the toe cap. Played one game so far and literally no pain but I’m still getting used to them. I’ll be experimenting with powerfoot inserts which is the perfect accessory for these
-
Yes and it does make it better but ultimately it felt best when I slid the tongue to the end of the toe cap. But then the top of the tongue starts digging into my shin
-
Well as was said the 7s are perfect, at least in length. However it seems like the area near where the toe box would normally meet the boot seems pretty big. Idk if I’m just use to my makos since they wrap even as low as the first eyelet. With these the whole toe area is solid plastic and doesn’t wrap. Maybe I’m just being picky it doesn’t seem like my foot is moving but also it feels too roomy.
-
You’re all right. Honestly the 7.5 feels very similar to the 8 except the ridge they put at the front of the toe box to take up space. However as is always the case my left foot still was barely touching and my right was a little more then grazing. Will return the 7.5 for 7 which they also have to order from another store. p.s I did try on a 6.5 when ordering the 7.0 just to see. Literally could not get my foot in. Also if the area just before the toe box is too wide is that a problem? Obviously narrow causes pain and such but if there’s a lot of space side to side is that negative
-
Thanks for the input. I guess if it’s available that is another option. It just makes me a little nervous as I’m currently using 9D mako(slightly large), 8.5 alkali skates which my toe is against the cap, and a 10 in most shoes.
-
So it’s weird 7.5 ccm was borderline to small. Bauer fit well length wise but the area just before my toes was too narrow. I did try on 8’s in most skates though and I really had to try to reach the toecap in them some of which I could reach. The 7.5 vapor probably fit the best but was getting a lot of pressure top of the mid foot on the left skate My one foot is about half a size different almost. The arch on the longer one is flatter causing that foot to play slightly wider in the mid foot and slightly less volume too. Due to this I am seriously considering some customs if the 7.5 don’t work out.
-
Was unable to try 7.5’s but ordered them through the store(pure hockey) and will see how they feel. Best part is the y’all bake them and I can still return them if they don’t fit. Same employee helped me again and we tried every skate again. Like minimum 7 different skates. Problem was once I got down to 7.5, no boot was comfortable around the first eyelet. Whether the toe box was too narrow or volume in that area was short, no boot worked. The only boot that had enough space was the trues which actually seemed like way to much space. So hopefully the 7.5 gets me closer to what I need. If not guess ill have to save for some customs
-
Was that to me? If so no. I just didn’t think to ask for the 7.5 while I was there and I specified I wasn’t buying today as it may be a potential bday present. I asked if to try on an 8 expecting them to drop them at my feet and he came back out with 5 boxes of different skates and watched me lace them all up. Really helpful actually

So I’m looking at the tf9 to replace my makos I’m feathering the toe box with an 8r. My makos are a 9 and should probably be an 8.5. I tried on 3x/3s pro in a fit 1 size 8 and was also feathering the toes. My question is without getting them baked, is there any way of knowing truly what will be best? I sort of gambled with my makos(got the length wrong though) and it worked out. I would like to go. And should I be trying 7.5. we did the Bauer scan and it said I was 8.75 right foot and 8.25 left foot. last thing, is the tf9 in a class above the 3s/3x pro feature wise? I’ve been out of the gear whore life for a while so still can’t really tell.
-
I grabbed the last 8.5 of the max+ on pure hockey and hockey monkey had a handful of sizes it seemed. One of which was the 9 I ordered and will probably be returning. Pure hockey not only matched hockey monkeys price but they even informed me that I can use the skates and still return them which doesn't make sense to me but I won't argue. Luckily the 8.5 might just be perfect.

It kind of does thank you. Like I said the 8.5 isn't bad with superfeet in but I think at least my right skate would need a little extra space for it to remain comfortable. That's why I'm concerned with how much space I will gain with a bake and breaking in. If the skate doesn't gain too much length I think I'll have to opt for the 9
-
Got the 8.5 currently and after lacing them up i feel my toe just touching the cap. After kicking my heel back and skating around the house. I kinda feel my toes subconsciously curling up to avoid hitting the cap. Im ordering 9's just to see the fit but realistically how much space can I expect to get after baking and breaking the skates in and tossing in some superfeet. Superfeet seem to help a little but I'd hate to bake the 8.5s then have to sell them if they don't work out.
-
So after some research I've decided to order a pair of max+ skates in an 8.5. I'm a 10 in most footwear and pure hockey only had 8.5 or 9.5 which I currently have and feel are too big. Worse case scenario I can order them elsewhere in a 9 and return the 8.5 to my local store. Im sure the tips are everywhere but does anyone have any tips for sizing the skates and making sure the skates are the right fit. My current alkalis I can slide my right foot forward and fit almost 2 finger in the back. My 9 makos are basically perfect and fit in 8.5 current gen missions.
-
While I agree, at least on my shifts, I notice most of the weight comes from the chassis itself. My mission lieutenants were heavy but it was from the boot. The chassis on my shifts is thick, almost to the point I think it would break a puck before it broke. So I welcome the bit of weight. I'm sure the magnesium chassis on these is phenomenal.

In the first pic, does it look to shallow. They felt alright when they were on. Then when I took them off I had this. I figure worse comes to worse if I bake them and they don't work I could always sell them and try and get a bit back.
-
Good to know. Also do the tongues have any molding properties like the rest of the boot. I think these would fit perfect if the tongue was a bit thinner. I had them on for maybe 30 mins just sitting down and after taking them off and my fore foot was a bit red.
-
Is it common for these skates to be hard to get on when trying them on for the first time? I just recieved mine and had to un lace like the first 4 laces to get them on. Normal or bad sign
-
Well I just checked every store I know about in my area and only found a lone pair of makos in a 7. I'm really looking to snag a pair of makos off of HM. Worse comes to worse I return them for credit. I'm just concerned because I really don't know the type of foot I have. Now that I recall my second pair of roller skates were missions in a 10.5 ee that fit well minus the length so any shot of me fitting In these
-
I'm having a hard time finding them locally. I still have a couple places to check. I was just wondering if you had any ideas as to the size I'd shoot for.
-
This may be a difficult question to answer but I figure why not ask. I'm trying to figure out if these skates will work for my feet and If they will what size should work. The only skate I have to reference off of is my alkali shifts in a 9.5 d. The only ice skate I own is a 11ee mission xp 90. Needless to say they fit terribly and only used them for public skates. I know they are not the same but the alkali is very moldable and probably the best skate I have worn so far And was hoping the mako would be similar. If it matters my most common shoe size is 10.5
-
After about 7 months with my shifts I have come to love these skates. My only concern is that on my right foot, I have a hard time getting awesome heel lock. My left foot is perfect but it seems the right just doesnt want to get locked down. Superfeet had helped but I'm not there yet. I was looking Into stable 26 socks but before I spend money on those I would like to know if there is anything I could try without an aid like stable 26
-
Ya that and that they had original dynasty sticks for the same price as the new ax1lts. In there defense they are an all around sports store (football, lax, apparel) so those employees may be for other sports but for a while they were one of the better hockey shops around here and it suck that they a basically useless now
-
Went to the lhs the other day looking for cages. They had no cages so I did my normal wandering around. Went past the skates and kind of just eavesdropped on the salesman with a customer. This guy had 0 clue on what he was doing. The people asked if he had played hockey and his response was no but I've watched a couple games so I know a little bit. Then continued to ask what color skates he liked best as they all pretty much fit the same. I almost told the guy to scram and let me do his job. It's a shame too because they fired all the employees who actually knew how to fit skates and hired a bunch of people who don't know the first thing about hockey.
-
Ya from what Justin had told me after a Bake and proper break in, the length only changes about 1/8th of an inch. From my experience I have noticed little to no length change in my rpd shifts which so far my only problem with them is my foot feels very loose where the toe cap and and boot meet, opposite of what people generally feel
-
Your foot should not feel scrunched. The key is to be feathering the toe cap. Also yes tieing the skate pushes the foot back a bit but you should bend your knees like a hockey stance as that will slide the foot back. It sounds like you may need half a size up
