    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.

    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.
  11. crispy92
    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.
  12. crispy92
    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
  13. crispy92
    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
  14. crispy92
    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.
  15. crispy92
    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

    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.
  18. crispy92
    Well part of it can be the fit. I believe the real reason for it is an ice boot generally is constructed better. Lighter and stiffer. Plus you pick your components.
  19. crispy92
    Thinking about getting a pair of EQ50's to convert to roller. Anyone know how they fit. Also im anybody know a place in Long Island that does good conversion

    What do you guys think of a 2001 chevy malibu with 97,000 miles for $2,500. ive heard good and bad about these cars but idk what to believe so any advice would be good
  21. crispy92
    Anyone else agree that scrambler actually works against you. Its easy to find people when they have scrambler. You get near them, screen gets fuzzy, whip out the shotguns and done. GT:crispy1392 add me edit: just played a game a someone "speedhacked" the game. It was basically like having no gravity with lightweight and marathon pro x100. it was insane
  22. crispy92

  23. crispy92
