    Very much so, I heated and flattened out the arches considerably with no issue. Used the shop boot stretcher, but be very careful.
  2. Buzz_LightBeer
    You can spot heat it with a heat gun and apply outward pressure with your fingers to stretch the problem area, if that doesn't cure it, do the same at LHS with a boot press. Just to clarify; you were properly sized for them?
  3. Buzz_LightBeer
    I'd go 7.5, thinking you'd gain 1/4" or so with heating.

    I block quite a good number of shots, on purpose, shots off the tongue hurt very little. A solid shot to the side of the foot stings initially (as it should), but goes away quick. No issue so far for me.

    I use stock footbeds with extra toe lifts (PP). With the flexibility of the heated boot, I wouldn't imagine your need too heavy duty of a footbed, it was described to me that the boot can mold and "act as its own orthotic" in some regards. Maybe it's in my head but the thin foodbed combined with the thin boot sole has a certain responsiveness to it on the ice.

    10-12 should suffice for the average foot. Guys who need more fine tuning could do 16 or upwards. 16 minutes on the box were earlier ones, 10 minutes tends to work for the majority.

    I am a guy with very flat feet, after baking, my arch was 100% fine on the left, and 90% on the right. After two sessions, I used a heat gun on low heat to heat just my arch area, and was literally able to make up the difference by puttin light pressure on the area with my thumb. Have not ha an issue since. These accommodate low arches very well.

    MLX - 8 Mako - 8.5 One100 - 8.5 One95 - 8.5 Flexlite 4.0 - 8.5 Fit pretty consistent with Bauer for me

    The temp difference (200 vs 185) shouldn't be too critical. The 10 minutes at 200 guideline is a general guideline for a guy with "average" feet. That timeline can be flexible for guys who need a bit more. As with the MLX, you can spot heat areas with a heat gun on low setting to massage out and other pressure (I did a bit in my arches to accommodate flat feet). Another first impression I had was a bit of initial discomfort on the base of my feet. While it was very short lived, it was explained as the feeling of extra foot support, comparable to what guys feel when getting orthotics.

    I was able to manipulate mine to accomodate flat feet, and stretched the width a bit with little difficulty. Guys who are able to wear most retail skates after heating should find these workable.

    the garter plastic seems cheap, but we shall see
  13. Buzz_LightBeer
    Generally a jock and garter user, very excited when this came special delivery from Sweden.

    I can't one up BGSU breezers, but I got these recently. PSHG shipped from Exeter, ON to Milwaukee, WI in less than 48 hours. WOW
  17. Buzz_LightBeer
    That is deceiving, but I think it's an illusion, the 239 compared to the 309 looks like 2 different colors.
  18. Buzz_LightBeer
    Are the bulk of those team colors stock, or booking only? LA Kings Vintage gloves

    Tverdovsky and Desjardins (one was P23 if I'm not mistaken) were both mids, P10 was Bure, I think way back when Bauer also had P12 at retail as "Francis." I saw the P28 Mako in a righty, I compared it to something more extreme than P92, but not as extreme as a Gionta. Definitely more usable than the average toe curve.
  23. Buzz_LightBeer
    Pretty sure C5 is a blade code, I have a few C5XXS and such
