Any dealer selling Mako skates should be able to call Easton and have a new pair sent.
-
Sorry to derail but any blades in the sale?
-
I thought they were at the bottom of the Hudson. Nice!
-
I have a wide, very flat foot. I've been skating in 8.5D (same size as Bauer) and after some spot stretching had no difficulty at all.

Or rivets too long for the job at hand. -
Used/consignment is a terribly difficult market. Best of luck!!!
-
I wear an 8.5D, but tried on an 8EE that felt almost identical. Personally I like my skates as small and tight as comfortably possible. Perhaps try the EE's one half size smaller.
-
Keep in mind this is a boot that is meant to be fit somewhat snug. I have an E width foot, and after baking, I have no width issues in D width Makos. How snug is your foot in the current Eastons you have?
-
3-8" or 1/2" if I had to guess
-
More likely too long, because the sole is so thin.
-
I generally wear EE Bauers, and after molding D Makos I have no issue. Sometimes it's a tight squeeze getting them in but no fit issues.
-
Me. Spot heating and pushing out the arch makes a world of difference.
-
65 flex? Or are my eyes playing tricks?
-
If the footbed was thin enough to go unnoticed, I'd say its thin enough not to require rebaking
-
pretty common problem with that area of the skate. The spot in question needs to be heated and "rolled" outward so that seam sort of "blooms" out around your ankle. keep in mind that you need to let that blister heal as well as the skate will most likely keep agitating it even after the initial problem is fixed.
-
They're rare, and coveted. And now they're available to anybody who wants them.
-
Better gear, not nearly as cost effective. Haha

Solid haul from the Admirals garage sale.

I had a few pro blades in that style with Nike branding. But that's got the Harpoon system on it, I'd say retail as well.
-
If you're foot is able to slide forward in the boot, I'd suggest; 1- take the footbeds out to let them dry between skates, sometimes moisture between the sole and footbed can cause abberant movement in the boot. 2- make sure they are tied tight enough around the top 3-4 eyelets to stop your foot from moving forward 3- make sure you keep proper knee bend. If the ankle/Achilles of your foot is not too pronounced, the aggressive nature of the boot could cause forward movement of the foot. Keeping in mind, you're only talking about 1/8" or so to cause your foot to rub. You could always give barefoot a try...

Yes you can, the boots hot so I'd use a gloves hand (mechanics glove, not a hockey glove) I wore socks when I baked them but I skate barefoot
-
Very much so, I heated and flattened out the arches considerably with no issue. Used the shop boot stretcher, but be very careful.
-
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?
