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?
-
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

Generally a jock and garter user, very excited when this came special delivery from Sweden.

I did, just to round out the collection, I now have one in 300, 260, 220, 180, and 160
