Skating for the third time tonight on my Trues, I will write up some thoughts eventually... lol. Overall I really like them so far.
-
That's nice and convenient for you, haha. Is the showroom nice?
-
Not positive, but it looks like your tongue without the accents may be the type of tongue that is designated to have the embroidered number on it. I’m going off of how my tongues look but I could be wrong.
-
At Ultimate Skate, they heated them for 8 minutes, IIRC... I didn’t notice the instructions until I left the rink, lol. They were still really hot when I put them on so I don’t think it was a problem.
-
Spotted a linesman using the skates with the Step holder, looks like he tried to (had to?) black out the outside silver panel.
-
I’ve got some glue showing (to be expected from something handmade IMO, so no big deal to me) but no bubbling...
-
Thanks man :)

Got my skates today, going to skate with them later tonight so I will post some thoughts on that later. Initial thoughts from seeing them/getting them baked, etc. The fit - Wow. They really do feel like a "comfy shoe" when you put them on. They feel NOTHING like a traditional skate boot. This is a true wrap around your foot, different from anything I have ever tried. I have had 3(!) reconstructive foot surgeries due to genetically collapsed arches and also Haglund's deformity. Needless to say, I have been a prime candidate for custom skates for years so finally getting them is nice. The presentation by True is pretty impressive - it has a very Apple-like feel to it once you open the box up, with magnets in the flaps and a new car smell. Very nicely done and I know it's just a box but when you drop this kind of money on something, it's nice to see the extra effort put in. I somehow ended up with VH/Step holders instead of True branded ones, not sure if that was intentional or not but it's not a big deal to me. Here are some pics I took, can't wait to hit the ice tonight :)

What kind of steel is that? Step black?

Found this pic of me circa 1993-94. God, I loved those Mega Air 90 skates, they were awesome. My two-tone Cooper SK2000 and mullet went together quite nicely too, I must say :)
-
Glad you got them! I am still waiting on mine, hopefully not too much longer :) Thanks for the writeup, too - stuff like that lets me know what to expect. I may end up using my Superfeet Carbon from my Super Tacks (current skates) if I don't like the True Footbeds but we shall see.
-
Thanks for the update... sorry to hear the fit seems a bit off so far. Hopefully that changes as you tweak them a bit more and get some more skates in.

Any profiling done?
-
Is anything rubbing against the area that is hurting?
-
Awesome, man. Please keep the updates coming!
-
Not a fan of the new practice jerseys whatsoever.
-
Now that sucks.
-
Me too... 4 weeks as of yesterday and I keep waiting for that email or phone call that says they are on the way to the shop for me.

Oh believe me, I think more individuality in terms of personality is a good thing for the NHL... definitely more guys like Subban, Doughty and the kind of confidence and swagger they bring to the game can only help draw more fans in. I don't care about the look of the skates at all really but I do think 66 should be off limits the same way 99 is. I would throw 87 into that category as well. That being said, I am rooting for Ho-Sang to prove his critics wrong and for him to be a dynamic talent in the show. He had good numbers in his stint last season, hopefully he builds on that.
-
I think for a rookie, he is gonna get a lot of flak for having those skates... it's bad enough already that he wears 66.
-
On an unrelated note, his laces look like a mess.
-
I was going by the tongue embroidery... I haven't seen any company other than True do that with that same font. Maybe someone in the know can clarify.
-
Subban in True skates?
