Thanks. Unfortunately True does not make youth skates and ccms are all plastic and not moldable, so Bauer is my only option. I may try an ankle sleeve like you posted or just rebake and Saran Wrap. Anyone add neoprene or other adhesive backed around the ankle collar or use those gel inserts? I’m kinda a mad scientist with sport’s equipment so I love this stuff

My daughter has narrow ankles. She is skating youth vapor 3x, and there are not boot size options for youth beyond standard. I have rebaked them but her ankles still wobble a bit when laced and skating. Any inside boot or ankle sleeve options? I know strength will help over time but she has skated for a few years now, part of it still anatomy related. Thanks

My daughter is using the elbow pads, no complaints so far, which is a minor miracle :). They have held up well and have nice range of motion, I’d recommend them if you just need something basic with decent forearm coverage.

My daughter has junior ft4s which are too small. Our lhs does not have the ft6 pros in stock (the ft4 has been eliminated). The ft680s appear to be a much cheaper build that the ft4s she has. Are these just plastic? They are not the same build as the ft 680 senior boots and appear to be the same as the 670s except for the tendon guard and a few other minor details. Are these similar build quality as Bauer x4s or m4s? She really liked her ft4s, I’m a bit hesitant to go down to the 680s, we could order the ft6 pros too. thanks for any info
