Then the boot probably wasn't soft enough. Never had an issue with my trues but those get pretty soft
-
This works to specifically pinpoint areas without risking eyelet damage. Or using your hands to massage the boot around your foot after tying at 60%. The eyelet facings will wrap more and produce some slack in the laces which will also prevent excessive pulling on the eyelets. Or... True saran wrap method.

The catalogue is also pics of retail. Tf retail has slight differences than the tf customs. So this isn't a surprise.

I thought he just pulled his sleeves up not actually had them cut off.

Just get new holders if you have a trustworthy LHS.

Same place / site that was just posted but this link is for vh and pre TF true skates. https://www.hockeyvancouver.ca/collections/true-vh-hockey-skate-repair-parts/products/true-hockey-replacement-heel-tendon-guard

Basically a lizard skin knockoff.
-
Butt endz is a huge waste of money when you can get tacki macs. I like the subtle looks of tacki macs better too. I personally like lizard skins the best. Soft and grippy and doesn't damage palms. Only thing is that black does transfer some colour onto the palms but they don't damage the palms. Lizard skins also don't last as long as butt endz or tacki Mac and isn't transferrable from stick to stick. I only get lizard skins on sale. Otherwise I'd settle with stretch grip tape. Or even tennis grip.

There's no way all the holes would line up if you went from shift holders to any other holder. Unless you're talking about tthe old step vh holders

I did it myself. If you know how to use a needle and thread it's simple. I just used normal sewing thread. You could get a thicker waxed thread if you want. Just get something like this https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0789S6B4C/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_i_SZG4TR0W2DAWJQGR0PRD It has adhesives too but I find it'll tend to detach slightly at the corners. What I did was stick it on the tongue and just sew the top and bottom part of the strip to prevent it from lifting. Or u can bypass sewing and see how well the adhesives hold on its own. If you don't want to deal with any labor just buy the Velcro and bring into any place that will do it for you. Ie. Tailor, pro shop, shoe repair, etc. I personally wouldn't pay anyone to do this 10 min job though

Last year and you only noticed now?
-
It's the loop Velcro on the tongue that is trash. The hook part that's on the boot is actually fine. Two options 1) permanently sew the tongue on. 2) replace the loop Velcro on the tongue with Velcro brand industrial loop. Ive done option two with great results. I even extended the loop area higher as I like to push the tongue into the toebox. This way theres more surface area for the hook to grab onto when there's an extended piece of loop on the tongue. I agree though. The loop on the tongue is pathetic. After a few adjustments they fray.

The retailer doesn't lose anything from the satisfaction guarantee so they shouldn't care. CCM eats the cost.
-
Howie's have just the right amount of wax. Elite has too much imo.
-
Unless there's a legitimate reason given to you why did you listen to it? Makes no sense to me. Stock laces are garbage. At minimum upgrade to better laces in general.
-
Are you using waxed laces? If not try those. I've never been a fan of the injected eyelets since they don't conform as well as traditional eyelets. Maybe a second bake to get the eyelet facings to wrap more?
-
For me I didn't need much of an adjustment with true skates when I went from my Bauer one100s years ago. They were so comfortable and responsive. I did however get them when they came with the step vh holders and had the steel profiled to the same profile as my old skates.
-
Thoughts? Get what you usually use...
-
If you wear your skates that often then that's just wear and tear. Is it ugly or is in not functional ?
-
YouTube vh and or true skate adjustments and you will find different videos. It's too much to explain here. True skates are highly tweakable compared to other skates. Having skates hurt you after 2 hours of being in them consecutively isn't uncommon even for trues. Lots of people say they can be in trues for hours at a time but I wouldn't consider it unusual even if trues cause you some issues after 2 hrs of being on the ice.
-
You can put the 263 if you want. Any reputable hockey shop should be able to. It's always been recommended to go a hollow less with trues bc of the feeling of increased bite. This probably has more to do with the responsiveness of the skate than anything. You can change the pitch or the skate by profiling or shims or swapping holders back to what you're used to.
-
I've never had issues with trues clarino liner. You can choose the wick liner if you don't like the clarino or vice versa. I Just tried 3s pros and overall they fit pretty decent but honestly nothing will match trues in terms of comfort. But asking someone who fits in trues whether they fit on x skates isn't really accurate. any custom skates are made for the person's actual feet and aren't indicative of retail skates.
-
Maybe rebake or spot heat the the outer portion. Does it hurt when you put them on or in general. As for the soles of your feet, is it the arches specifically? Where exactly on your soles. More info needed. There really shouldn't be a break in period with Trues.
-
The boot should be more flexible. If it were just the tendon guard that wouldn't make any sense.
