    Oh well. Just change the holders. If I were to get stock Trues I'd swap em out for xs holders anyways. Even with customs id just have them predrilled for xs holders and the shift holder unmounted

    It's weird to think there wasn't much room to get a holder one size up to fit since the boot itself should technically be about the same as as your previous skates. Going half a size down in trues would only mean their boots are overrated for it's size .. which confuses me why their size 6.5 skates require a 254 holder if in theory their 6.5 is the same length as ccm or Bauer 7 which uses a 263 holder

    Now I have all three fits from CCM... Not in picture is the ccm 4r pro2 These are the 9080 tacks and ft390. Didn't feel like paying 60+ dollars for the as1 and ft1 when, imo, these second tier are more or less the same. Of the three fits I feel the jetspeeds fit the best for me. All are very comfortable though.

    Oh you're totally right. I was just suggesting why there are some ppl who wear skates 2 sizes smaller in skates and some 1.5. The huge discrepancies are 🤔. And you're totally right about the shoe size being a bad guide bc of diff manufacturers, and the fact that a lot of ppl also wear shoes that are the wrong size/ have a diff preference of how they want their shoes to fit.
  5. Sniper9
    It depends on which is your longest toe. Those who have a second toe that's longest will fit into a diff size than those with a big toe that's longer, bc if you look at the toe cap it's rounded. For example a person who's a size ten bc their big toe is the longest, is different than someone who fits a size ten because their second toe is the longest. The big toe will brush the toe cap in the area where it starts to curve. Second toe longest will brush the toe cap where it's leveled off at its longest distance from the heel. That's prob why there's some discrepancy where some ppl go down anywhere from 1.5-3 sizes in skates. It all has to do with which longest toe brushes which part of the toe cap vs in their shoes, and the tow box area of skates are quite diff than shoes.

    Is this the p92c? So what's the deal with this pattern?

    Could it be due to sweat? I found in the past if I got pretty sweaty the liners of my trues wouldn't wick away the sweat and would cause it to feel slippery especially in combination with dri fit type socks. Maybe try 100% cotton socks which absorb and not really wick sweat so it doesn't cause a layer of sweat between the socks and liner. I know the tf7 comes with a wick liner but it's all I can think of esp since you said it was fine during the first part of the skate. Also, loosening of the laces could be the issue too. Btw did you just spot heat the area causing you issues to fix it?

    Lie should be the same if both are p29... U can also put them next to each other just to be sure though. They are diff kick point sticks with diff blade technology so maybe that has to do with the difference on feeling ?

    I have an old easton aluminum gold with red ...

    Isn't the makos .5 smaller than ccm and true. For example isn't it recommended to get an 8 mako when you're a 7.5 Bauer or ccm. So if that's true, then wouldn't it mean the trues are the same as ccm and Bauer.
  11. Sniper9
    How the hell do they know at the assembly line what size is what then??? Are u able to confirm whether my theory of s08-7 means 7.5 and therefore the true size 7 would be s07-7 or similar.. or address the number codes identical
  12. Sniper9
    So the 7.5 shows 7?
  13. Sniper9
    What do the stickers say on your skates, specifically the 7.5. I'm interested to see if it actually should say 7.5. If so, then @jrchecker8def for a size 8 with an 8.5 tongue If half sizes are around 5mm longer, it COULD be why the 8.5 feels a bit too short and the 9 feels a bit too long if he's in between half sizes.... Since half sizes should be 3-4mm different.
  14. Sniper9
    The regular foam for padding is red. The same thickness and material as the red footbed which is 1-2mm max. The grey toe box inserts are thicker and one adjusts for .5 size (approx 3mm) For my true customs my left skate doesn't have the insert but my right does since it's .5 size smaller. Not a huge deal but I also don't understand why true does this. Each boot should be true to the foot size and unless your feet are so far off it causes u to have two diff holder sizes on each. But even if this were the case you could technically have an oversized holder for the smaller boot so both end up with the same holder size. What's weird though, is my right boot is about half a size shorter in length. I measured it and also you can tell the holder on the right comes up a few mms closer to the end of the toe. Oh well. Whatever. I should just be happy that I have no issues with my skates and they fit perfect.
  15. Sniper9
    Fair enough, but I wouldn't be trying to do things like pull out foam to try to increase the length of the skate. I'd return both and re order another 8.5 to confirm whether the skate he has is mislabeled or that for whatever reason, the size discrepancy between the 8.5 and 9 seems more like a full size diff.
  16. Sniper9
    Are you not at all able to go to a store to get try them on? Personally I'd return both at this both and start from scratch.
  17. Sniper9
    I'm thinking does s09-8 mean size 9 but made to fit like 8.5? For example size 10.5 would say s11-10 How does the size 9 sticker look like.
  18. Sniper9
    There must be something that indicates the boot being a half size otherwise how would they ever know which tongue to put on. Seems weird to me. Also i would imagine 8.5 would just be the same as a 9 with toe inserts. Doesn't make sense that 8/8.5 use an 8 boot. Something seems off here.
  19. Sniper9
    If a 7.5 and an 8 both have the same length, technically wouldn't it mean both should have the same size holders? You shouldn't have to pull that price out for the skate to "fit" if the size is mislabeled. Did you ask the regional rep if the sizes are stamped on full sizes only or half sizes too. This will confirm whether there is in fact an error, and if so just order the proper size.
  20. Sniper9
    For my next pair. If I can save 500 on pretty much the same performance and comfort in skates, why not. You'd think 8.5 would be a 9 with toe plugs in the end cap to make it half a size smaller though, not the other way around. The padding is likely just a thin strip so your toes aren't exposed directly to the carbon she'll and adds some padding. Im pretty sure you got a skate that, like you said, had the wrong tongue put on. If I were you I'd return both skates and order another 8.5. The good news is it's not your mistake and the shop should honor the exchange. Reach out to them via Instagram or Facebook. The person who handles the social media accounts is really good at replying. Just send him the pictures via either those platforms. I'd suggest Instagram since it looks like it's more active.

    You said they fit pretty identical to the as1 but more comfy. Sounds nice since the as1s killed my feet during the break in. And even after breaking em in, or should I say, breaking in my feet lol, they still have me some hot spots here and there. My main issue with the as1 was where the toebox met the quarter package on the outside (pinky toe). It had barely any /no padding and the piece of plastic dug into my left pinky (more than my right bc my left is about 1/2 size bigger). I actually had to put a thin strip of foam in my as1 to make that area more comfortable and seamless. Anyways. I heard that the as3s are now lined with the comfort lining throughout the entire inside of the skate. Can you confirm whether they have padding in that toebox junction, and if so can you post pics?
  22. Sniper9
    I'm a size 7 left and 6.5 right. I might just stick with customs and forget about the guessing game with sizing since most shops don't stock these and mainly available online. Although sport chek does have returns in store for items purchased online. And phl has free return shipping. But who am I kidding. My current custom trues are only a year old and have years of life left.
  23. Sniper9
    Lol that makes total sense now. But I'd be interested to see if half sizes actually are stamped in that area or if it's another code indicating it's a half size.... Maybe someone on her who got a half size can chime in with a picture of theirs. If this is true, glad it worked out. Are your footbeds size stamped with stickers? The customs had sizes on their footbeds. As for your jetspeeds, that's why I asked which version you have bc ad mentioned previously, your version jetspeeds aren't true to size. So your 8.5 fit more like 9 in CCM/Bauer now a days.
  24. Sniper9
    What jetspeed skate did you have btw.
  25. Sniper9
    Ccm is longer? Wasn't the trues longer? Everything I've read is the Trues 1/2 a size bigger not shorter than CCM and Bauer.
