Have u tried using the rocket dryer or literally a blow dryer to dry out the skates asap rather than air dry? I agree the Trues really soak up the sweat, esp with how the inside sole of the boot has a layer of saran wrap and what appears to be masking tape. It is odd that your eyelets are rusting over that quick as they are easily dried by wiping them down.
-
I think more ppl have had issues with their injected eyelets then standard ones. At the end of the day wear issues occur in some and not in others in diff areas of skates throughout all brands. True may just not be for you in terms of what you want out of a skate durability wise. Also, who knows whether the current line if Bauer's last as long as ur mx3s
-
No one can really answer this because your arch pain can be caused by various things. I saw the new tongue in person today for the first time and it's actually quite beefy. I expected it to bee really thin but it's not.
-
This. It has nothing to do with time frame but total hours. I am on the ice 1-2 times a week and about 1.5-2 hrs a session and my skates show no real issues after a year. Just surface scratches and scuffs and just some minor surface rust on some of the rivet prongs. Not even all just the ones more prone to exposure to sweat and water. You should rebake them after the foam compacted. I've rebaked my skates three times in the first four mths. The first bake was meh. The last bake really dialed them in bc it took into account the foam being a bit more compact etc. You shouldn't have to crank on the laces with these skates at all.
-
This is also an excellent time for ppl to get trues. Free upgrades for personalization including blacksteel. And 7 day rush turnaround. Even makes me want to get a second pair 😑
-
How many times a week are you on the ice? Did ur previous skates last much longer with the same amount of use? By eyelets coming loose do you mean them rusting over and need replacing or literally breaking off?
-
If u get arch pain even in custom skates or speed plates then you need to look further into why you are having arch pain as it's probably biomechanical. You may have to start doing some exercises and fascial release of the arch muscles, and even work hour way up to the calves and shins etc.
-
. True does make the boot according to your arch height as well. You can always try speedplates too as they conform to your specific arch. I'd try speed plates if ur current skates are fine other than the arches I think you quoted the wrong post.
-
I like elite bc I actually like how thin they are (the waxed ones) but they def don't last as long as Howie's. I like Howie's bc of how durable they are but they have less wax than I'd prefer. Still very good laces though.

If you've had a few skates in them with no issue I don't think you will have issues. I haven't read anywhere about ppl saying they have issues bc of no comfort edge. Ppl complain about not having them but just bc other brands have them not bc it causes issues.
-
Only way to see is to try em. I've never needed any type of comfort edge on my skates though so my experience wouldn't be helpful to you on that regard.
-
Imo they look like garbage.
-
Do u NEED the feature though? If you look at your skates about 1/4 inch of the top of the skate isn't even hard it's just the liner and faux leather and its soft. There's even a crease which will show you where the Thermo plastic ends Pretty much replicates what a comfort edge is but not a totally separate piece sewn on. The comfort edge on the as1 and Bauer's aren't even much of a comfort edge and imo are even harder than the top of the Trues.
-
Glad it worked out for him.
-
If mine ever came loose or off I'd replace the rivets with black helmet screws. I'd imagine they would look similar tot the goalie skates without the tendon guard with slight differences such as the comfort pad and lundqvist loop
-
Am I the only one that hasn't had any tendon guard rivet issues with true skates? I always make sure I don't use them to take the skates off nor do I use it to hold on to when getting the ice off the steel etc. The ppl that are having issues do you also put ur hockey socks over the tendon guards? I don't see how the tendon. Guard would come loose unless you do one or all of the three above.
-
Why not just bring it to the shop it's a five min fix for both. Or u can replace it with a t nut and screw.
-
I generally stick handle with my lower hand around the same area when I shoot wrist and snap, bottom hand about quarter down from the top. From the pics I've seen this is about on par with most ppl Never had to tinker with flex profiles for that. Slap shots however, I found low kick sticks I had to have my bottom hand lower. My bottom hand is actually pretty low for slap shots regardless, it's lower than the mid point of the stick.
-
Wow..... Could've just epoxied the existing holes that he didn't want to potentially expand and redrill those to line up with the holders. Were those oversized holders or just replacing the same size with edge ones?
-
I stocked up on the ek365s bc I love the weight and how I shoot with it. And the fact I got them for about 100 cdn each. I'd never spend more than 160ish cdn on a stick.
-
It's whatever you're comfortable with. When ops first came out they were equivalent to prob the mid range ones now at best. Back then we thought they were (and they were at the time) the best. Now some won't even think about using a similar spec stick. I see it kind of like being spoiled. Better not to try out a stick that's the next best thing and 300+ bucks if what you have now works. Because it'll just mess you up psychologically lol. But it's also a marketing thing where new models come out every year or so.

There's a video on customizing and dialing in certain areas (including the heel) with a heat gun. https://youtu.be/SXzXWMjGpI0
-
What shop? Also, is there supposed to be pics?
-
The only diff between the total custom and 3d custom is the additional customization you can get done including diff skate size. The actual moulding process around the custom foot last is exactly the same. Just like Bauer, CCM isn't "built" around your foot last. It's essentially baking on steroids. The boot formed around a last made from your scan.
