I've emailed both true and will be stopping by the lhs tomorrow. Do you by any chance know what the shoe repair place did to fix it? Obviously I rather have it fixed locally or even by me with epoxy or glue than to send it out just to have true do the same ....
-
It's a shame the whole skate has to be remade over something so small...
-
Picked up my skates. The good and the REALLY BAD. Overall skates looked good. And fit good. Length was perfect. No issues with fit or cosmetic stuff off the bat. I get home adust the tongues and THIS.... I think I'm going to cry 😭. I hope they can just swap the toe cap and not have to remake the whole skate...
-
The quick change isn't even a deciding factor for me since my all time favourite holder is the tuuk ls2. I ended up sourcing SB 4.0s as I like bolt systems best for holders. I haven't had issues with the sb 4.0s on my as1 yet. I make sure I check that they are tight every few skates. I'm a 263. I could've gotten them for quite a bit cheaper on sideline but I would have had to wait at least a week for them to get here and my skates have already arrived at my fitter. Need to drop the holders off tomorrow.
-
Order has been shipped to my lhs. Have a decision to make about which holders I want since the SB 4.0 aren't in stock and are on back order for them until July. 1) find it elsewhere and they will mount for free. This would mean possibly getting online and waiting for shipping but would save me money as I can re use my blacksteel. 2) get the xs holder. Means more money spent on steel and my blacksteel would be collecting dust if I can't sell. 3) mount my ls2 holders I have that are brand new. Same as 2) but also the thought of drilling access bolts on a brand new boot makes me cringe. 4) keep the true holder. Would have to wait 2-3 mths for blacksteel for this holder/ if anything happened to this holder it wouldn't be a quick turnaround to replace since it's not carried in stock by many shops locally. I should double check to see my fitter does have it though.
-
Seeing that's all the chipped areas are where the rivets were, are you sure the damage wasn't from when you remover them from your skates? I mean, those areas would be hard to even notice with the rivets in and mounted on your skates.... The rest of the holders seem to be in good condition.
-
Confused about the first part of your post. So you do or don't want Bauer doing a heat mould off your foot last?
-
Probably won't know unless you re did the scan and it comes back fine. 6 mths is a long time to tinker around. Since the warranty period has passed, I question whether they will even honour the remake.... There's only so much you can tinker with the heel itself since it's pretty solid. You can adjust the width of the heel but not the height so if that's part of the issue you may be out of luck. Also, how is the arch? My right skate wasn't as dialed in as the left and the one thing that worked really well in locking in the heel and improving overall slippage inside the boot was altering the arch that was initially too flat. Once I increased the arch to suit my feet it felt much better. I also used a heat gun around the ankle area and just below where it's carbon fiber and squeezed the boot with my hands to make it more narrow. Once it cooled I put it on and it felt too narrow but id then heat gun the area again just enough so that the area softened just enough to relieve the tightness and that ended up making the right skate locked in. Should you have to do this for a custom slate? No. But I'm just giving you some ideas and showing you how customizable the skates are. Areas like the arch and below the ankle require more heating and patience as it's really hard carbon fiber.

How old are your skates? Get them to remake. The right
-
I've owned true and CCM within the last couple of years. I haven't owned Bauer's since my one100s about 8 years ago so I can't comment on them. The trues are by far more durable than the ccm As1s. The as1s are nice skates but they aren't worth the price point Imo. I play about once a week and in three mths the ccms show way more wear than my trues did in 1.5 years. But do your own research and at the end of the day the best fit is really all that matters.
-
What was used to remove the logos on the holder?
-
No rush 😊....
-
Can someone please post s picture of trues with xs holders? Since getting scanned I've been debating whether to get the xs holders instead of the sb 4.0s...
-
Just the tongue embroidery. I should've said optional embroidery, my bad. Anyone know if the true brannock is numbered for shoe size or skate. I had a weird time reading it because the slider had a window and wasn't sure what I was supposed to look at for the sizing. And what I saw was 8.5-9 which technically is my shoe size but thought it was weird a skate brannock would have shoe sizing and not skates.... I also looked at the euro sizing which seemed right as it hovered around 41ish/42. I couldn't really see that well bc I was busy trying not to move while standing on it.
-
Got scanned earlier today 3-4 week turn around. Nothing fancy. Only embroidery upgrade. Went for black regular tongues this time instead of white. Also got them to send the holder unmounted and getting SB 4.0s mounted by my LHS as I have a brand new set of blacksteel for those holders I don't want to waste. Also didn't want to buy another set of blacksteel for the true holders. This time around there were way more photos during the fit process, including pics of the feet on the true brannock and a number of various pics. My first order only had scan and maybe 4 or so pics of my feet. Well see how it goes and if me being aware of my lunge position on my right side makes a diff.
-
Ya that's the plan
-
I am going to be re scanned. As some of you might know I had issues with my right skate as it had no arch due to me being in a poor lunge position which flattened out my arch completely. Took a lot of heat gunning and tweaking to get it fitting properly but was perfect after. The left boot fit 100% perfect off the bat from just one bake and no tweaking at all. So this time around I'm gonna be cognizant of how I'm positioned. I might let the lhs to only redo the right possibly, but I'm afraid it may cause some confusion so I may just get everything re done.
-
Will be re ordering trues again pretty soon. Too obsessed with the comfort and how locked in these skates are vs anything out there that I've tried.
-
If that's the case then props to him for being thorough. I have seen a few true skates with either enlarged holes or holes that are a bit off causing rivets to not sit flush and or straight... So if he's willing to go the extra step, person, I'd let him.
-
This. And he's also going to be redrilling the holes he just filled up..... 🤔
-
Upgraded....
-
Then stop posting in this thread. Can't wait to see similar posts of you complaining on Bauer/CCM threads in the future .....
-
I'm aware that there have been prior version solely under the VH name but was curious in terms of a new version since true branded over.
-
Anyone know if and when true is gonna have a v2 of the skate?
-
From what I know the read towers are supposed to be as far back as possible to the heel.ofbthr skate... Wouldn't that position be the same regardless of how long the holders are? Wouldn't the rear tower always be pretty much int he same place and the length between the rear and front towers change, thus only changing where the front tower is mounted? Unless the SB holders and tuuk holders have a diff balance point, and even if the holes line up, the SB holders would be positioned all the way back vs tuuks not being all the way back. I always noticed the tuuk holders (even on Bauer boots) weren't as flush with the edge of the heel vs CCM/sb setups. Both skates with holders meant for it's size. You can see the tuuks don't go all the way to the edge of the heel.
