Tight or short? Length wise maybe a bit as your heel might suck.into the pocket more. If you're using stock insoles I'd highly recommend something with an arch support. If your arches are supported it'll draw ur toes back a bit, maybe just enough for you not to have issued. If it's width issues that can be altered by baking as well. But you should've tried the ee. I wear D's in Bauer and the as1 but when I tried the ft1 even the ee were too narrow for me.

Sorry orthomoves are what I don't like. As for the first gen SP, the ones I have had not cracked and I've had them for a few mths and have rebaked them at least five times due to swapping out skates etc. I heard they improved the durability after the initial roll out revealed issues with premature cracking.
-
The aftermarket CCM footbeds aren't good imo. I'm another advocate of the speedplates. Wore them in my trues as well. I prefer the first gen ones over the SP 2.0 as the latter isn't as stiff and gives a bit. I bought a couple on clearance from sportchek just bc I like them so much.

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.
-
I personally don't like the superfeet bc it messes with how the heel pocket feels, especially for my right foot for some reason. As for the the poster who talked about hot spotd where the toe cap meets the quarter, I think it has to do with the rivet system that attaches the toe cap to the quarter. My left is about almost 1/2 size bigger than my right and it def had a hot spot there. What I ended up doing was lining it with about 1mm Eva foam with solved the issue but I hope with the ft2 CCM has it better lined. The stock lining around that area is pretty sub par.

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.
-
CCM holders seem to be longer in terms of their mount's size Their steel/runner length may be the same but their 263 holders seem cover off more length vs tuuks in 263. Can someone confirm this? My 263 SB holders on my size 7 skates basically have no room at the heel or toe, so putting 272 holders would make the holders stick out at the front. Whereas on my size7 Bauer's there was still some room. @Nicholas G can u dm the shop in Vancouver. I want to avoid this place since I live in Vancouver.
-
Personally don't think it would be that hard. Email them. They do all kinds of repairs etc after the fact. The only thing that would be an issue at this point is the cost.
-
I don't know why CCM just doesn't use their brass eyelets on all the holes. The edge of one eyelet has a small piece that crumbled off. And I'm pretty sure it came from factory that way since it had no other damage or dents. Even after a heat mold the stamped eyelets by the forefoot have some space between it and the facing bc of how the facing curved down and wrapped my foot from the bake. I don't think it'll cause me issues bc I don't tie my skates very tight due to the wrap and stiffness of the as1. But just kind of silly that they wouldn't include top end materials for a top end skate.
-
Also why does it even matter. Every athlete or human being will endorse a company given the right $$. Especially if it's something they already use. Heck I'd endorse CCM.bauer or warrior etc even for three free gear alone. Back on topic...
-
Take the tongue out and unlace completely. It either has grey inserts which can be pulled off as it's only taped on. Or if it's only red Eva foam you may need to chisel it off. The red Eva foam is only about 1-2 mm though so not sure if it'll make a tonne of difference for your son.
-
I was surprised I never had issues putting them on and taking them off other than making sure the top two laces were undone and laces had slack. Never had to turn my foot sideways. My feet were always locked in too. I guess I'm lucky with how my feet are proportioned.
-
Was it from an accident or was this pretty much from birth?
-
Crazy. Is this for leg length discrepancies
-
It's just weird how the finish can vary so drastically from one boot to another. My trues we're more or less flawless. Carbon was even with all the weaves uniform. The gloss on the finish was uniform and didn't have matte spots like the ones do now. And very minimal residual glue. Even the stitching was straight which from what I saw was a rarity. Only thing for mine were the one skate had the vent holes on the bottom of the boot drilled in by someone cross eyed lol. Which I didn't care about bc no one sees that.
-
Those who argue the sloppiness of the finish of trues, do you really think it's acceptable? I can understand whether you personally care or not. But do you really think any company charging 1000 bucks for anything should overlook the details that true has... And this is on top of the complaints in fit etc as well. I've seen trues products in their sticks and protective gear and the finish is overall very good. So why is this level of QC overlooked with the skates?
-
For me, personally, as long as it doesn't affect the integrity of the skate I don't really care but as a company producing a brand new item (not refurb etc), I just don't understand why they don't think esthetics is important, bc the reality is that it is to the majority of people out there.
-
Ya but you'd think there's a level of pride in the way something looks. It's like saying it doesn't matter if you buy a brand new car with orange peel scuffs etc bc it won't affect it's performance.
-
How does this pass qc ?? I've noticed that since they changed their carbon fiber weave, there have been way more substandard cf finish... Seems like the pitting in the cf coating is on every single skate that comes out of the factory.
-
Do they send the xs holder on customs as standard or do you have to request?
-
That's a good question. Could be preference as some ppl like more wrap and some less... Also, I always wondered why we had to choose which line if it was total custom. If it's completely custom, couldn't you choose any model regardless of the retail "fit" as itll be made for your foot but just a diff paint job and materials.
-
With too end skates that are completely thermoformable, you don't need to crank on the laces either. With the as1s I find I tie them just as tight ( which is just enough to remove the slack / a touch tighter). As for waxed laces I always used them with my trues but that's mainly bc I like the thinner look of waxed laces. So just for esthetics.
