I have the feeling with league games esp late ones. I have much more fun during pickup and drop ins.. mainly because there's no "commitment". But I never have the why bother feeling in the middle of the games.

The cutting of the red insole works well for arch pain if you use the red insole. I found the redbl insole threw the fit off a bit for me so that's why I actually heated up the arch and adjusted it that way. As for the toe box. Maybe use a heat gun in that area and use you fingers or the other side of a screw driver to push it out gently.

The tracings for sure were lasts that vh had and altered to the unique features of the individual. Obviously pros prob had actual moulds made of their feet. If what their reply is true and they are made bespoke, there should be NO issues with fit. Especially too big. I can see some people maybe finding it too small because they're not used to the zero negative space, but the too big makes no sense. That's why I wonder if their scans are susceptible to errors more often than it should, or they use premade lasts and just alter it depending on the foot scans.

Maybe it's an issue with their last size for smu? Since they aren't making skates completely custom anymore, the last they have for the size smu needs isn't accurate to that of what smu needs....? I know there's been a lot of talk about true not doing their skates completely bespoke anymore and more made to measure (did they ever really do them bespoke??)... I always had the impression the vh and true skates were made from a last that was 3d printed from the customer scan, but even watching the old vh videos, it does look like they had lasts already premade and matched whatever was closest to the customers size... And any specific issues accounted for. If this is the case there will onviously be some fit issues, some more major than others that won't be fixed by tinkering and heat molding.... I think ccms two custom options are pretty good where one option they actually high pressure mould the retail skates to a 3d last of the customers foot. I really like my Trues but I will admit this one case does put me off for getting then as my next pair in the future .... Especially since we don't all know how and if their assembly process is changing

That's shitty news. Feel bad for smu. Ideally, there really shouldn't be a need for second remakes at all unless there are big issues with their scanning software and or there is a lot of possible user error from the shops doing the scanning. In any case that's Trues responsibility to fix as the shops should be trained as best as possible using their equipment. In terms of production line errors. Aside form cosmetic and lack of qc for defective materials, the size and overall fit shouldn't be really affected by who is building the boot since they are basing it off data and scans. You shouldn't even have to tell them what size current skate you are wearing as the scan should tell you that. This is why I think maybe their software has flaws.

So tested out my different insoles and the speed plates are by far the best fitting... The ccm orthomoves were kind of a disappointment.

If you go to trues youtube channel everything is on there.

Someone please. Make. It. Stop.

I was afraid that would happen to my skates when I spot heated to alter the arches for my skates but it turned out good for me. Although I did everything with my hands and thumbs rather than a punch. I used the opposite end of a screwdriver once as well. That way the changes were gradual. I love that the skates are so stiff yet still workable when heated. The carbon areas are def a lot harder to work with than the thermoformable plastic though. The plastic heats up fast.

Getting a refund for the holder swap and extra fee for a "Sr" skate would be suffice. A full refund and a free skate... That's kind of pushing it.

I refuse to acknowledge his lengthy and redundant posts. But I guess he takes it upon himself to write a novel every reply, while copying and pasting the same things over and over. Guess he doesn't understand that part of a custom skate is to customize it to your liking. Ie. adding or removing the red insole for increased or decreased volume and fine tuning the fit to someone's personal preference. Someone give that guy his own thread so we don't have to read his rants.

Pretty impressed. Emailed true beginning of the week for some extra red foot beds. Got them today no charge. Also in the mail... My ccm orthomoves from hockeymonkey.ca for only 33 cdn. They are much stiffer at the heel than I thought. Stiffer than the superfeet yellow/carbon which I assumed they would identical to.

Ya, so they are now using what was only on the goalie skates before. But now on both skates.

Seriously what is wrong with you.? All I said was that I know my skates holders are aligned properly. I haven't had any issues and I would have noticed if they were off set since I've been skating on neutral placed holders prior. Initially I thought you were complaining about rivets that weren't seated flush. So when I was looking at the pictures I didn't see any crooked rivets. Now that I know you're talking about the holders being not centred, I still don't see it. The pics you're judging my skates off of aren't taken dead on and you can see more of the medial side of the skate. Mind you regardless, I'm telling you that the midline of the holders line up with the midline of the heel and toe box. I'm not asking you what you think because I'm the one that has the skates in front of me. And like I said before, the skates are asymmetrical like ur foot. It isn't going to have the exact same amount of boot to either side of the holder. There may be a reason why true didnt correct this "rivet issue". Maybe because there isn't one. The length is obviously off, and even the heel pocket. But if you're saying the holders are off centre and that mine are because they both are mounted the same, then you're wrong. Here's pics or other skates when I googled bottom of ice skates. According to you, I guess all these skates have mismounted holders. https://goo.gl/images/5JxCEe https://goo.gl/images/qJqqow https://goo.gl/images/zvY5c4 https://goo.gl/images/AwcFKN https://goo.gl/images/uyuVbU Anyways I'm not gonna bother reading or replying your future messages. I'm happy with my skates and there aren't any holder alignment issues with them. Hope you get your issues resolved... The ones that are there at least.

Yours is the third I've seen so far in the last week or so on Instagram.
-
Very nice. Im digging the all white laces. I guess true has gone to only only holder now and putting what used to be the goalie holder on player skates now too, which makes more sense. Why make two diff holders... And yours do look a lot more polished than some I've seen.
-
Pics !! 😁. But ya the tan clarino is something id ask for on a second pair and it's super annoying that wasn't done... I'd shoot them an email to ask why that didn't happen...
-
All arches collapse and feet pronate to a certain degree when bearing weight. Some more than others. Both of mine probably do but my right def does more than the left. Never noticed any issues with the left but thanks for the insight.

No idea what you're talking about but my skates are not misaligned and from the pics yours don't look like it either. The Gap in the back of the holder where it meets the heel on your skate are normal. It's because the shape of the heel isn't completely flat. Your rivets looks flush to me. All copper rivets will confirm to the shape where it's being pressed onto. It's copper. The only way to tell if ur holders are off is to compare the mid line of the holder to the respective toe box and or heel. U cant just look at the bottom of the skate and say it is or isn't because of how much room there is to each side. The skates are not symmetrical. As for the size it's obviously too long. But it looks like ur super feet are trimmed pretty short and from the pics it looks like your heel is a bit too far back on the heel cup but that could just be the angle. If it's too long then it's too long and the fact they used toe plugs shows they are too long. The width seems similar to what mine were and the heel cup is bigger on my trues than my Bauer's. Like I said in my earlier post, when I got my skates unbaked they felt huge wide wise. When I baked them they felt nice and snug. The tongue is also pretty thick and takes up a bit of volume too. Either way they should be remaking the boot solely on the length issue... But honestly man I don't see any issues either the hold er and rivets, and theres nothing wrong with mine either.

With the inconsistencies I've been reading, if I had a perfect fit from a scan if stick with that.... I wouldn't risk having a scan that was slightly different for whatever reason.
-
Still contact them but wearing once... Sounds like u reefed on the laces during the heat moulding.
-
They have a six mth warranty. Use it.

As mentioned in my lengthy post above me pictures, my right foot pronates when bearing weight during a lunge. It's weird. My knee totally goes inward instead of staying lined up with my ankle and my arch completely collapses. Never affected my skating though oddly... So no I never noticed. I just always noticed doing lunges felt odd on my right side but I always just attributed it to my left being my stable side because I'm right handed in throwing, batting etc and use my left to plant down. I'm going to start doing balance exercises to see if it's an ankle strength thing...
