I am curious about this as well. Is the carbon heel, arch, etc, all custom made for the foot, or is i that piece the same across all of their custom skates? While I don't have Haglunds, I do have an accessory navicular that rubs in some skates.

I found it to be V shaped I guess? Ended up returning them. Toe box was a smidge looser than the Vapor 2X Pro, but a smidge tighter than the Supreme 2S Pro. Instep taller than Vapor, but shallower than Supreme. Heel wider than both Supreme and Vapor. I liked the skate, comfy as hell, but its a tough sell. With how flexible the boot is, they seem to pitch is as a do it all fit.

I don't know man... toe box and midfoot, yes, but not sure about the heel. The Ribcore 80ks I just got out of had a bigger heel and much more slip than the Supreme 2S Pros.

Arch in the skate or the steel?

Thoughts on replacement steel? I feel like the pitch is a bit much for my liking, especially since adding superfeet yellows. Step Steel the only good replacement? If so, what size is my runner? Skate size is 8.5D, kind of had trouble following their size chart.

Did it work? The steep arches of these skates cramp my feet. Unfortunately that area of the skate is the hard carbon. Curious if this area can actually be shaped. Thanks!

Let's say you add Supefeet yellows to other wise stock Makos, is that slight heel lift enough to consider it more like a +4?

Great info, thanks!

They can be purchased like this so all I would have to do is a normal sharpen and I'm good?

I like this idea. Since putting in Superfeet, I am pitched extremely far forward.

When I was having fitment issues my case got passed around a bit and landed with the Easton skate R&D guys. They had me go 15 mins in a standard skate oven and made a passing comment they could handle even more. They were extremely soft after 15 so I couldent imagine doing it longer.

I never count on length while baking. Every skate I've run that gamble on, I curled my toes for the next year. The solid plastic toe cup and carbon fiber heel (whatever they call it) at the rear of the skates makes the front and back non-moldable. Now - the liner/padding within the heel does form some, but if you are toe curling, thats not going to stop. Your toenail grazing the front ever so slightly, maybe, but the toe actually banging up against the front... I'd go a half size up. -Jim

To me the rubbery mesh seems more for looks. The structure of the skate comes from the material under it. I wouldent be too worried about it.

Yeah. I have basically zero negative space. Now is the time with Easton skates future up in the air. Rumor had it Total Hockey stores gave mako 2s on sale for 400.

Are VH as moldable as Makos or is their draw the fact that they are essentially the shape of your foot before you even put them on? Many of you switch from Makos?
