Nike Bauer One90 Sizing Info

[LeafsLegacy 0]

Hey. I'm thinking of buying One90 skates. I heard they're a 1/2 size smaller than your regular skate size. True or false?

EDIT: And what's your input on baking your skates (heat moulding)? Some told me it was good, some told me it ruins the shape of the skate. Some said don't get it if it's not necessary. Your input?

Support your LHS.

[TBLfan 25]

Support your LHS.

Agreed. Go and try them on. They are a shallow skate that only fit certain people. Plus the cost of a first sharpening and baking are virtually the same amount you'd save by buying online... Not to mention if you have an issue with the skate.

How about baking? Some people told me it ruins the shape of the skate. They said stay away from it unless you have too bake them.

If I recall correctly, heat-molding is key to the fit of the One90. Someone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong....I would assume that if your foot doesn't fit the skate properly, and you do heat-mold - yeah, you'd probably ruin the shape of the skate. I've said it in just about every "One90 sizing" thread that's come up... try them on, I myself have made the mistake of buying blindly (NOT to save loot, it's a long story), and I learned a very valuable lesson, and had over $1,200 invested in 2 pair of One90's that didn't fit.

If the skate fits comfortably without baking then why bother?

Just reading over the warnings that the manufacturer sends with the skates about baking them leads me to believe it can seriously shorten the life of the skate if not done properly. I'm no expert, so you pro-shop guys feel free to correct me if that's incorrect.

[LkptTiger 1]

Obviously, if the skate is not properly cared for (during baking or otherwise, there will be adverse effects on the durability of the product. When done properly, baking does no damage to the boot and will only make the fit that much better. Baking is something that should probably be done by the boys (with the resources, experience and know-how) in your shop and not by Joe Schmo on a cookie sheet in his convention oven. Many have been successful in baking their skates within the friendly confines of their own homes, but I've heard horror stories which would probably deter most people from thinking of it.

From personal experience I went a half size down from XXs.

I believe the one90s are supposed to be heat molded to get that zero negative space fit.

Correct

Correct

Do you know if they're supposed to be a half sized smaller than your regular skate size?

Try them on at your LHS, and see for yourself.

[Archangel#16 1]

perfect example for needing to try them on:

I go in to my LHS and try on the vapors and the supremes. I tried on the 40's and found out that I need a 7.5 in the skates while in the supremes, i need a 8. Thats why I always go to my LHS and try skates on before buying them. And to make up somewhat for me trying on their skates and not buying, I try to get my skates sharpened and a couple rolls of tape

Keep that attitude up and your LHS will become a sharpening and tape shop.

What the hell is a "regular skate size?" My foot has stopped growing 6 years ago and I've been in 7C one90s, 7.5D XX's. 6.5R G3's, 6.5 XXX's, 6.5 9k's. Either go to your LHS and figure out which number corresponds to your toe grazing the front of the boot or stop wasting our time, because none of us want to help you rip off the poor kids and shop owners trying to provide a service.

It's fine though, so when people like Archangel and Leafs Legacy go save $20 from hockeydouche, and then come back to the shop, owners should have no problem destroying edges or "accidentally" setting the bake timer on 10 minutes.

As much I've been tempted to do such things to other people's shit, I know I never will and I doubt that it does happen often (if at all) in other shops.

Guys like that definitely aren't going to enjoy some of the perks that loyal customers receive, though.

[Archangel#16 1]

I have no problem walking in to the store and trying things on. I doubt the workers do either because they're in the back usually messing around on the computer or something. Since im 16 also, I think that if I can save upward of 80-100 bucks on a pair of skates which the LHS didnt help me at all with, I say go online.

[mack 44]

They leave the skates out for people to try on? Awesome store.

Sweet. I never knew rent and electricity was free.

[jeffw 1]

Y'know, not everybody has a LHS. Nearest shop to me is over an hour away and has NOTHING in my size in the way of skates.

I'm all for supporting the local shop, but it's not an option for everyone.

There. I feel better now.

True for me at least. I was a 9.5D Bauer 7000 and I am now in a 9.0D One-90. If you can go to your LHS and try a pair on. I myself went blindly as well but, for me it was work out the 1st time. Right now a lot of shops are blowing them out at a great price. I got mine for $404 so if I had to ship them back for a different size so what. It would have cost $20 in shipping. I still would have been way ahead of the game considering at the time I bought them they were $550 around my area. Now I even heard Monkey or Giant are selling them for $330. At that price if you had to send them back your still saving a heck of a lot of money. As far as baking them I do recomend going to your local LHS after you get a pair that fits properley and having them do it. There are remendies for doing it on your own i don't recomend it. I paid my LHS $32 for the baking and the 1st cross grind sharpening. Still wound up saving a $114. Good Luck

Tools like Archangel use their local shops (which have what they need - plus readily available customer service - albeit for a slightly higher price) as fitting rooms for internet shops (which will be a bit cheaper, but you won't get any personal attention or comprehensive information from them).

While this does piss us (shop workers) off a bit, we know it's all going to even-out in the end - since people like Archangel will have to wait two, maybe three days for something like a swap in the event that they snap their holder/steel (if we have what they need in stock...if we have to order it in - or if it's an emergency - he might have to wait longer). Every service or product he ever needs (rivets, sharpenings, orders, etc.) are going to cost him every red cent they're listed for (loyal customers often get significant breaks for such expenses), and there is no way that we're going to go out of our way or break our backs to help him out if we don't have to.

In the long run, it really does pay to support the boys in your local shops. Guys like Archangel are the ones that are missing out.

Your situation, Jeff, is different; if you don't have a decent shop in your area, you're obviously going to have to use other means through which you can get the gear you need. Personally, something like this absolutely boggles my mind - I can't even imagine buying a piece of equipment without personally giving it a once (or twice...or thrice) over myself.

Agreed, how anyone can buy skates blind is a mystery to me.

I was reading a thread on Hockey's Future about baking skates at home and saw this gem...

My last pair I molded, I threw in the oven at 275* for 14 minutes. Be very careful of the blades when you take them out. Put them on and lace them up as tight as you can and wear them till they cool.
