How much are custom skates?

Recommended Posts

i depends what company, but most is $50-$100 and i dont think that you have to pay extra for more features. its like a flat rate. but i may be wrong.

I was thinking about a custom pair of one95s. Part of me just wants to get a standard pair so I can have it sooner. Just have to wait for a pair to try on. I doubt there is any list available at the moment for what kind of options besides sizing, but was there anything for the ONE90? I think as much as I love my 8090s, I need to get a new skate.

Sure there is, it's sitting on my coffee table as we speak (had to measure a MSHer last week in my apt while he was in town for the MSH skate.)

ONE95s will most likely be available for custom in May.

NBH is only like $60 plus retail

That is the custom upcharge. I choose not to mark that up, however a lot of shops do, so take that price quote with a grain of salt.

I've been thinking about getting a pair of customs, particularly because I have an odd size foot (approx a 9-3/4). There are a couple places online that seem to be willing to do custom skates without actually having me come in in person. My question is, am I better off going to a LHS and having them fit me for customs or will these online places do a decent job?

Thanks.

To me the answer is obvious, go to the LHS. How else can you get a (truly) custom fit pair of skates??

The problem is that everyone who gets custom skates thinks that it will be a seamless fit. You still have to put work into the skates.

So, as a e-tailer, would I take my chances on having the person mis-fitting themselves then blame me when their skates don't come out right? No...I'm measuring them myself - peace of mind.

You mean my custom skates won't be broken in already and they won't be the exact shape of my foot on the inside? :P

When are the one95s coming out? Not the customs. Just the regular. People told me in Mar/Apr and others told me in Jan/Feb.

Would it be possible to get a custom pair One75's? Or does it have to be a top of the line skate, cuz i wont be able to afford that.

I talked to my local hockey store and they said that NBH only does custom top-of-the-line skates. Also, if you buy a custom junior skate, you get charged the senior price.

by any chance would bauer sell me a custom boot with no holder or holes drilled to be used for roller hockey

There's at least one guy on the board who, for medical reasons related to his foot mechanics, had to have Cobra holders installed on his custom Bauer skates. I *believe* Bauer left them undrilled for the LHS to install the holders.

Basically, unless you've got a really good reason or a professional equipment managed acting on your behalf, it's a hard sell.
