Hey Darkstar,

I am curious about how much wider the extra large toe caps are compared to stock?

Those look great. How much do custom skates go for nowadays?

Depending on how much your LHS wants to mark up. That said I've read on this board about $65 upcharge over retail, and at H.A. Zwickers in Bedford, MA (last time I asked) upcharged $75 over retail.

Considering people pay upwards of $20-$80 for after market insoles, profiling tongues, laces, etc. I think that's pretty reasonable if you have the means.

I am seriously considering it myself even though I really, really don't need them. :D

What is the price to do a foot mold? Id like ones made right to a mold of my foot, would they be able to do that? It seems like it would warrant more then a $75 charge?

what material is that soft fabric like liner? all of the customs we have received at my shop have had that fabric like liner, not at anyones request.

also, bauer has put dual HD guards in the tongues in every pair we have received, again not at anyones request. anything like this happen to you darkstar?
