My One100s have just started to break in very nicely, wasn't skating a ton past two months since I got them but I put them on Sunday, then again again Monday and found my self really tightening them on the bench. They just hug my feet now.

How was the break in for the Total Ones? Did they hit that point where they seem to just melt around your foot or after the bake is that basically what they stayed at?

Hey guys so I picked up a pair of TotalOne's coming from One95's and after about 6 skates, I've noticed my heels are killing me in them. I don't have heel spurs or anything so I'm confused because I never had this problem in my one95's. It feels like there is just no padding down there and hitting like the outside of the boot. keep in mind i've only skated 6 times so the liner hasn't ripped or anything. What can I do to fix this? Could i get them punched out alittle bit or...? it is pretty painful so any insight asap would be great!

Thanks

524euros in Latvia (cheaper than the one95!). Knowing that in this shop you get 15%off as soon as you belong to a team in this arena...

I really though it was a mistake in the tag.

I've always said that those skates are nothing else than vaseline or something that goes straight in the customer's rectum.

It appears that european LHS think like me, no way to make players pay an extra 200euros to get the same shit slightly tweaked than for the past 3 years or the thing will just not sell :facepalm:

They went too far with that new fashion accessory policy - you buy a price before a skate here.

Seems that for once, they f.... you more in US than in Europe :ph34r:

Cheers

PS: Seriously still can't believe it. With usual stuff like ipod, etc ... 99USD = 99euros (or more)

Just picked up the TotalOnes today. Decided not to get it baked just yet. Do you think it is best to get them baked first? or should i see how it is on the ice, and if any discomfort arises, then bake?

Which tongue insert should i start off with first?

What waxed laces is best fitted for these skates?

Do Superfeet insoles work good with them?

Sorry for all the Q's, but I want to get it right for these skates and make sure nothing is overlooked lol.

From my experiences with the TO's.

If you have the availability, you may as well bake them right away. If it will be a hassle to, try them without baking. I started with a stiff insert, tried xstiff, tried medium, but stiff was best for me (160 lb D-man. Laces don't really matter, it'll depend on the size of your skate. I have some 108 inch and they work fine. Superfeets will be the same as baking or not, you should try each and then go from there. Personally, I own superfeets but don't have them in my TO's, as they felt kinda different in my x50s so I never really switched em over. Hope that helps ; )

I did have the availability to bake them, but the person baked a pair of TO before i was going to do mine, and he left the tongue insert and insole in while baking. this made me not want to do it that day. unfortunately the shop is closed today, or else i wouldve gone back.

my concern is, if im on the ice tomorrow, how soon after can I bake my skates? can i do it after an hour's time? Please advise, since the following day i have a tryout. thx

I've had my TotalOnes for about a month now, skated about 2 times a week and they feel great!

Unfortunately we only get the LS2.1 Power version in Australia too.

Wish I got to try the Fusion steel!!

Indeed, even on the CCM/RBK, some units came without the perforations on the blade.

Did someone had the chance to weight both one100 and totalone in the same size ?

I doubt the 150g difference I read on icewarehouse.com and Hockeyus weight the one100 size9 at 759g

And indeed I found the one100 lighter than the one95(that was heavier than the one90).

The trouble here, is that the one100 cost almost as much than the totalone. But they advise people to go for the one100 it's basically a totalone without the crap (ridiculous tongue, expansive blade replacement, holes on the outsole, ..)

The guy was saying it's basically a prostock version of the totalone :dry:

After my bad experience with one95s I was sure I was going to go to grafs and be done. But, for the hell of it I tried on TOs and it became clear that I had been in the wrong size one95. My only remaining issue is that prior to baking, the heel lock on the TO is just not quite what I would like. I know it will improve with baking, but I'm concerned it won't lock down enough. Can you guys comment directly on how much the heel locked in during the baking process? I want to make sure I'm doing the right thing here. Thanks

this was discussed quite a few times ever since One95 & Alive became available. Basically after proper baking the boot becomes fairly soft (using JR's words 'pliable) so you can mold it by applying pressure with your fingers. So after baking simply kick back pretty good, keep the pressure there when lacing, and then simply shape the heel to conform to your feet.

Thanks - I took the plunge and the heel definitely locked down tightly to the point where I'm very happy with the heel lock. These skates sure seem pretty great so far.

so you got them baked today? i just did mine tonight as well. The shop employee told me to walk around with them on, and i said no thanks lol....also he said superfeet are meant to be baked as well, lol...not to mention he said he left a pair of mission skates in the oven for 15min and he said you can feel the toe cap just go down. i was in awe.

Sounds like that LHS in GTA needs some help! 15 minutes for any skates = death. And yes, NOT walking around in your baked T1s was a good idea.

Let me guess; they also wanted to bake everyones reflex tongue inserts.

Can TO's be baked more than twice in their lifetime? My LHS advised me that I can only bake them once..then save the next bake incase I sell them.

You should be able to bake more than twice so long as it's done right each time, but unless you've got specific areas bugging your foot, you shouldn't ever really have to.

what temp did you guys bake your TOs? because when I baked mine at around 90ish (Celsius) they still felt fairly stiff and once laced them up I didn't really think that pushing in the heel did much..

Not too sure. The instructional label was in the TO box, so I'm not too sure if you saw it. I can't remember off the top of my head.

All I hope if that the store clerk did it right lol.

Directed to those who've made the switch from One95 to TotalOne (JR, if you could weigh in here I'd appreciate it):

I've tried covering the entire thread looking for someone to comment on the overall structural stiffness between the two models. Did anyone else notice the TO's being significantly easier to flex right out of the box?

I'm in the UK right now for work, but while I was at home during the summer and picking up a few shifts at the LHS, I managed to do side-by-side fit comparisons between my current One95s, the TotalOnes and the One100 models. Stiffness on the One95 and One100 were nearly identical as expected (taking into account that my One95s have been used and abused), but I found the TO's way softer and easier to flex. I realize that the differences between the tongues and eyelet orientation may play into account, but the ALIVE composite and boot just felt a lot softer when flexing. Flex was most noticeable below the top three eyelets. The boot of the TO torqued more easily, while my well-used One95s still felt noticeably stiffer. I should also note that the TO's were tried on with the X-Stiff Reflex insert installed. I made the comparisons while standing on a rubber mat, so I realize I had enough traction and leverage to put the skates under more stress than I would have on ice.

I've got an order form for TO's waiting to be faxed in come October, but I'm starting to think that maybe the One100 might be a safer bet because I really want the stiffness of new One95s back. The price difference isn't an issue for me. However, from everyone I've spoken to regarding the TO and judging for myself, my skating (and my feet) can really benefit from the new tech that's been introduced.

Will the TO stiffen up post-bake? Will this significant difference in flex be less noticeable on-ice? I'm skating 3 days a week out here at a relatively high level and will be needing new sleds soon.

Any well-informed input would be appreciated.
