Bauer Supreme TotalONE

[furlanitalia 1]

I find that the stitching where the toecap meets the boot to be quite bothersome, haven't skated in these skates but tried them on in the store.

....I haven't ever felt any stitching in my one95's or TotalOne's when skating in them. In fact, I didn't realize there was a part of the toecap were you could feel the stitches from the inside, and I've often put my hands in there to make sure my insoles were all the way in.

Maybe I just have thick toes. But I definitely felt a ridge where the toe cap in stitched into the boot. Although if you have a skinny forefront I imagine this isn't an issue.

I have very pronounced bumps on my big toes where I was originally concerned with this fittiment issue as well. I ended up going with an oversized toe cap to alleviate it. I've been in boots before that I've felt that same issue, I will check when I get my TO's tomorrow and see if I can feel it then.

I had this issue with my left one95 skate since I skate bare footed. The solution for me was to place a strip of clear tape over the offending stiching; it's no longer an issue.

I felt around in my boot last night to try and find this and I'm assuming you mean the part of the toecap where the tongue is attached? Your feet must be really crammed in there for them to touch that, or maybe mine are abnormally thin but they don't come close to feeling it.

[Bravada 442 0]

Taking mine down to get baked here shortly, what temperature and for how long? Thanks guys!

[furlanitalia 1]

It's on the slip in your box. 2 minutes in the bauer oven.

[Bravada 442 0]

No slip in my box! hahaha I guess they don't come with a slip on customs for some reason? I don't know. Thanks for the information though!

I was talking about the part where the uppers are sewn to the toecap. The side of my big toe would rub on the plastic and some of the nylon

thread. I tried filing it down with an emery board to no avail.

This has given me a problem on Supremes as well, but only my right foot. I've got a new pair I need to fit right now after a One95 warranty replacement, I'm going to see if this area can be punched a bit more to keep it from bothering me.

i've had this problem with every pair of skates that i've ever owned. i have callouses on the big toe and the little toe on both of my feet. i had a pair of torspo surge 221s that i had that area punched out in, and it helped a little bit. i'm in one95s now, and i really just deal with it. i really only notice it when i've been standing around in my skates on the ice a lot, or when i take them off. wide feet. fml.

Read my review

[Bravada 442 0]

I knew I saw it somewhere, I looked all through this thread and then saw your post JR. Thanks for the heads up.

Anyways, I was able to get on my TO's this morning for the first time. I got them baked 2.5 min each in a CCM oven (Bauer oven was down) yesterday and sat for about 15 minutes letting them form to feet.

Once I was on the ice, the first thing I noticed was WOW did I feel like I was back on my heels coming from an RBK 9k. I'm going to try and get on them a couple of more times and see if I can get used to it, but I'm wondering if I may have to be another convert to the 3mm heel lift club.

Another thing I noticed was that I went straight to the Stiff insert and felt like I couldn't get over on my skates AT ALL going backwards. Forward was fine, but backward crossovers and getting speed going backwards was very tough. I'm going to try the medium inserts next skate to see if that might have something to do with it, or if I just need to adjust my technique (maybe get a little more squat as i skate, which seemed to help) which may be flawed coming from a poorly fitting skate.

On to the positives:

I felt like I was able to stop and cut on RAILS. I normally skate on a 9/16" and feel very confident in going to a 5/8" because with the way the skate fit and performed I felt like with my feet feeling like one with the skate I could be more confident without having to rely on the extra dig of a 9/16" hollow.

The C Width and A Heel suggested by Darkstar50 was SPOT on. Perfect fit, no pressure points, and I was very surprised at this as I didn't want to go into the skate this morning expecting, like JR said "Stars to shoot out of the skates".

So far, I'm very impressed with the quality and overall build of the skate. The cloth liner is something else, as an above poster mentioned, it drys so quickly compared to a Clarino lined skate.

I look forward to putting these skates through the rigors of 3 seperate ice teams in the next 2 months and giving a full review then.

I know I skate with 3mm, but I think I need to put this out there as there's a bit of confusion here.

I feel like whenever I said what my personal preferences are, they somehow became the norm for heel lifts. The skate is - 1/32". To get it to neutral, what a Reebok is out of the box, you would need + 1/32" to put you there. 1/16" would put you "forward" in profiler's terms. The reason why I put the heel lifts in was because the steel isn't tall enough to grind it to where I want it.

3 mm is roughly 1/8". See how extreme that is?

The foot tracing for Bravada 442 was key to getting this fit right. Glad to hear so far, so good. Imagine this: they will get even better!!

I understand what you are saying. I was under the impression there were only certain lifts available, didn't know you could get lifts in increments smaller than 3mm or 1/8" (although maybe if I would have sat down and thought, I would of realized this).

I don't want to jump to conclusions or do anything drastic, it's the first skate on them and I've been on Bauer's before.

If I just can't get used to it, then I'll go 1/32" up to where my RBK's were but I want to do my absolute best to adjust myself to the skates as they are made before I decide that they must be adjusted to me.

I've always done a 3mm lift but out of curiousity, if a Supreme is -1/32, what is a vapor?

[fiimb 1]

also out of curiousity, how for forward do grafs put you?

[rachael7 1]

+1/32, if I recall correctly.

[starsfan71 9]

It depends on what you are coming from. Some people find it really hard to adjust some don't. It does put you quite a bit forward, but you can achieve the same feeling by profiling your blades.

[Bravada 442 0]

So if I wanted to go from the -1/32" that I have now to a even pitch, what profile would I be asking for on my skates?

[JR Boucicaut 3804]

+1/32" or just +1

I echo this - thanks for stressing it out JR!

you helped me to wrap my head around the concept of pitch a couple of years ago, and since then I had experimenting with it to find what works for me

in the process I tried forward pitch or +2 - it was way too much forward lean for ME

then minor forward +1 - better, but still too much forward lean (was affecting my backwards stating)

finally I settled on neutral, but sometimes I change blades to an unprofiled set wich is -1 and it still feels very comforable

so it's all personal preference, just experiment what works for you.

[JKranz24 1]

Just got the skates at my store...just to echo everyone's sentiments, but GOOD LORD is that thing light. It felt like I wasn't really wearing anything. And it's very surprising how comfortable it felt, because usually my foot is too wide for Bauer (right now I'm wearing U+ 09's)...I'm considering a switch now, even if my wallet doesn't agree.

Is the toecap put in a 6.5 skate larger than a 6 skate?
