greenstripetowel 1 Report post Posted November 22, 2011 Hello, I just bought Bauer One100 Skates, had them baked and skated in them once. During that first skate I had bad pain on the front of my inner left ankle. When i took my skates off after the game I noticed that the skate cut me in a spot right through my skate sock. Im sure its the felt tounge that is rubbing in that one spot during my stride. My question is, has anyone experienced this in this skate? Should I tough it out for a few more skates and hope it goes away as it breaks-in or should I cut or shave that part of the felt tounge? Any opinions or shared experience would be appreciated.

Speedz98 15 Report post Posted November 22, 2011 I've been wearing Bauer One100s for over a year and haven't experienced this. Perhaps you're not pulling the tongue up enough when lacing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greenstripetowel 1 Report post Posted November 22, 2011 The tongue is all the way up. Maybe I am tying too tight? I figured during break in its better to tie really tight for proper heel lock? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rockingsquat 4 Report post Posted November 22, 2011 Trimming the tongue might help if the problem is indeed the tongue. Don't cut it straight, try to make the white felt edges thinner and thinner while keeping the same length, you can do a triangle shape (thick at the base / thin at the tip).But before doing that I would go back to my LHS, make sure I'm properly fitted and work with them to solve your fitting issue.

greenstripetowel 1 Report post Posted November 22, 2011 I see what you're saying, like feather it out toward the edge. I will try that but first I will try skating with my laces looser and my top eyelet undone. I'm coming from graf 735s so I'm used to skating with a deep knee bend. I think that's what caused this because when I was trying to get that deep knee bend in the bauers they were too stiff and just ended up cutting in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greenstripetowel 1 Report post Posted November 26, 2011 Update:I skated in them again this morning and they felt great. No more pain and lots of forward flex. Here is what I did differently. 1. Wore a thin Dr.scholls blister pad over my cut ankle. 2. Wore Bauer Vapour skate socks rather than my thin skate socks. 3.Flattened the area of tongue that was cutting me with pliers. 4.Skipped the top eyelet.I think #1 and #4 were the most impactful. I love these skates Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

greenstripetowel 1 Report post Posted November 27, 2011 No, sorry. It looks almost the same just flatter in a spot about the size of a dime. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I love these skatesThink I'm doing the reply right lol.... But I wanted to say same thing happen to me with the skates. I got them last month and my right foot near the front was hurting a lot! So what I did was skip the top eyelid and Loosen my skates up and the pain went away for the most part but after a hour or so of skating it starts to hurt on both feet on the bottom and by the toe cap... I haven't baked them yet. Didn't know if it would help this is my 1st real pair of skates. Can anyone help me on what to try?.......I'm sorry if any of my spelling is messed up. I'm not a good speller at all Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FATPHILLY 0 Report post Posted November 30, 2011 When you unlace the top eyelet your body weight slightly shifts forward because now there is less resistance in front to hold your leg in an upright position, so that creates more pressure on your toes and balls of your feet. Cheapest solution is to play around with lacing patterns, for example instead of undoing the top one, try to skip the forth highest, or the third highest right where the instep location is. The more expensive solution is switching to a softer boot.Cheers.Hey I wanna thank u again. I never used the laces that came with the skates so tonight I put them back on and I skipped the 3rd highest eyelid and I had no pain at all and my skates never felt better. THANK U AGAIN! One more thing. Do u think baking my skates will make them better? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sharks25 9 Report post Posted November 30, 2011 I would think so. Alive material boots are supposed to be baked generally, iirc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ligcmp 0 Report post Posted April 9, 2012 I'm looking into the Bauer one 100 and have some questions. I hear it fits good out of the box and doesn't need baked but never had a baked skate Rubo makes good points. My question is more for fitting and I live three plus hours away from a hockey shop. I wear a 10 d in bauer vapor 20s and wandering if I should stick with the same size for the bauer supreme line? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wrangler 157 Report post Posted April 10, 2012 If the Vapor fits you well, don't buy Supremes without trying them on. They fit differently, and I wouldn't be surprised if you couldn't get a comfortable fit in any size Supreme. If you're happy with the Vapor boot, you should stick with it.As to a skate fitting well without baking, that depends on both the skate and your foot. It's possible you may have the perfect foot to fit a skate without baking; many people don't -- that's why we bake them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jordan 13 Report post Posted April 10, 2012 Failing to bake a skate like the One100 is frankly silly. The entire advantage of the Alive material is how it forms to the foot when heated.BTW...my son just got a pair of the new One.9s, through, ahem, a friend...the new material molds even more. It is really impressive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ligcmp 0 Report post Posted April 10, 2012 I have a low level supreme before the vapors and has been so long I forget what they were. My heel lifts a little in the vapor but I feel more of a power skater then the quick footwork like they say the vapor is for. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wrangler 157 Report post Posted April 10, 2012 The general feeling here seems to be that that's marketing hype, and doesn't have anything to do with how the boot fits. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I love these skatesI have a pair of One95s that are 2 years old and I still can't stand the top eyelets to be tied. I'm sure that made a world of difference. For my money, the Supremes are the best skates in the world right now...and just keep getting better! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
watchgreat 4 Report post Posted April 28, 2012 Lots of people have had that issue with the tongues on the ankles including me. I would just shave them down a bit. I just sucked it up for a year until the area wore down but trimming would be better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
