Had the original Mako (a half size too big - 10.5 EE) and loved them until I got Mako bumps and started having severe ankle pain. These are giving me similar issues right out of the box. Totally aware of how these must be molded to be comfortable but I’m not sure if I wanna risk it or return/sell and go back to supremes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had the original Makos and they fit great post-bake. Got the same size in the Mako II and had to give them up due to the pain I was in from the skates haha. It was a big disappointment. And since I purposely waited to buy them, there was limited supply. I just had to go back to Bauer and currently rock the 2015 1X's. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The fact that I found them in my size (10 EE) was an online shopping miracle. Back to the drawing board. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe not 3x the price of tacki mac nice, but still very nice. Tacki-mac also can’t do dual colors like this. I have my first ever set of custom sticks on the way so figured why not. Likely go back to tacki-mac in the future just for the price difference and the wait time (took 2 months for these) Nice grip and hockey equipment lugger.

Nice. So the riveter was able to lock the backings into the plastic insoles of the skate? I always imagined the plastic would bend the teeth of the backings.
