dserbon 1 Report post Posted October 12, 2013 These are the best skates I have ever worn. Also, Scott provides exceptional customer service. If you're looking for new top of the line skates, go with some VH footwear 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cosmic 178 Report post Posted October 14, 2013 I ordered my custom pair on Monday August 19 and received it on Friday August 30 but I'm in Canada so there was no customs delay. The toe area was a bit tight even after heat molding so I e-mailed Scott and he gave me advice on punching it out and referred me to the how-to video on his website, but he told me I could also mark the spot and return it to him to have it done at the factory if the area was too hard for me to do. I managed to work it out on my own, following his instructions.Coming from Bauer Flexlite 4.0 here are my impressions. It's low cut. In fact the top eyelet is about the same height as the second eyelet on the Flexlite which suits me fine since I didn't lace the top eyelet on the Flexlites. But in doing so I lost some lateral support in order to gain forward flex. There's plenty of lateral support with the VH skate and forward flex is excellent laced to the top eyelet. I've played 2 open hockey sessions with them and have never skated so well! I even feel less tired after a game which I guess is because I'm not wasting so much energy flexing a sloppy skate.Besides having the carbon-fibre-looking patch on the side, I notice it has 10 eyelets instead of 9 like on mine and all other VH skate pictures I've seen. Are they a particularly large size or did you ask for more eyelets?Can you please refer me to the "how to punch out the toecap" tutorial? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Larry54 243 Report post Posted October 14, 2013 Can you please refer me to the "how to punch out the toecap" tutorial?The problem I had was mostly at the small toe just behind the toecap. The technique in this video would not work on the carbon fiber toe cap itself.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POHTKh_XStE&feature=youtu.be Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

retroXvertigo 4 Report post Posted October 22, 2013 Scott said mine should be done in the next 2-3 days. 2 weeks for custom skates is pretty awesome. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

retroXvertigo 4 Report post Posted October 22, 2013 I was originally quoted 2.5 weeks for production. He said it should be about 6 business days for them to get to me from Canada land. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

laserrobottime 149 Report post Posted October 28, 2013 So, I got my skates back with the adjusted toe caps. Skated a Junior A game in them and am still having issues.I contacted Scott and he will be fabricating me a new pair of boots to increase the volume and solve the toe issues I'm having once and for all. He is incredibly responsive (even for a picky customer like me) and has been an extremely fast communicator. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jlp15 13 Report post Posted October 30, 2013 Mine are "out for delivery" with Canada Post - playing the waiting game too.Mine apparently are in Mississauga now? Just called to find out that they are nowhere near where they are supposed to be. Worse than that. I sold the only skates I had to wear besides them yesterday. Have hockey tonight and tomorrow and a 4 game tourney this weekend. No skates. Safe to say today is not my day. Enjoy yours Dave! I'll be in cowtown next week we should hook up for a skate. If I have skates by than that is! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
