IPv6Freely 2092 Report post Posted October 29, 2018 A new toe cap would make sense. Something with much less volume above the toes. There's a reason a product is out there that eliminates that gap. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

z1ggy 81 Report post Posted October 29, 2018 That looks like they took the Mako toe cap and glued it on a Vapor skate. I'm excited for that because I love how my Mako skates fit in the toe box. Very snug and ergonomic. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flip12 715 Report post Posted October 30, 2018 (edited) 1 hour ago, Nicholas G said: It is. Yes. Nexus 1N/2N V-Cut it seems. Are you sure? Looks like CURV to me, and normal Nexus cut. No ribs like on the Napors (V-cuts). Too shiny and shallow surface appearance to be tech-mesh. Compare to when he did have Nexus-dressed Vapors: It's a Vapor toe cap, duller quarters with ribs and a Vapor shaped tendon guard, whereas his current boots have Nexus toe caps, Nexus-sized spacing between eyelets and the tendon guard is also standard Nexus shape. I think he's in plain vanilla(ish) Nexus 2Ns, complete with the "jewel" behind eyelet 4. Edited October 30, 2018 by flip12 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I asked because I was surprised there didn’t appear to be a custom option for a V-cut pro skate this year (at least available to consumers). I was wondering what they were going to do with Toews and all the rest of the more traditional non-Curv guys. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Toews is still in the tech-mesh boots with the Sesame Street Blue accents the way they were dressed last year. Tuch as well. I'm not sure if anyone's wearing a current look of that model.

Coldclay 53 Report post Posted November 2, 2018 I had the chance to preview a pair of CCM FT2 goalie skates which had the XS holder, which has.a dial near the back of the holder... Very well design and built, felt solid and strong while dialing, a pin which then protrudes out of the back of the holder and steel can then be pulled off... Not bad, although I did have to ask the rep to show me how to pull steel off (steel seemed 'stuck')... I'm sure with a little practice, holders would be easy to operate.
