Question for True custom experts

[The Dude 1]

Hey all. I have a question for those of you that have True custom SVH skates.… My custom skates came in, but I’m currently injured and on one foot, so I can’t bake / fit them. Out of curiosity, I put my one good foot into one of them; again, not baked. It seems like there’s not nearly enough depth to me, but this is my first pair of custom SVH’s — I’m currently on Hzrdus 9x’s. For those of you that have had or currently have the custom, is this normal pre-bake? I can’t imagine they somehow find all that much volume after a bake, but….?

Totally normal. I couldn't even get my VH/True custom skates on before baking them.

I saw this on reddit and you already got a bunch of feedback there to go off of. But to add, I would bake them first just to see, but I would fear that isn't enough volume and you will be getting lace bite in them once that tongue breaks down a bit. These are supposed to be fully custom skates and your depth looks very off. But again... you should bake them just to ensure your heel is being pulled back completely.
