Roller skates have always been a fun source of outdoor entertainment. Whether you’re in it for the exercise, or simply because you enjoy the fresh air and cool breeze while cruising, there’s plenty of reasons why you want to jump back into the action. Finding the best roller skates for you isn’t always as easy as it sounds, though.

Finally got over being ill, which included a bacterial sinus infection and a double ear infection to get on these bad boys.These skates are a dream. They feel heavy in hand, but you don't feel the weight at all once you're skating. I didn't realize just how much confidence I lost on my outside edges of my 'problem foot' until I started getting comfortable in the True VHs (TVHs). I noticed that I am finally able to start putting my weight back into my outside edge and my turning radius, stopping, mohawks, and edgework in general is quickly improving, as are my crossovers (forwards and backwards) now that I'm in a proper boot.Initial getting used to took two skates.

I typically get a 92/75 FBV sharpening, but dialed down a notch for these first three skates. I'm glad I did, because it gave me a chance to gain the confidence in the boots without compensation (or the unforgiving sharper edges) based on the runners. I will be dialing back up to 92/75 moving forward, though, I think.No foot fatigue, it's helped me get my mechanics back. I don't feel any pain with my extra nav bones in my feet, no lace bite. It's a bit weird when you walk in the skates because you can feel your toes at the edge of the toebox, but that goes away when you skate because you get your knees bent. Great heel lock. Very easy to transfer your weight from the balls of your feet to neutral position, and even easy to throw your weight into your heels for both inside and outside edge work.
The way the skates helped with my mechanics has all but eliminated a groin and hip flexor issue I was having while trying to compensate an issue I had in my other pairs of skates.Feel free to ask any other questions. Otherwise, so far, so good.
Any input would be helpful, Thanks in advance. I’m looking into a pair of True skates and found a lot of pro stocks avaible. I’ve seen a lot in both D and EE width but I have also read that they will mold to any width. Any truth to this?
I know they are custom fit to the customers foot but if they do in fact mold to any shape it should be little to no problems if I heat me up correct?Before you buy anyone else’s custom made skates, triple check that they fit. Try them on or compare your measurements to those on the skates’ spec form. If going by recorded measurements, I’d also seek a return guarantee in case it still just doesn’t fit right. It’s like buying someone else’s tailored suit, so the idea of a ready-to-wear size and fit profile doesn't apply. Buy with extreme diligence.Edited September 30, 2018 by flip12Overwriting mobile auto-correct shenanigans.
All of that information is readily available and/or pictured 99% of the time. I don’t have any less sympathy for someone who buys a pro stock skate online than someone who buys a stock skate “1.5 sizes down from their shoe size” and ends up with a clown shoe/skate. Uneducated/misled online shopper is the same in both cases.In fact I’d have more confidence buying something that is literally stamped “7” “D” “A” as opposed to trying to do the mental gymnastics required to discern that a Nexus D is actually a EE or that a 2015 CCM 6.5 is a 2017 CCM 7.For True this might be a little more difficult but I digress- it’s Monday and I’m grumpy.Edited October 1, 2018 by Cavs019.

It makes him VERY useful for closing gaps, or picking people off with a jab.Surprisingly for a Megadrive Beat ’em up, there are only 7 levels. Streets of rage 3 sega genesis rom download. However, this is made up for by having two different Level 7s based on how you do in Level 6, and this affects for ending. Mr X STILL doesn’t give a shitOther than that, SoR3 is a, so you walk left to right on a pseudo 3d plane and punch things. In SoR2 Max did a lame karate chop motion with a bent arm for a punch, here Zan uses his robotic arm to extend his range.

I've known a bunch of people who have gotten lucky, myself included, with pro-return or secondhand True/VH's made for other people. I was lucky that the pro I got mine from actually lived in my town so I could try them on before buying. The fit was close enough and the price was right for me to take a gamble on them. Now it took 2 bakes and a little heat gun work but I can still say that True/VH skates made for someone else fits me better than any retail, pro stock, or custom made Bauer (from late 90s/early 2000) that I've ever worn.
I think as long as you can find a fit that is close enough and the price is right, go for it. But if you've got all sort of foot/fitting issues and you're not paying that much less than what True/VH's go for, just bite the bullet and get a pair made.

Until recently VH/True sizing was printed on a label in the same place Bauer sizing info would be. My point was Trues aren't any worse or more of a gamble than any other custom skate from another manufacturer.

This is unique to extremely thermoformable skates.

This is unique to extremely thermoformable skates.I have seen multiple skates in the length I would need, it’s just the width that I’m mostly concerned about. The Trues I have looked at online only have a barcode on the bottom of the sole but in most cases the numbers are not clear enough to make out being that they are used.
If I was able to read the numbers I might have a shit if getting some specs from True but I can’t in this case. Most are listed with the length but the width is unknown.

Most are listed with the length but the width is unknown.Best bet is to ask the person what skate size and model they usually wear. For example, I wear a 7.5EE in Jet Speed and Vapor. So if I was to sell my True skates I would make sure the person buying them matches my specifications. So my dad bought a pair of True's but recently injured his hip so decided to hang them up after skating in them less than 10 times and gave me them.
Only skated in them once on the ODR and they felt good skating wise, but are a little too painful in the arches as well they are alittle short around the toes but haven't caused much pain there. I was wondering if you guys would advise anything to enhance the fit there whether it be another bake, getting them punched out, or just persistence?Aside from rebaking there are tips on trues YouTube channel for arch pain that's easily alleviated.
Another method for arch pain is to heat gun the arch and physically push the arch down a little at a time until you feel relief. I'd start with the insole modification first.Also you can likely create more room in the toe box by shaving some or the foam in there.
That’s up to you. I would say go True because they’ve been amazing for me. But you have to make that decision for yourself.Personally I don’t feel like that $200 is getting you anything extra but everyone has their own opinions.Exactly. It's totally up to you what you want out of your skate. My buddy did a lot of research and actually reached out to the different companies and asked questions. He finally decided on trues bc his feet are messed and he wanted comfort and fit over anything else.
He can't fit into ANY retail skate as volume is always an issue. He's a 6.5ee with a large instep. Even the Nexus wasn't even close to fitting him.After a week of researching he decided on trues.Custom trues vs CCM/Bauer aren't really comparable because the trues don't fit like traditional skates at all. Even custom CCM/Bauer will still have the same 'feel' as their off the shelf skates but just exact to your foot specs. If you have simple issues like feet length discrepancies and have never had issues with retail brands, and want the options like tongue, eyelets etc, Bauer or CCM would probably suit you, if you want to dish out the extra 200+.For me, my next customs will probably be CCM.
I really don't think Bauer skates are worth as much as they sell them for. Trues have been great for me but the only issue I have with retail is my 1/2 diff in sizes for each foot, which isn't a huge deal but I still notice the slightest diff in heel lock on my smaller foot.
I really love the comfort of my trues but I want to try a lighter skate for my next customs, which probably won't be until another 3 years as I just picked up some brand new retail as1s for cheap.
