I picked a pair of SVH's a month ago here in Canada, so far they are the comfiest skates I've ever had. It took about 2 weeks for my skates to come in. I added extra protection and made the skate extra stiff. Stiffest skate I've ever seen and they are tanks! Can't really notice the weight difference, but for sure heavier when doing a side-by-side with my previous Vapor skates.

What an amazing build process. As I mentioned on another vid…I did Bauer ones and am soooo not happy with them. Swore id never get a custom skate again. Until this video. I love the “true” to foot mold that True has done. Wow.

I just received my custom svh skates. Ordered them 6 days ago and got here today. Less than a week for custom skates is absolutely unreal. My only problem I’m getting with them right now is the tongue keeps on popping off and or moving whenever I pull it back to get my foot in. Other than that it is a extremely comfortable boot. Going skating with them tomorrow! Might come back and give an update.

I got my SVH 6 months ago and they’re the best skates I’ve ever worn. I ended up getting a crack in my boot on the composite part and took them to the shop where I ordered them from, they took pics and got on a call with their True rep. One week later I had a completely brand new rebuilt pair sent in, so for all the online complaints I’ve seen about True and their customer service not being good I have to say that’s completely false. No questions asked, new set of boots shipped to me.

I wear some skates that somebody else customed himself. Something went wrong with his customization and then the store had to sell them for less then 500 Euros. Luckily I know the owner of the store and he gave me those for a pretty pretty good price. I have nearly the same shape that the person that customized them had, so I just baked them 2 times and I can say that they really fit me like if they would be customed for my foot. This is by far the best skate I have ever worn. Feels like a sock to me and I have really thin or tight feet. Sorry for the bad English I’m from Germany

Live in montreal Canada, Bought True skates 6 months ago. Boy do they feel like slippers once properly baked. Luv what u do folks. Been watching lots of your videos 4 a looong time. Please keep it going where it belongs 😉

was in for ccm super tack at first but glad I changed my mind. Had a Watson-Jones surgery on left ankle (partial reconstruction). These skates are a next gen of skates !

My SVH Customs arrived at the shop here in Colorado today, Wednesday. I got fitted on Thursday evening. That's less than 6 days people. I did NOT pay for express production. 🤯

When is the follow up video scheduled for this? Keen to see Tommey's impressions. Currently considering the SVH's or CCM's full custom option. Keep up the good work guys!

When Tommy says he likes room in the toe length, curious if standing straight he still brushes against the toe box and then in hockey stance doesn’t feel it, or if he like absolutely no touching of the toe to end of boot, even when standing upright?

cannot wait for the final review!

During the video, Tommy talks about not liking profiling on his skates because Chris had a bad experience with them. As a person considering profiling, I am very curious to know what the bad experience was. I have heard nightmare stories of players accidentally getting two different profiles for each blade. But that is a shop error. Does Chris just skate on an out of the box profile now? Did the Zuperior, Quad, or dual radius feel funky. Please share if you can. Thanks.

How do these compare to ccm custom skates? It seems true is an actual custom boot. Ccm seems to have a boot already made, and then tailored to foot. Rather than a new last made to foot?

I got mine in the exactly 7 days. I also have turned into a true fan boy and bought the exact same hat.

Please do a comparison video between the True and CCM customs. Fit, feel, comfort, maneuverability, etc.

how do these compare to the ccms? Im looking to get a new pair this summer and was gonna wait ft6's. I have custom 1x pro skates right now, and although the fit and stiffness is better than retail their custom method falls short of the ccm's and true by a mile. So I guess my question is are these that much better than the ccms?

My skates arrived in Germany in 6 days. Did the scan on Saturday and they arrived back at the shop on the follow Friday. The only downside to the skates is putting them on and off.

peter, what skates are u using now ?

I’m sure if done right, any of the TRUE customs can be great skates. But here’s my horrible experience, I want to share this so you all can learn from it, and make wiser choices, or voice your concerns during the ordering process if you feel something’s not right. So date back to pre-Christmas in 2022, I ordered the full custom TRUE SVH…didn’t get it until January and it was made in the wrong size, TRUE made my full custom skates in my sneaker size!! How did they get my sneaker size?? For some weird reason their scanning app prompted to record the sneaker size for file records. Go figure! Then I waited over a month to get the “corrected” custom order, which still fit like a boat. I then waited another month, got the skates back, which didn’t seemed to have anything done or corrected with regards to the sizing problem…don’t even know what they did, but same old BS on sizing problem that it fit liked a boat. I later realized the toe box was too long. And TRUE was too lazy or too cheap to do the right thing, that is to rebuild my custom order from scratch. Shop owner told me TRUE was whining about having to correct my order multiple times and there’s no way they would take my SVH back for another correction. You know by this time it’s all BS…. Shop owner felt so bad he took my full custom SVH in, swapped me with a pair of pro-return TRUE Catalyst Pro, and a $700+ in-store credit. I then also purchased a pair of Bauer Supreme Mach Pro intermediate Fit 2. Turned out it was too low and wide at the ankle opening, and I only managed to skate in them twice…sold it in Christmas 2023 for almost half the price. (Note to self, I do not fit the Supreme line. Vapor line is more suitable for me.) Today I’ve finally got my hands on a pair of Bauer Vapor Hyp2rLite with the salvaged money from the Mach Pro Craigslist sale, and I’ve also made up the difference with extra cash. If this all goes right, I’m therefore finally closing the purchase mistake cycle after a couple years, and after a couple skate purchases…much like those NHL player trades effect, eg. Ryan Spooner was the last remaining piece of the Mark Messier trade tree in Edmonton. 🤦🏻‍♂️ P.S. This is to TRUE, if you are reading this, by no means I’m trying to tarnish your company’s reputation. I’m sharing my true experience here which I have text messages with the store owner here in Vancouver, and the receipts to back up my case.

I got my Custom True skates a little over a year ago. I had an issue with them. I have very flat feet and noted that on the order. The scan that true does does not get the bottom of your feet. The skates where made with a fairly high arch. I could not skate on them. I worked with True's resolution team and they made me a new pair at no additional cost. The second pair they made for me are great. It is a little tricky to get the skates on b/c they fit so well. Once you have them on, the blades feel as though they are an extension of your foot. There is absolutely no flex or wiggle room in the boot. Very very stiff boot. If you have strange shaped feet it it so worth the extra money to get comfortable skates.

and your toes SHOULD touch slightly the beginning of the toecap.

wich shop in Gothenburg you was in?

I’ve been in true’s since mlx and the newest customs I can’t physically put on and off without excruciating pain. The boot is just too narrow… I’ve rebaked a couple times and still can’t do it. Does anyone have any advice?

Does anyone know if they’re gonna release new svh skates this spring/summer? I wanna go get mine now, but not if new model is coming in 6-12 weeks.

Having a few odd lumps and pronated ankle bone these seem very appealing. Question- being flat footed how will the boot accommodate that. Does it mould for arch support or will it mould as flat as per me feet?

I don’t see them on the website, you have to go to the store and custom them??

What happens if they don't fit well? Do they have an alteration/fit guarantee policy?

Can we please get a Bauer Mach skate review?

With your CAT 9's, did you find the boot loosened up around your foot? I have the CAT 5's and am finding that the boot is not as tight around my foot as it was when i first got them. Is this just normal break in or should I go back n get them baked again? Have you noticed a similar situation?

Stephen, with True skates, go 1 to 1.5 size lower than your most comfortable sneakers, simple as that. My Nike and Vans snickers are size 9 US and my True skates are size 7.5

Crazy, I wear an 8.5 shoe and a 5.5 skate

William, yes they should talk about True goalie skates cuz after all, 60% of all NHL goalies have True skates on ice !

dont forget that these skate really lock nicely your ankles

Comfy skate for sure. Took forever to get them once they were ordered and they are heavier than my new Bauer Customs. The True skates fell apart as well.

Should have went over some of the goalie skates

true skates, we don't use them very badly, on all the models we had in the club, the rivets on the holders broke after a month. that's why we will never use them again. in the season 22/23, 60 pieces broke 7x, 15 pieces were torn 9x, 20 pieces of PX were torn. I don't understand their policy of respecting cracks and breaks in the warranty because they admit very little ....

Bought a pair a few years ago for my son. Said they were the most comfortable skate he’s owned, however they are heavy and they fell apart. The eyelets popped consistently in the flex point and the rear guard kept popping off. Went back to Bauer and has never had a problem since. His True skates didn’t last a year… stay away.

Peter, True skates comes with adjustment pads, different sizes and height to tight fit your bed sole

btw...not to brag, but I live 20mns from CCM and Bauer manufacturers 😉

Why does he wear skates of size 7.5 and shoes of size 6? Isn't that like super big?

Tommy's skates fit like clown shoes

I work for a big hockey retailer in America and I see custom true skates constantly for repairs. If your on the ice COMPETITIVELY more then 3 times a week this skate WILL NOT last a full season and with the price increase I just don’t see the justification. True also has HORRIBLE quality control You really want a comfy skate pay money get a real hockey skate from ccm total custom plus

Pfff what beautiful skates

ccm fanboy to a true fanboy haha
