Just received my Custom SVH skates and the fit is absolutely insane. I always had problems with bunions/spurs and now it is the first time in my life a skate feels like a sock; no pressure points, no problems!

Currently wearing the TF7s upgraded from ribcore 77ks that I’ve had for years and they are fantastic can’t say anything bad about them. And as for the tongue, with most of not all of the True skates the height of the tongue can be adjusted as it’s just held to the toebox with Velcro!!

I have been wearing retail TF7’s for 2 years now. They fit great for wide/oddly shaped deer. Have been wanting to upgrade my skates but can’t justify it because they’ve held up great.

Been wearing these for a few weeks, best skate I have ever had. Extremely comfortable, while also being very stiff and high performance. A huge upgrade over my old Bauers.

WOW very exciting skates! Looking forward to all the comparisons of the different models and also a comparison to custom skates from other brands!

I tried these on and they were the best feeling skates I have ever worn. They're stiff, but feel like a pair of slippers on my foot. If I was a skater and not a goalie, these are the skates I would wear.

Had got the True Cat 7s they are unreal with how they wrap around your foot, comfort is crazy good.

Hi whoever is skating at 1:53 1:54, the skate is a bit too wide on the right foot. You have a shake which is turbulence and that is caused in part, by excessive width. Great videos as always.

I like having the tendon protector and tongue being replaceable. I wear my shin pads over the tongue so having that tongue being shorter in not a problem. Thanks as I am looking for a new pair of skates now.

These are actually great for wide feet, I'm an EEE+, was wearing nexus EE which was wide enough in the forefoot but too loose around the ankle. tried all 3 brands few months ago, tacks EE have gotten better, supreme fit 3 are not even close to the nexus ee. Went with the True Cat 5 as fit a touch more snug than my nexus but much better ankle wrap support. im a beginner skater but a huge improvement immediately.

Great video. Any chance we could get a review of the cat 5?

I purchased my CAT9's a few months ago. They came with bent steel, which was immediately replace at no cost of course. I guess there was a run where a bunch left the factory where in which the steel was crooked. So keep an eye out for that if you get them. Besides that these have been awesome. They do sit a bit higher than the usual CCM or Bauer, and takes a little bit to get the feel for. But like he said here, once you use them, it's no problem getting a good feel for them. These things are amazing.

just got the CAT 5 back in December, and they fit very very well. only thing I gotta do now is switch out the blades since i was used to getting Bladetech.

You can adjust the length of the tongue as well, i had the same issue, so i just took the tongue out and stuck the velcro on further down.

I've had 3 pairs of Trues and custom Trues. Here's how they are different from CCM/ Bauer. They touch every part of your foot, where as the CCM/ Bauer stuff leaves a little wiggle room. True make great skates (I went back to a Bauer Mach).

Can't wait to see the custom review!

I have 7.5 Bauer vapor 3x pro. What size would you recommend for the true? No shops around me has them to try on…

Fits like a ski boot and after you bake them... it's most comfortable skate I've ever had out of the box. They really wrap around your ankles.

I bet almost any skate would feel great on ice like that. Our rink is so disgustingly chewed up I feel like I need full suspension.

Nice video. Would be interested in a video on the wides, with someone who has a nexus size foot

Can you talk/feature about the bauer supreme 3s pros please i’m thinking of buying some

I have the true tf9 and the tongue can be pulled up for maximum comfort but you can’t where them outside the knee pad well.

True definitely deserves more attention 👍 I’m a former competitive ice dancer and for years wore custom boots that were $800 a pair (not including blades), and was looking for a great fitting first hockey skate to join a beer league this year. Did all the research I could and ended up getting TF7’s. Can’t say enough about how pleased I am with the fit and value at only $329 usd and I’m looking forward to putting them through a couple beer league seasons before upgrading to these Catalyst 9’s.

Hey Chris. Which is a stiffer skate, the Bauer Ultrasonic or the True Cat 9? Thanks.

Ive had my TF9s for a few years. Comfort I will agree True skates are the most comfortable skates I have ever skated in. However as a few have said, I'm not impressed by the quality. I don't play anywhere near high level and am switching out to a different skate because the tongue is breaking apart, which is actually not the out of box but their memory foam one,, the clear coat is coming off, I've broken 2 blades ((both Step Blacksteel and in the exact same place, right where the LONG hook connector is by the vertical bar) and I can shift both runners back and forth in the holder about 2 mms. I have never broken a piece of steel in Bauer nor CCM skates. I feel there is some sort of design flaw in their holder and runner.

Are there any cleaning techniques that are needed for blades after skating to prevent rust buildup or anything, or will just a simple rag wiping the ice off them be enough?

I've heard True's are terrible for wide feet. Of skates I've seen recently, the super tacks are the best option for my foot (7 crazy wide, like old Bauer Nexus fit).

Please review the TRUE SVH skate - true custom skate built from the inside out. Thanks

I have to ask, are you still wearing these? I’m wearing CCM Ribcor 100k Pros and was thinking of trying these. I’m in a 7.5r in CCM, not sure if I would need 8 in these? Any quality issues?

Great video. You've got to do a follow up once your mate bakes his skates, especially since he's coming from another brand. That's kind of the point with True. Can you get a tendon guard that flexes more than the Catalyst tendon? I thought that was their tendon guard option with the most flex.

Got these two weeks ago, the clear coat peeled off. The TF9 broke before that out of nowhere.... built quality is bot great from True imo. Went back to Bauer.

Coming from a Jetspeed FT1, I got my SVH Customs back in November. After 10 Skates in them, I absolutely hated them. They have been put on the shelf for now. I will give them another try after this season, but I was not pleased at all. The skates feel loose, i feel as though everywhere i want to move my foot, I cant and everywhere I dont want my foot to move, it does. Went back to my FT1s and felt right at home. Has me curious on what to do from here.

I have the catalyst 7 skates and I love them so much. They are Not as stiff as the 9s

I have the 2nd gen True pro custom skates and I can’t go back to anything else.

Thank you for this clip 👍🏻 But the tongue of the skate isn't too short. Because it makes no sense to wear it over the shin guards!! This is old school style and there is only one player left in the NHL 😂 The kids in the hockey school we learn from the beginning to wear the skates properly and to wear with the tongue under the shin guards...but of course there are always a few exceptions 🤷

only issue is that the skates are plagued with durability issues, not to mention that half the steel on the left skate came crooked from the factories. we warranty quite a few of these due to the durability not being able to compare to CCM or Bauer

Are you going to review the true svh customs vs the ccm customs

Please do a comparison between the tf9 and the cat9

Easton Makos will always be my go to skate.

Cat 7 review please!

Ever try Grafs?

I just bought my catalyst 9 skate and the skate blade is so bent that I totally can’t get it sharpen or use it. Now I dk what to do.

You can adjust that tonge so it's taller

Plz do Bauer supreme Mach vs M5 Pro

what is happening to the store website?

I really enjoy your videos and reviews, but have to say, videos like this one feel kinda unorganized. I really wish Tommy would take 10 minutes to actually research the skates he's going to wear test. And not baking them feels like a crime. Seems like a half hearted review and I feel like the products and your followers deserve better. Just my thoughts.

Be careful if you tuck the shin guards in and the tongue over. The edges of the skates at the top west down quickly and so does the tongue.

bro do the bauer vaper 3x

Had custom True skates and they fell apart very quickly. Rivets fall out, glue breaks down and skates look like crap.

Ccm 580 tacks

*facepalm* Super stiff skates: they’re not as stiff as TF9. Stiff tendon guard: they’re quite flexible especially compared to the TF line. Tongue too low: the tongue can be moved up or down easily by the Velcro tab. DID NOT BAKE THE SKATES BEFORE USE?!?! That’s the number one thing you need to do with True skates prior to use. It’s how they’re designed to be used and it says so right in the box when you buy them. If they fit well pre-bake, they’re going to be a minimum half size too big once they’re baked. Geez. One of the dumbest ‘reviews’ I’ve ever seen with so much misinformation that could easily be found just about anywhere online. Grew up playing in CCM and Bauer, most recently the second gen 1X before moving to TF9 and now Cat9s so I’m not talking without firsthand knowledge

I'm not buying anything from True after my awful experience. I ordered a pair of TF7 in size of 7,5 and it appeared they make half sizes simply putting a toe insert into a bigger size. I don't know who can accept the way it feels. Luckily I could send that crap back.

CCM Tacks is what this Canadian wore.

Graf g7 designed for skaters

Unless the manufacturers have demo days, most of us will not convert to another brand.

Graf g7

Graf 705 > ALL

True's styling is absolutely terrible. Lose that chrome plastic on the side. So tacky. I like the blue they use, but not this yellow on the catalyst.

Yeah but they are kinda ugly, ill stick with my ccm jetspeed

as soon as I heard your accent and you refer to the skate as a boot I'm done. next

I only wore CCM, my last pair was full custom FT2’s then I tried the True custom after that and my last pair was the True SVH full custom. Don’t think I’ll ever go back to another boot tbh, True full customs are the absolute only way to go
