CCM AS-V Pro Hockey Skates Pro Stock Size 9

Pro stock AHL skates made in Canada. Custom thin/stiff white felt tongues, stock holders removed and replaced with Bauer LS Edge 280mm. Small lifts on heel between holder and boot. Does not come with insoles or runners. *Believe they are size 9 but could be a 9.5 given the holder size. No sizing indication on skate.* Boots are very stiff. The top outside part of the right skate cuff has slightly separated between boot and eyelets. As a result, the internal support is weakened and there is a tiny hole in the liner but not all the way through. See last 3 photos. A professional shop or mail-in service would be able to sew this together which would stabilize the separated internal support. Skates are in great condition otherwise. No returns to seller based on fit given they are pro stock, but I would suggest the Seel Returns add-on in case they don’t fit or don’t like them.
