True Catalyst 5X4 Hockey Skates Size 8.5 Wide

Designed for the competitive player who demands elite-level performance without the top-tier price tag, the TRUE Catalyst 5X4 sets a new standard for mid-price point skates. Building on TRUE’s reputation for best-in-class fit, this skate offers the perfect balance of lightweight agility, superior moldability, and durability. Whether you are a playmaking center or a mobile defenseman, the Catalyst 5X4 is engineered to maximize your range of motion and energy transfer. Key Features & Technology NEUROFIT+ One-Piece Shell: Unlike traditional two-piece skates, the 5X4 features a patented one-piece composite shell. This creates a direct connection between your foot and the ice, resulting in explosive power transfer and immediate response during tight turns. MotionCuff Technology: The updated tendon guard offers increased flexibility, allowing for deep knee bends and full stride extension without sacrificing stability. This promotes natural ankle movement for dynamic skating. Thermoformable Fit: TRUE skates are renowned for their heat-molding capabilities. The 5X4 shell becomes pliable when heated, wrapping perfectly around the unique contours of your foot to eliminate negative space and reduce break-in time. SHIFT MAX Holder: Equipped with the SHIFT MAX holder and bench-change technology, you can swap out damaged or dull steel in seconds without missing a shift. Lightweight Core: By utilizing advanced layering techniques, TRUE has reduced the weight of the boot compared to previous generations, helping you maintain top speed late into the third period.
