2024 True Catalyst 9X4 Hockey Skates Regular Width 7.5 - ONLY WORN ONCE

ONLY WORN ONCE - Original Price with Taxes $1,166.93 I purchased these skates on 2/15/25. They fit just right until I baked them and then they seem a bit too long. I went ahead and got the steel balanced and profiled at 11' with a 3/4 hollow. I skated in them once (in a beer league game with clean socks) and they are in fact a bit too long for me. I had them for just over 30 days so I couldn't return them. I am 43 and have been skating since I was 5 and these are the most comfortable skates I have ever worn and the performance is great I just need a smaller size. I like my big toe to brush the toe cap. As per the manufacture, these skates can be baked as many times as you need to so it won't be a problem getting them to mold to your foot. I have some of the plastic wrap left over that I can ship with the skates. I didn't use the original laces so those are brand new. Building off the success of the previous Catalyst line of skates, the True Catalyst 9X4 Senior Ice Hockey Skates are elite performance, redefined. Elite-level players seeking the fit, comfort and performance of the famous True custom skates in an off-the-shelf package need look no further!
