True Pro Custom Hockey Skates
True Custom Hockey Skates are built with a focus on individual foot anatomy, using a 3D scanning process to create personalized shells for optimal fit and performance. This customization is a significant departure from traditional, off-the-shelf skates, and represents a continued commitment to innovation within the True brand. True was founded by Scott Van Horne, a figure with over 30 years of experience in the custom skate industry, and their focus on individualized performance reflects this heritage.
Key features include:
| 3D Anatomical Foot Scan | Ensures a secure and comfortable fit for all sizes. |
| Thermoformable Material | This is to enhance fit and neuromuscular connection with the ice. |
| Redesigned CARV Toecap | Features a sleek design aesthetic in an even lighter package. |
| Antimicrobial Liner | Compliments the multi-layered construction with improved moisture-wicking. |
| Pro-level Stell and Holder | Offers improved durability and enhanced blade security |
| GENETIX Insole | Offers two different fit systems to accommodate low/mid and high arches. |
Top Competitors
The Bauer Supreme 2S Pro skates offer a comparable level of customization as the True Pro Custom skates, with a focus on power and stability. They feature a lightweight, anatomically fitting design for maximum power transfer and a customizable fit with their patented Flex Edge technology. The Supreme 2S Pro skates also utilize the Tuuk Lightspeed Edge holder for quick blade changes. In comparison, the CCM JetSpeed FT2 skates provide a customizable fit with a one-piece boot design for improved responsiveness and control. They feature an ultra-lightweight construction and a Rocketframe composite material for enhanced stiffness and agility. The JetSpeed FT2 skates also feature the Speedblade Xchange system for easy and quick blade changes.
Progression of the True Pro Custom
True Hockey, a relatively younger brand compared to established giants like Bauer, has offered a more streamlined approach to its skate lineup, particularly with its flagship True Pro Custom skate. This translates to fewer model variations and a clearer focus on refinement over major overhauls.
| 👍 Pros |
|---|
| These skates are like an extension of my feet. The custom-fitting process means almost no break-in period. The comfort level is incredible. |
| The heat-moldable option lets you customize the flex profile to your liking, which is a game-changer. |
| The skates feel incredibly lightweight, which helps with agility and maneuverability. I've been using them for a season now, and they're still holding up great. |
| 👎 Cons |
|---|
| These skates are definitely an investment. The custom fitting process adds to the cost. |
| If you need skates right away, this might not be the best option. The custom fitting process takes time. |
| Some users with very complex foot shapes might still experience some fit issues. |
The True Pro Custom are the skates I currently use. They're fantastic. The durability on these is just otherworldly. I've used my Pro Customs for over two years, and they still hold up great. In being custom, a lot of the holders (what keeps the steel in) can be swapped out. They will feature the quick-release Bauer version, or you'll see these skates with the quick-release CCM version. When you're looking for these skates, you can pretty much find whatever you desire.
