Best True Hockey Skates

True Hockey is known for offering highly customizable skates and pushing the boundaries of skate design. We collaborate with players and gear experts to review each skate based on durability (ability to withstand wear and tear), power (the transfer of energy from the skater's legs to the ice), and speed (capacity to propel a player to maximum speed). Rankings are updated weekly based on SidelineSwap sales data.

Perfect skates for:
Any player who values a customized fit.

True Custom Hockey Skates are designed for individual foot anatomy, utilizing a 3D scanning process for personalized shells that ensure optimal fit and performance. This approach marks a shift from traditional skates and showcases True's dedication to innovation. Founded by Scott Van Horne, who has over 30 years in the custom skate industry, True emphasizes individualized performance reflecting its heritage.

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.
