Matt Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Question for those of you that swapped your stock Step blade holders with Vertexx Edge. How well did the holes line up? We haven't decided yet on making the switch, but boot integrity might factor into the decision to switch or not. Did they have to drill much? Just eyeballing the two holders they seem to line up pretty nicely. Going from 10s to 10s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urabus33 Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 On my player skates i went from step 296 to LS edge 288 and it was dead on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted March 28, 2019 Author Share Posted March 28, 2019 Thanks @Urabus33 The lack of "premium" blades for the step holder is a bit of a bummer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puckstopper Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 I've done it. Going from a 9 Step to a 9 Vertexx did require some drilling, but my boss at the shop I work at is a virtuoso, so things came out fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted February 17, 2020 Author Share Posted February 17, 2020 I'm going from memory, but I think the guys at the shop said they had to drill 1 more hole on each skate to make it work. Maybe it was more than one, but it wasn't a lot. Just one tip though. Make sure you check your rivets every couple of months. We had to get about 14 replaced after about 6 month. That boot is stiff so its hard on them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you find a big difference in height between both holders/runners? Didi you go custom on the boot or the GM off the shelf one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
