Big2 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 TGN my son has custom foot soles for his regular shoes we never tried them in his skates, I agree that some form of custom sole would be a plus for both comfort and performance in skates. He does however have the after market soles from super feet, not sure what value they add but he is used to having them in his skates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big2 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Hills this is very interesting - do you go directly to the Mfg or still have to thru a store to get these? Plus both of these facilities are within an hour from my home! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sols brand is all 3D printed. The technology is really cool and within a few years, someone has to incorporate these into skates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big2 Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 TGN the insoles came from a paediatrician and we never really tried them in his skates even though we had planned to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sols stuff is designed for sneakers. My point is that the technology exists and it'd be a layup to incorporate it in to skates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunnyman666 Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 I am surprised that the foot bed does not get moulded in the VH skates. I may put in a new footbed and hopefully that does not require baking as my skates smell quite ripe thanks to the fact that I don't wear socks. I don't want that smell going through the house as Mrs. bunnyman would go ballistic (and I can't blame her). But now it makes sense why VH isn't keen on plaster foot moulds.

Big2 Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Agree 100% this component of the skate should be part of a custom product! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the stock foot bed has aged, I feel more foot pain in these. Still nothing like my last pair of Vaughn skates that caused me to duck out the last half hour of the drop in, but hurt, none the less! Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I hope to hell I don't have to rebake them to allow for the new insoles, as I am certain a funk would go all over the house from the oven.

sebastiancp1 Posted November 10, 2017 Author Share Posted November 10, 2017 Just wanted to post a quick follow up ... I've been using them about once a week and I still can't say enough positive things about these skates. No issue with durabilty, the steel is holding a sharpening very well, and I still can't get over how much these help with performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
