Dave Posted January 4, 2022 Posted January 4, 2022 Good day, What are you guys thoughts about Step Steel Fat Goalie Runners??
ZeroGravitas Posted January 4, 2022 Posted January 4, 2022 The Step Steel Fat goalie runners are only for the older True 2-piece holder, pictured below. These runners are narrower (3mm) where it installs into the holder and wider where it contacts the ice (4mm). Newer holders that come on the currently produced True custom and stock TF9/TF7 have the holder below, which requires different steel. The Step Steel Fat that I linked above will not fit in this holder. There is a 3mm runner and 4mm runner(similar to the Step Steel Fat). However, neither are manufactured by Step Steel. \ Thought this might be important as you mentioned you were looking at a stock True skate - I'm assuming the TF9.
CJ Boiss Posted January 4, 2022 Posted January 4, 2022 On the topic of Step Steel, my understanding is that the brand has since been binned after being bought out by CCM. The blades are now being marketed as JRZ Pro Steel, and JRZ is manufacturing them in Canada, with Canadian steel. Blades with the black coating (whatever Step Blacksteel were) should be available in the next few months.

I'm looking at the 2022 CCM catalog and there's a "STEP Created for CCM" logo plastered on a couple pages.

I go to him for all my goalie skate stuff. I actually got my JRZ blades last night (originally ordered back in early August, it was a bit of a saga), had them installed and played a game with them. Phenomenal performance.

I called and one guy had no clue about these runners. I bought the blades for my AS1s; I think they use the "Attack Profile" cowling? I don't know if you'll be able to find this steel for True runners, given CCM bought Step.

I have Step fat blades for my CCM XSG holders.
