johncho Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 (edited) I'm looking for feedback on TF7/TF9. Especially from users with thin ankles/shins on how well the top of the skates wraps or provides support? Edited March 27 by johncho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johncho Posted March 27 Author Share Posted March 27 I'm going in next week to my LHS to get fitted possibly. So I guess I'll report back with my own findings. They said they were low on stock with limited sizes available on hand, but could order more if needed within a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WONGER Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 I’ve been in TF9s for a while now, they’re honestly more comfortable than the VH Customs I had a while back. I wish I went for a half size smaller since my ankle bone doesn’t quite line up but they’re the most comfortable skate I’ve ever had. I do wish the holder had somewhere for a heel strap like the Bauers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will ask if this is possible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoalieInTheDesertYT Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 I read that they run big, is this true? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard this too, and when I used the scanner it showed me in a size smaller. However when I went to get sized they were congruent with my Bauer sizing but that could also be because I’m in the wrong size for my Bauers.

I’m fine for skates just now, but might be a good tip for me to store for later, if you’ve found a place you’re happy with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s restored and fixed my player TRUEs and saved them. He’s fantastic to work with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johncho Posted April 17 Author Share Posted April 17 (edited) IMG_2667.MOV Got fitted, and now I have to wait until Wednesday for my game. I’m looking forward to it. Trying it on today I feel two issues: - My toes feel a bit cramped due to the footbed being a bit wide and overlapping up the side of the inner toe box. - I usually have a pain spot on both my navicular on most skates, it’s better on the TF9s but I still feel a bit of discomfort on the left skate. The first issue seems easy enough to solve. I’ll try to trim the footbed a little to make it fit better. I tried using my old Grafs that fit my previous Bauer skates and it confirmed that my old Bauers were at least half a size too big. I’ll try the older footbed first in case I mess up. Second issue is a bit more tricky, but the right side feeling good makes me hopeful. I will play a game and see if the pain subsides. If not I’ll bring it back to have it addressed.

johncho Posted April 20 Author Share Posted April 20 I got a game in, and I am extremely happy with these. There's still one lingering pressure point, but it's so minor that I feel like it will work itself out. I still have to fiddle with the footbed a bit as they need adjusting. It is very comfortable which came in handy because we got an unexpected 30min extra ice time and in my previous skate I would have been in pain. These feel very light, and I am able to angle the skates in a predictable manner (there's a cutout in the back covered by a comfortable stretchy material). All in all I am super happy and willing to answer any questions about them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
