Does anyone know if the Hyperlite 2 pads will have the “Balance Plate” or calf pillow that Hyperlite 1 has? 
 

There seem to be some slight differences in terms of specs compared to Hyperlite 1 like the change of toe bridge alignment going from offset to centered being the stock option. Any other notable changes?

Speedplates form to the bottom of your feet right?  I'm not sure you're getting sufficient arch support from that.  See the article below I snipped and linked. 

Superfeet and the new CCM OrthoMove have much stronger arch support.  Also, I believe @TheGoalNet has a quotable from Bauer stating Speedplates weren't meant to be used in a goalie skate

Can't speak to the flat feel of True skates as up until 2 weeks ago I was skating on Superfeet for about two years?

I tried the 1st gen orthomoves again since I already have them from a while ago. The arch support felt a little strange but they did address my forefoot pain that I experienced on the speed plates. I used the low, med and high arch support options. Are there any significant advantages that the Superfeet Carbons have over the orthomoves comfort or performance wise? I also saw Ingoal media's video mention that Superfeet black work on goalie skates too.

Could be an arch/foot issue.  Have you tried aftermarket insoles?

I'm in custom orthotics now, but @SaveByRichter35's skate guy used to be EQM for NYI.  IIRC he told me most of his guys that weren't in a custom orthotic were in Superfeet. 

This is the one you want, don't get the comfort.

Sorry for not getting back sooner. I have tried aftermarket insoles. I know I'm in unpopular territory when I say this, but I currently use SpeedPlate 2.0's. I like them because they work for my flat arches.

Something else I noticed but really feel it now, can anyone else confirm that true skates feel flat on the bottoms of your feet too? Or is this just me?

Thanks

Hi all,

Wanted to give an update and thank everyone who replied. I was able to give some of the suggestions a try this past week.
 

I noticed when leaving the top eyelet open and keeping the forefoot area somewhat loose, it makes my feet feel very flat footed and actually increases the burning feel.

Is this just getting used to the new tying method or is there something else I need to change?

Thanks

Would anyone be able to give some of their suggestions on how they tie their goalie skates? Generally I've tried to tie mine as tight as possible in the majority of the eyelets because I tend to like the responsiveness and the ankle support that the boot provides. The issue is after I start to skate, the bottoms of my feet have this burning sensation like when breaking in brand new skates. 

In other words, which areas should be tight and which ones should be loose while still providing response and ankle support?

Thanks
