I've been using these tongues for the last 3 or so years. They're felt, but have a plastic piece to help prevent lace bite. Have not had any issues with them on any of the True skates I've put them in

I use that t-guard felt tongue too, haven't had any issues in the 4 years I've used them on my skates. Part of the leather (pleather?) is starting to rip, but it just seems cosmetic. I think if I got a new pair, I'd go with the same tongue. The new thin tongue they use just seems weird and uncomfortable compared to the felt.

 

Yeah this was my thought too. But I'm hearing that the new Bauer steel is actually on par with Step, and it seems like majority of people like those holder vs the XS, I'm just not sure why or what I'd even get out of it vs others. I also just kind of like to tinker and try new things.

I wasn't asking if you had issues or not.  I was saying that I do not like the true tongues compared to the ones I had.
