Wear flexlites/ nexus for Bauer. Or order a EEE but there is no way Bauer is letting you into their warehouse to make a foot mold and make a fully custom pair
Money can solve a lot of things eh?
but really I know a few years ago there was a 100 dollar up charge for custom skates..

My upcharge quote for Bauers was 200
My upcharge quote for Grafs was $$$$ because you can customize a lot more including color. You can also customize the 7 series so their upcharges vary and could be cheaper.
Every fitter is different and can give you a different quote. No mold necessary!

who and where did you get quoted?You guys are wrong about customs. I'm getting fitted tomorrow and its more than a proper width or length, it involves the amount of padding, type of tongue, toe cap, vamping, eyelets, etc.... I think you have to know an experienced custom skate fitter or a skate rep. The upcharges vary by company.

X-axis no we are not wrong we are talking about somethig different getting "fitted" and getting a mild made and a skate made around that are completely different. I can get a Bauer skate completely "fitted" to me just as you described for less than a retail pair of skates....do I have no idea why you're paying an up charge
