I saw PSH having a sale on skates this weekend and a pair of True Customs caught my eye. They appear to be my size and width, but I'm not sure if I should pull the trigger.
I have several pairs of Makos, at this point, and they're all obviously not at all new anymore. I guess I'm wondering if updating them will be much of a noticeable improvement? Thee's actually a couple questions I was wrestling with....
- Has anybody made the switch from Makos to a more modern skate, possibly even a True? Was the performance noticeably better?
- Also, the boots on PSH don't have holders. I do, already, have a set of new CSX (Mako) holders and runners. Would it be stupid to install them? Should I get newer, more modern holders?
- Lastly, these are custom skates - but not custom to me. Stock Makos of the same size fit great, but who knows with these. My question is, are Trues at all anywhere near as heat moldable as Makos?
Sorry for so many (possibly dumb) questions. It's just been a long time since I bought skates and, while they're still pretty expensive, these are by far the cheapest top end skates I have access to.
Thanks, in advance, for anyone's help on this.
