I tried on a pair of Hzrdus 9x skates and I needed to get the half-size up. The size that *should* fit my foot (foot length is 25.0cm), should be a size 6, 25.1cm. When I tried them on, my toes *just* grazed the front of the toebox (which I'm told, at least for other skates, is the correct size). However, it ended up not feeling right, because the hzrdus shell has a raised lip all the way around the bottom of the footbed. If your toes are too close to the edge of the toe-cap, they end up resting/pressing on the raised areas and it's pretty uncomfortable. The slightly larger 6.5's (25.5cm) fit much better because my toes sit within the raised lip areas in the toebox and footbed.
Correct, or so we are told. We do a number of True Customs(Pro and SVH) and we have not seen anything come in in the last week to give a roller change update. We assume everything going forward from tomorrow will 100% be the new material
Any fit differences between the new HZRDUS vs the Catalysts? I know that the Cats felt like it had way more range of motion vs the TFs, but not sure if the HZRDUS are closer to the Cats or TFs when you lace em up. Curious if the only differences are flex profile and / or fit since they both have Neurofit+. Had to pinch my Catalyst heel while baking but would buy a pair of HZRDUS to if it feels mostly the same plus better heel lock.
I found my cat 9s to be more comfortable than the svh customs I ordered. The svh pinch my arch’s and one foot my big toe rubs on the side of the toe cap and it hurts pretty bad. So was thinking of ordering a pair of hzdrus 9x thinking they would fit more like the cats.
Have you heard anything about the durability of the carbon being improved? My TF9s heel cracked and my Cat Pros have a crack starting. Frustrating as I otherwise love the skates
They have improved the carbon, we are told, on this generation of skate. It is closer to that of the SVH. That said, we will have to wait and see how the first few weeks go with them. That kind of wear shoes pretty quickly. Long before actual cracking in the carbon.
Hey. So I was out of town and stopped at another place to try on the 9x. I found the 8 regular was great for my narrow heel, mid instep and forefoot and seemed to be the perfect length. But, my foot wouldn’t lay flat at the toe cap. Best I can describe is that my large and small toe sat on top of the sides of the toe cap. I’ve never experienced this before. Do these have a really narrow toe box or is something else happening? (For context I even tried a longer skate but, same issue)
