Super happy that you finally got new skates! I haven’t found skates I liked since the RBK pump so I’m going to try custom CCM.. once I have the cash that is 😂
Trav usually the bauer bump is on the back of your foot and the correct medical term for it is Haglund’s Deformity, but yes its a real thing. more then likely the pain on the sides is from the boot being so still vs your old soft skate
Trav the skates look good!, that's cool getting your name on them.. too bad you couldn't log a few more hours of ice time in them before you left.. hope they work well for you.
I have the Vapors and so does my son. He loves his and we are both cowlingless. This is my first time without them and it is not the feeling I enjoy. I’ve always been Graf for my skates and my feet just cannot handle them anymore. The Vapors are way more comfortable but even with baking they don’t have the conformity that Graf had after baking. Overall, these are minor issues and my feet can take a lot of punishment, so I have no complaints other than, I miss my cowlings. Attack angle is so much better but the shots off the top caps (same vibration issue) aren’t. Would I recommend the Vapors? Yes, I would. Overall, it is a good skate and the price point for those of us who are budget conscious, they will do what you need and more. As I said, my 10 year old loves them, loves cowlingless skates and loves to skate circles around me in them.
Ive had foot pain with my 1s for 2 years now. What halped with the side pain was i got stable 26 socks with the pad on the the inside and outside of the ankle which relieved that pain
I’ve had 2 pairs of brand new skates in the last 4 years (both ccm) and the first 4-8 skates were absolutely miserable. I had blisters in the same areas you described. It does get a lot better. My recommendation is mole skin that you can put on before you skate and you can get it at any pharmacy.
Nice skate review video. I have CCM Jetspeed player skates and they took awhile to break in. But, I get pain in my right foot when I'm walking from the locker room to the ice, or standing around. But once I get skating, the pain goes away. I've had them for over two years and they are still like that.
Sup trav hows your day going and do you think you can play your games in Sweden with the GoPro set up in the back of the net. I really do miss those junior hockey vlogs but your videos have been really solid lately
That is definitely Bauer bump. My Bauer’s did the same thing to me on the side of my small toes. It got worst when I was on the ice everyday Had to put memory foam inside my socks and I wouldn’t tie the bottom of my skate only the top. Did this for a couple months then I was fine.
Nice. Those be some good looking skates. But I'm surprised you let them sharpen your skates. Thought you'd slap them right onto the Sparx when you got home.
Ah hearing that your heading off in the next few days so excited for you man!!!! Stoked for you and the future of yourself... please please please use your time in Europe reach out to clubs in the U.K. England elite league and English premier league you’d be looking at paid hockey here 1000% and I’d love to help you I can put you in contact with some people if necessary...
my supreme 2spro's have those same pinch points on the side, just got the punched out at my local source for sports but until i did that they never fully felt comfortable even after like 10 skates,. not sure if that'll work on goalie skates but it worked for me.
I had that same pain back in the day with my One100's! I see not much has really changed with Bauer, in terms of comfort. Also the 3mm blade on mine got bent from a shot. All these newer aged composite goalie skates are mostly overpriced garbage. Bauer 3000's & 7000's(both back in the day), Graf's(all) and Vaughn GX2's, are the only comfortable and durable skates that have been made over the years. Most of the manufacturers have terribly alienated comfort for cramping your foot into a boot for aerodynamics. Too much of the equipment is making the goalie better, which diminishes how the skill and art of goaltending originated.
@@Travis_Ridgen For me my right foot is slightly shorter than my left foot. I have had cramping pains even after having thicker insoles and padded socks. Strangely I gave Vaughn skates a try with GX1's. Basically the Vaughn's are Graf goalie skates, as they were purchased by Vaughn. The leaning forward of the boot, wider front but flatness of the toe area, plus a thicker foot bed, have really helped not having anymore cramp pains. I also disregarded using skate laces and went with Velcro fastener straps instead(yes weird, but very effective for me). Of course most goalies today probably wouldn't try Vaughn skates because they are not advanced for VH/Reverse VH technique and they are heavier than the other brands.
Trav I have the 2x pro goal skate and the screws that my pro laces have have worn down the toe cap to an almost brutal level, do you know where I can go or who I can email about just getting a cowling Fit to or the toe of a cowling fit to my skate
Why’s you shave the inside cowling? Also I went from cowling to cowlingless and it was a learning curve but it’s so hard to get cowlings unless like you it’s custom
More attack angle and can work my edges better. Thank you very much brother. I do new videos every Monday Wednesday Friday at 9am eastern so hope to see you for todays new video :)
As a Bauer skate user, their skates are ALWAYS a pain in the foot to break in. I think it took me 7-10 ice sessions to really feel comfortable in them. First few skates with them were painful.
Nice wheels, but you should have told Bauer to not drill holes and attach holders because now you have two sets of holes for the cowlings and the integrity of the boot will be diminished in the long term
Personally not a fan of the new style look like player skates more. Glad you could incorporate the cowlings. PS. Guy St Vincent guy looking pretty fly in net.

Looking great in those Bauer skates! My feet can ride in almost any footwear, but when it comes to skates, it's nothing but Bauer for me. Enjoy them.

Damn. About time you get new wheels.

Guy needs to throw out a review on his setup.
I will try to peer pressure him into starting a vlog
Great video great info on the cowling to be fitted on a one piece boot Travis. I’m gonna try that on my one ccm tacks 3
Hope you make it work bro!
trav4oilers thanks bro I’m sure it will work
I’ve had 2 pairs of brand new skates in the last 4 years (both ccm) and the first 4-8 skates were absolutely miserable. I had blisters in the same areas you described. It does get a lot better. My recommendation is mole skin that you can put on before you skate and you can get it at any pharmacy.
Mole skin? lol
trav4oilers it’s like a sticky piece of padding that you put on your feet to prevent blisters 😂😂 just realized how that might sound a bit strange
Great vid trav!

Might be a bauer skate problem
What do you think of the ultrasonic glove? I heard it has a different angle. Also your skates are double the price of all my gear
That's because he is a pro.
Skates are pro, that's why. Ultrasonic glove is nice
Hey Trav love the vids man, Whose game do you model your game after in the NHL? And who’s your favourite NHL team? Keep up the great work!
Easily Hellebuyck

Look at Maria mountains video on rolling out your feet with a lacrosse ball, helps with skate pain a lot!
