    Spot on with the Genetx insole. True sent me the 9x4 as a warranty replacement for my cracked heel taking a clearing shot while reffing. After reffing 6 games straight I noticed the balls of my feet starting to hurt, I did 6 games with these and not a single issue. And like you said, the baking and forming around your feet is spot on.

    Question: Here in Canada, it is only $100 more for the full custom order skates. Is there a case to be made for getting these over customs, or is the custom route an easy choice if you don’t mind an extra $100???

      True has a Source for Sports exclusive called Catalyst Arc. It's essentially this skate with some small things left put for only $649. They're insanely good value. Even have the Clarino liner.

    I'm interested in these but no one around me carries them yet. I'm currently in a Nexus 7.5D which fits great except for a sloppy heel. Bauer scan has me at a 7.5 Fit 3. The True foot scan app has me at a 7.5R, however I had a pair of TF7s in a wide and they were too narrow in the forefoot. Would this boot fit similar in width to the TF series?

    My understanding is that they changed the naming this year so 7x4 is actually the equivalent to the catalyst 9s. I love my Cat 9s but i have swapped to Bauer holders and bauer speed plates. That has made them perfect.
    They are hands down the best skate i've used in terms of comfort. I had Bauer 3x pros prior and they fell apart in less than 6 months.
    I bought a second pair from hockey monkey when they went on clearance and my kids and Wife are now in True skates too.

    Ok so I recently went from old Tacks to a 2nd hand pair of Vapors (couldn't afford anything else at the time and it's just a stop gap). I am prefering the Vapors, think I skate better in them. So my conclusion from that is an agility skate is probably more complementary to my skating style. I've like the True stuff for a while but don't have a dealer near me which means I need to get online. So my question is: How accurate is their phone app for sizing? If anyone has a pair of skates that fit nicely would you be willing to try the app to get the app's sizing a let me know how accurate it is? Thanks.

      @@canucksfan9332 so I have thin, wide feet with high, long arches. The insoles in the 9x4 were fine, but they're not long enough through the arch for me so I got some pressure mid-foot. It *might* be fine for you. It wasn't painful and I probably would've accepted it if I didn't already know how well the right insoles could fit. If it's easy for you to get replacements then I'd suggest trying the stock ones first. If you have to order from True and wait for shipping, I'd order the high-arch version. Side note, I have the OG Catalysts and a pair of HZRDUS. These new 9x4 are amazing skates.
