As a right arm amputee( play with a prosthetic hook and lots of duct tape) tying up is something someone else has had to do for me. I greatly appreciate you showing these new brands for people they may actually be useful to! Thank you
Honestly I am a sucker for tying my skates. I always love getting a fresh pair of waxed laces, putting them on and using them. I could definitely see why these would be useful, very innovative and interesting product. I’m excited to see the development these are going to have over the years!
I think it’s quite comical how long it’s taken the hockey industry to implement these. I’ve been wanting them for years on my skates. I’ve had the Boa system on so many different shoes and boots going back at least 12-15 years so I’m happy they’re finally starting to get this “new” system on skates ha
You say that like most people don’t apply different pressures at different parts of their boot as they tighten the laces. I don’t tie the top eyelet for maximum ankle flexion, these don’t account for that stuff
I have had BOA laces (similar design with a steel cable lace) in golf shoes for years, looks very similar and other companies have copied the design (Puma has Disc thats the same thing), I have been waiting for them to come out in hockey skates, this seems like a pretty cool alternative since you can retro fit them and hope they come out with them in normal hockey skates. The real benefit along with getting skates on and off faster is that it pulls the tension even, and with small clicks you can really get the perfect fit. I might have to try these on my skates until someone comes out with BOA on hockey skates. (I have seen them on recreational skates just not on hockey FYI).
Now I’m very interested! Since there are days where I ref and play, being able to get skates on and off quickly would be a big help! I think I’ll wait until I see them on ice though. Also, would putting a piece of stick tape or even clear tape around the eyelet edge prevent it from eating through the material around the eyelet? Thanks for letting us know about this product!
This tech has been around on various foot wear for decades, it's just not common in the least. It was even on two or three different skates in the late 90's and early 2000's. But, very few people even know about it and making a video specifically about this tech will bring more attention to it which might make it catch on like I think it should have long ago.
I kind of doubt Bauer's and CCM's $50m funded R&D labs haven't explored this technology. I think Jeremy raised a valid concern that the knob can break mid game and loosen the skate. Also there's concern that it will eat through the eyelets faster if you skate often and aggressively. Maybe if you do a titanium knob and coating for eyelets this can be done on a pro level. But what do I know? =) However, I am definitely surprised that it is not used for entry and recreational level skates.
Like tons of comments have already said, BOA has been around for so long and I am sure they could create something for skates. This is nice that you can just basically install it yourself. BOA usually has a lifetime warranty too. My friends BOA on his bike shoes broke in an area that wasnt fixable, so BOA is buying the new model of the shoe coming out this year and sending it to him.
My K2 inline skates have BOA. I'm not really a fan as the boot is equally tight throughout the foot. I prefer a little wiggle room near the ball of the foot with my ankle locked in. BOA does not allow for that. Plus, there's no way BOA or these will hold up well to some slashes/pucks to the boot. For these to work for ice hockey and probably roller, there would need to be some sort of flap that protects the apparatus.
my son had a pair of CCM skates around 2005-2006 (I believe he was a squirt AA player at the time) that were made with the boa system, with built in rails for the wire lace and a Boa twist reel on the rear. he loved the ease of tightening and removing his skates, and would've kept wearing them, but I could not find a pair his size when it was time to get a larger skate. the only "problem" he had, was that he would have to tighten them one last time after a couple laps in warm-up, but that was likely due to his strength at that age, and his liking his skates extremely tight. he never had a failure in cable or gearing, and I was surprised that they never took hold in the market.
I JUST got a pair of recreational ice skates and paid a premium to get the 'BOA' version. The thought of salvaging the BOA should I ever get other skates already crossed my mind, since very few skates come equipped with them. Great to see there's an official retro fit solution available!
This is an extremely common lacing system for snowboard boots, it's called the boa system been around for decades. Roller-skates use roughly the same housing as snowboard boots do so it makes sense it would easily switch over.
Very Cool! I've been looking for this type of fastest lace system for my kid for some time... and I'm surprised that CCM, Bauer have not released this yet..Thanks for posting this 👍
Interesting product though I like being able to vary the tightness of different sections like you can with laces. Back in the day, 3 strap buckle systems were pretty common with rollerblades. Those were pretty quick and effective. Makes me wonder why they shifted away from that. The closest thing I could find similar to that is Option B straps. Velcro straps (3 per skate) each install through a lace hole held using screw and nut with a roller bar on the opposite lace hole (again, screw and nut) for the strap to cinch down. Really wanted them to work because laces are so tedious, but the nut unfortunately was too big to fit through the lace grommets on my skate.
So I just put option B's on my ice skates, I put 5 instead of the recommended 3 on each skate, held up great during my first game of adult rookie league and a stick time session this week working on crossovers, stops etc. Held snug the entire time.
I think you should test how easy it is with winter gloves on! I don't live on a cold enough climate for pond hockey, but I imagine being able to tighten your skates with the gloves on would be super clutch.
Is there a semi auto version where I lace most the way but fine adjusting for top end ankle support for training strengthening? Or a simple top 2 eyelet adapter buckle
@@usernaames it all depends on the angle of the shot/slash and the speed of both. After numerous tests for in game and off ice direct contacts, we’ve noticed it holds up pretty well. The dial will not shatter, but it can damage the internal dial system if hit hard at an angle or with a high velocity shot/slash. It is primarily used right now by kids and teenagers where the Aforementioned problems won’t occur as much - but we have plenty of happy adult customers as well.
Would love to know how they’re working out after all this time or if you use them regularly. I have a nine-year-old that’s in Hockey Academy and he’s struggling to get his skates tightened every day.
Have double Boa Snowboard boots and they are great! I wish I could find a good pair of hockey skates with it already built in as I have bad fingers which makes tying my skates tight difficult as well as bad circulation in my feet and being able to loosen like this in between shifts would be amazing! Did these work on the ice?
def wanna see a durability update on both the mechanism and how much they effect your eyelets. I would love these on my off skates to use during training and such
Been using boa systems on cycling shoes for atleast the last 10 years and usualy have a lifetime warranty(not sure if this one is a genuine boa) was only thinking on tuesday how nice it would be and now i see this 👍
Hey Jeremy, I've been wanting to buy Marsblades but don't know how they fit. True to size? Smaller? Larger? I wear 7.5 D in Bauer Nexus 1000. I hear that they fit about a half size small.
Marsblades aren't as high volume skates as bauer nexus skates. You'd better keep your bauers and get the runners swapped to marsblades at some pro shops!
Friend had these for ice skates. First shift out the popped open, instant loose skate, had to come off. *Queue continual opening* Took them off and had laces the next game. 🤷🏻♂️ I won't be putting them in mine.

They’d be fine for what you’re doing but you’d be asking for trouble relying on that in a game. I always have extra laces on hand because of abrasions to the lace that happen during any given game. A skate cuts that thin thing and you’re done
Hi Paynan, In the video they don’t install the white stretchy hockey laces. These laces actually hold the foot in a lot better so it’s highly recommended you put on the laces. These laces also protect the wire from being sliced.
I wonder if it would stick to the lather tongue, of my aggressive Inline blades? Anyone else here happen to have a pair of USD Carbon Free Team boots? N this Twist Lace product on them?
Hi Tyrone, We designed the dial mount in such a way that it is flexible and curved exactly like a Pringle - allowing it to adhere well and shape well to any tongue. It is very sticky but also it will not leave a large residue on the tongue.
Hi Muse, We’ve done plenty of trauma tests to the dial with pucks and sticks. It holds up well. It may not withstand the velocity of a pro level slap shot, but this is meant for kids, Rec leagues, Etc.
Snowboarding boots, golf shoes , etc have this turn dial technology- but it is integrated into the boot pre sale. This after market product can be transferred from skate to skate fitting all sizes and ages
I did that with an R1 and fell a lot of the first few tries. You expect the rocker to change your turning radius by a lot like it would on ice, but the wheelbase remains flat so it's not as dramatic of a change compared to just rockering your wheels (smaller wheels for the front and back) on a standard chassis (which I feel like I can make tighter turns with).
@@mustang268 It's weird. I went into mars blades after about 8 months without rollerblading on my normal rollerblades and it was still weird.... it's possible that it was weird because I was expecting a rollerblade kinda feel though, it's tough to say. It's not exactly like ice skates though.
In all honesty though, rollerblade wheels just can't get the turning radius of skates because there's no edge to bite into the ice and hold. So, it's kinda like skating on super dull ice skates in any case since the wheels will inevitably slip.
@@AnHourOfWolves Have you tried just rockering the wheels? The shorter wheelbase makes it much easier to make tighter turns. It's not the same as an ice rocker but I like it better than standard flat wheels. I have to experiment more with the stock R1 but I'm probably going to rocker those wheels eventually.

Have you noticed extra stress on the metal eyelets of your skate? I'm thinking about installing these on my Marsblade inline skates.

How do you think they will do with chewed up metal eyelets? Will they survive the abrasion for long?
Depending on the price I might actually look into these! I’m in the market for new laces right now anyways (sorry Bauer, your laces are DOGWATER)
Do you recomend wax laces because i dont know if i should get them but when i tie my skates the ankle support isnt really good.
TwistLace offers great ankle support and you don’t lose your tightness as it locks in. With regular laces it’s tough to hold the tightness

Snowboarding boots, golf shoes , etc have this turn dial technology- but it is integrated into the boot pre sale. This after market product can be transferred from skate to skate fitting all sizes and ages
New?? If I’m not mistaken this was a thing 10+ years ago. Think it was called BOA.
Hi Travis,
Yes the dial tightening for footwear is not new. But this dial is of different mechanical engineering but more importantly our product is an after market , detachable system that can be transferred from skate to skate

Wow.... these have been on rental skates for years. This literally makes these skates look like bargain bin now..... Absolute trash.
This makes me miss my Reebok skates that I would just pump up mid game when they got loose
