The Future of Skate Fitting: TRUE/VH Custom Hockey Skates

posted by Sports ETC

Holding a bachelor’s of Science Degree and Masters in Biomechanics from the University of Calgary, former Canadian National team speed skater Scott Van Horne (VH) is the brain behind the new TRUE Pro Custom hockey and goalie skate. The monocoque skate design creates a skate that fits like a second skin on your foot, with no wasted space within the boot. Everything about these skates is unique. From being the first, truly 100% custom built for YOUR feet skates to each pair being handcrafted in Canada. The custom True/VH Skates come in both player and goalie options:

Patented TRUE MonoForm, monocoque design yields more direct power transfer and unmatched control while in stride or using your edges.
Built from the inside out using a custom 3D foot last shaped to the individual skater’s foot, the thermoformed boot locks in the foot, eliminating loss of energy and producing unrivaled power, comfort, and control. A truly pain-free skating experience for anyone with foot issues.
The patented TRUE tendon guard provides optimized flexibility and stability in every stride for a more direct and fluid power transfer.
The strategically placed eyelets unlock an optimized knee-forward position, facilitating natural and more direct energy transfer and maximum power in every stride.
The antimicrobial and hydrophobic liner wicks moisture to the venting holes to keep the feet dry and comfortable.
Averaging 18 seconds per holder, BenchChange technology allows for fast blade replacement via TRUE’s magnetized blade change tool provided with each pair of skates.
Made in Canada with only the finest raw materials, the best-in-class StepSteel blade carves through the ice with precision and power.

Lightweight, Forward Pitch, Taller Attack Angle
With greater clearance from the ice, achieve an optimized attack angle, deeper stance, and maintained edges before committing to a shooter.
Formed with the monocoque shell, the patented TRUE ToeCap provides superior comfort and unrivaled protection.
Strategically placed eyelets put goalies in the deepest attack position, facilitating natural and more direct energy transfer when moving laterally.

Zero Energy Loss, Neutral Pitch, Lower Attack Angle
Strategically placed eyelets put goalies in the deepest attack position, facilitating natural and more direct energy transfer when moving laterally.
Formed with the monocoque shell, the patented TRUE ToeCap provides superior comfort and unrivaled protection.
One piece molded design leads to zero loss of energy and responsive power transfer allowing goalies to get across the crease faster. The lower profile also assists with maintaining edges before committing to the shooter.
Without a traditional cowling the boot allows for a lower position to the ice for heightened feel, maximum control, and improved attack angle.
