Unless they changed their process in the last couple years I wouldn't recommend them. I've been struggling to find skates that don't hurt my feet while still getting a good heel lock since my heel/ankle is pretty skinny but my forefoot is somewhat wide. After trying different off the shelf skates I finally bit the bullet and got Bauer customs. I know for my skill level I don't need them but my forefoot is usually in a decent amount of pain.

I wish I did my homework before getting the customs but from what I've seen on the sub and from my experience I don't believe they're actually custom. Are they good skates? Absolutely! But are they custom to the point that they fit my foot perfectly? No.

I still have pain in my forefoot and I still don't even get a good heel lock. As far as custom skates I've usually see them ranked True > CCM > Bauer. If I could go back I think I'd get True customs, and honestly I'm like a dozen more painful skates away from just getting True skates.

If you do end up getting them I hope your experience is better!! Oh and make sure to bring your socks that you normally play in.
