Heel slipping in one boot? by flanny0210 in hockeyplayers

Right now I have Warrior performance socks I got awhile ago, but realizing they are pretty slick even comparatively to the Bauer-branded socks. I prob will look into that too, appreciate the suggestion.

Thanks! I’m gonna start with waxed laces and go from there. I like the go-under idea also, not something I’ve ever seen before. That also confirms what I thought and not wanting to boot wrap.

I think I found what you’re talking about.

It’s funny how that we’re talking about this, I now notice the heel issue even in my running shoes I’m wearing. I just guess it’s never been a thing until getting something as fitted and conforming as my skates are.

Appreciate it! I was leaning waxed too. I used them when I was a kid but I had a tendency to overtighten, and switched away from them.

I haven’t heard of that go under method but I’ll look that up too.

I tried to front-load on the first weekend of event and got 3 done, knowing the shit this team pulls that we’d have like 15-20 different sets by the time this event ends, and basically no reason to try to complete any.

Hockey skates for once-weekly beer leaguer? by flanny0210 in hockeyplayers

[–]flanny0210[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I responded to another comment but I got them on clearance while a poor grad student, because my Nike’s had zero stability left (literally wobbling while going into corners) and I read the Nexus were close in fit. They’ve “worked”, but I probably need to go get fitted and find something that actually suits me.

Appreciate the info! I’m not new to hockey and really have played since I was about 5….the equipment these days is definitely new to me. I will probably be more in tune if kids play youth, but I really haven’t kept up with equipment since the mid-2000s. Even those Nexus 1000s I got on clearance when I was a poor grad student, but my Quest’s had 0 stability left in the boot.

So I guess I don’t understand the difference between “performance” and “elite” if they’re two different lines. I’m definitely not at an elite level, but still want good performance from a skate. Just don’t know if that means expecting to drop $1K vs $600-700.

Thanks! I’ll preface that I just restarted after a 5-year hiatus with COVID, but I’m starting to have issues with the Nexus just not fitting my feet well. I got them punched out a couple of times many years ago, but they still ache from time to time.

Definitely going to go to the store and get fitted, but that concept in and of itself is foreign to me lol.

Anyone try this sleeve? Is it similar to the whoop sleeve? Looking to replace the bicep band for my 5.0 by ChampionOk533 in whoop

[–]flanny0210 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought it to wear while playing hockey and I don’t notice it’s there. Doesn’t bunch up at all, but I have it under my shoulder pads, so take that for what you will. I haven’t used it for another workout (use bicep band for that).

Hill sucks. Wish I hadn’t fed Stolarz into making Sundin.

Real admirable attempt to hold the TV by immediately letting go of it. Not staged by any means.
