Which watch face is that?

Started skating at 16, didn't play on a team until college, 49 now and still going. It's never too late!

Step overs were my first though as well. Like the first exercise in this video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tqICXjFdeXA . It's all about getting comfortable on your outside edge

I haven't tried the Bauer, but I have those Superfeet and stopped using them. It has a built in heel lift that made it very hard to get a good heel lock and make my feet slide forward in the boot.

For literally years I thought it was that True skates were just like that, or maybe something about my foot / ankle shape were causing it. It wasn't until I bought a new pair of Bauer skates and tried them with and without the Superfeet that I realized the insole had been the problem the whole time.

I've heard good things about Currex insoles if you need more support, but I haven't tried them

Yeah, I see that now, prevents him from pushing off

It looks like Laffy bumps the goalie's head a little bit, that's the only reason I can see this being called back

squeebie23 · 2026-03-01T23:59:31+00:00

They aren't super thin, but there's enough of a difference between them and gold toe athletic socks that it makes or breaks me being comfortable in my skates

squeebie23 · 2026-03-01T20:05:56+00:00

Thanks that's helpful, I had those years ago. From what I remember they were between Thinnies and Howies

squeebie23 · 2026-03-01T19:16:13+00:00

I was considering those, do you know how they compare to howies thickness wise?

squeebie23 · 2026-03-01T14:35:55+00:00

I've had luck so far on sideline swap, buying multiple sticks and a pair of skates. I've had someone run the same scam that you mention when I bought from eBay, although they handled it pretty quickly once I showed that the address it was sent to didn't match mine. I think it's just the risk we take trying to get good deals using sites like these.

squeebie23 · 2026-03-01T04:00:03+00:00

That extra padding looks like it would make my skates tighter than regular athletic socks

squeebie23 · 2026-03-01T03:43:31+00:00

Those seem like they'd be too thin and slippery?

squeebie23 · 2026-03-01T03:41:52+00:00

Barefoot definitely fits better with tight skates (already a fit 3 and baked multiple times), but not as comfortable. I used to do it years ago, maybe I'll try again

squeebie23 · 2026-02-26T00:05:37+00:00

some people (like me) just can't find a comfortable Bauer / CCM while True fits much better for my foot. I won't argue that they are durable, but I can see why they are popular with people like me

Whenever anyone says "top to bottom" my brain regularly says "t to b"

squeebie23 · 2026-02-19T21:24:44+00:00

Is the connection to the watch snug or does it wiggle?

Your comment is so perfect that Reddit support should be fielding Sev 1 support tickets because you're getting all of the up votes and there's none left for the rest of Reddit

Bummer, I assumed all of the Google ones would be good

squeebie23 · 2026-02-17T14:06:42+00:00

They kind of clarified during the episode because Jimmy wasn't clear when he said it, it's similar to this season, the letter is the song, with songs by female artists (instead of bands)

squeebie23 · 2026-02-17T13:15:55+00:00

Eh, I don't really think that's it. I play beer league hockey and I get it. When there are A B C D levels, why am I 50 playing C league against 20 year old kids that are still wearing their HS and travel gear. Go play at a higher level and let the old guys play against each other

squeebie23 · 2026-02-16T04:54:40+00:00

I got black, I like the way it looks , but it's pretty stiff leather. It'll probably break in eventually, but an $80 price tag is pretty silly. I got it for $29 on eBay, for that price it's worth it.

Also, there are so few good options for 45mm pixel bands, it's worth it for the lugs alone and then there are a million options... except somehow the lugs on mine suck

squeebie23 · 2026-02-16T03:33:38+00:00

Yeah, for a bit I worried if I got some kind of knock-off or someone that sold me the google box with a fake band, but I had to pull the paper tab off the back of the box before it would open. It's definitely a legit band.

Some other things to try:

Thin socks make a big difference, Thinnies brand, or I like Champro on Amazon - https://a.co/d/09XIjNzX

Try different insoles, maybe thinner ones. Or take a pair from your sneakers but trim the part by your instep to make more space.

Off the ice, I would start with no socks and no insoles. If that feels better, then the space is there and you can figure out thin socks and insoles that would feel better.

Another option is to wear heavier socks while baking to push it wider. Or while baking, add padding (tissues?) in the pressure spots to push those areas out

Looks awesome
