Previous Feedback
Comments: They are great. The only stock skate I have had that fit my wide foot. Make sure to trace and measure your feet. They do run a little different from other brands, but that is what I like the most about them.
From: Josh, Butte, 11/24/20
Comments: First pair of skates I've had since I was in high school, so obviously not an expert. My kids are learning to skate so I decided to get a pair to skate with them. Didn't want to spend a ton but wanted something comfortable. Decided to give the TF7's a try. Very comfortable and no foot pain so no complaints. Seem well made for the money. Shipping was quick. I would recommend these skates as an affordable option for anyone.
From:Ryan, Northern MN, 12/28/20
Comments: Most comfortable skates ever! I've always had issues with any skate I tried, but these felt about 95% out of the box, with baking making them completely wrap and feel amazing. These do fit/run a little bigger in some ways, so you may have to try a size or two for the perfect one. True really has something with these retail skates and I hope they keep making them!
From: Robert, 2/22/21
Comments: These skates are great, and I'm really happy with my purchase. I've had trouble finding skates to fit my feet (average ankle but wider forefoot). When I first tried these on, they were kind of tight, but after baking, they fit really well. Beyond the way they mold to your feet, they're just a good pair of skates, from the stiffness of the boot to the amount of padding inside.
From: Sarah, Las Vegas, NV, 3/20/21
Comments: Great skates. Comfortable to play. I would recommend it to try. I've tried before Supreme S160, Nexus N7000. Maybe it's not fair comparisons due to higher price but it worth it to pay more for the True skates. I've noticed also that blades steel better and required less to sharpen.
From: Timur, Houston, TX , 3/31/21
Comments: This is my first pair of ice hockey skates and I picked a good one. I have difficult to fit feet - wide forefeet, high arches and short toes. Most skates either squeeze my feet or are way too long. The TF7's were the only ones I found that fit perfectly after baking. I highly suggest buying a size down. I tried on CCM and Bauer, and fit a full size down from those in the Trues. After baking, the skates fit a half size larger than pre-baking. I would try on before baking and you want a VERY tight fit. After baking, they should hug your fit perfectly. I love the rigidity of the boot too, especially for the price. Great stiffness and single piece for sub-$400 is great value.
From: Doug, Ladera Ranch, CA, 7/20/21
Comments: I'm amazed at the performance and comfort of these skates. As other reviews say I would go a half size down from what you're normally in. I'm coming from a 7.5d ccm 68k ribcor skate and I bought a 7r in the Trues. Pre bake the skate feels too small and once they are baked the toe box seems to expand out and then wraps around your foot while cooling. I followed the baking instructions using the shrink wrap option and they formed to my feet very well. The steel that comes with the skates seems way better than other stock steel in my experience. The adjustable tongue is also a very nice feature as it does adjust the volume of the skate and it's noticeable if you needs to make a change. This easily could be a 5 or 600 dollar skate for 330 bucks which is an amazing value. The only change I had to make was adding my superfeet insoles from my old skates and they are golden.

Comments: Looks good, feels good! Great price!
From: Glenn, Kent, WA, 1/10/22
Comments: Baked the skates and used the plastic packaging wrap method to get a tight fit. The skates feel great, however I did not like the stock footbed, so I purchased a set of Superfeet and then the skates felt much better. I had no issues with my feet after my first skate.
