TRUE Over Bauer & CCM Skates ? What players NEED to know about TRUE Catalyst 9 hockey skate review

Cat 7 review please!

Thank you for this clip 👍🏻
But the tongue of the skate isn't too short. Because it makes no sense to wear it over the shin guards!! This is old school style and there is only one player left in the NHL 😂
The kids in the hockey school we learn from the beginning to wear the skates properly and to wear with the tongue under the shin guards...but of course there are always a few exceptions 🤷

Cheaped out, and got some Cat 5's. They are true to size with ccm, bauer, 8 = 8 = 8. Tried at public skate, and will skate on them in beer league tonight. Tongue can adjust up and down, filling how much space you want above your toes, which is kind of a cool trick. No pain points anywhere. You are right sir, they are very anatomicow. (anatomical). :)

Great video. Any chance we could get a review of the cat 5?

I like having the tendon protector and tongue being replaceable. I wear my shin pads over the tongue so having that tongue being shorter in not a problem. Thanks as I am looking for a new pair of skates now.

Ever try Grafs?

Currently wearing the TF7s upgraded from ribcore 77ks that I’ve had for years and they are fantastic can’t say anything bad about them. And as for the tongue, with most of not all of the True skates the height of the tongue can be adjusted as it’s just held to the toebox with Velcro!!

Unless the manufacturers have demo days, most of us will not convert to another brand.

Graf 705 > ALL

I have 7.5 Bauer vapor 3x pro. What size would you recommend for the true? No shops around me has them to try on…

True definitely deserves more attention 👍
I’m a former competitive ice dancer and for years wore custom boots that were $800 a pair (not including blades), and was looking for a great fitting first hockey skate to join a beer league this year. Did all the research I could and ended up getting TF7’s. Can’t say enough about how pleased I am with the fit and value at only $329 usd and I’m looking forward to putting them through a couple beer league seasons before upgrading to these Catalyst 9’s.

These are actually great for wide feet, I'm an EEE+, was wearing nexus EE which was wide enough in the forefoot but too loose around the ankle. tried all 3 brands few months ago, tacks EE have gotten better, supreme fit 3 are not even close to the nexus ee. Went with the True Cat 5 as fit a touch more snug than my nexus but much better ankle wrap support. im a beginner skater but a huge improvement immediately.

True's styling is absolutely terrible. Lose that chrome plastic on the side. So tacky. I like the blue they use, but not this yellow on the catalyst.

I really enjoy your videos and reviews, but have to say, videos like this one feel kinda unorganized. I really wish Tommy would take 10 minutes to actually research the skates he's going to wear test. And not baking them feels like a crime. Seems like a half hearted review and I feel like the products and your followers deserve better. Just my thoughts.

Are you going to review the true svh customs vs the ccm customs

I'm not buying anything from True after my awful experience. I ordered a pair of TF7 in size of 7,5 and it appeared they make half sizes simply putting a toe insert into a bigger size. I don't know who can accept the way it feels. Luckily I could send that crap back.

I've had 3 pairs of Trues and custom Trues. Here's how they are different from CCM/ Bauer. They touch every part of your foot, where as the CCM/ Bauer stuff leaves a little wiggle room. True make great skates (I went back to a Bauer Mach).
