Skate Fit Profile
The TRUE Catalyst ARC Senior Hockey Skates are available in both regular "R" and wide "W" skate widths, and in sizes 7-11 (full and half).
Boot Construction & Stiffness Profile
The outside of the skate is constructed with an injection-molded nylon composite shell. This build makes the skate a little stiff and can take time to adjust, but it provides skaters with stability and a long-lasting, durable skate that they can rely on.
Liner & Internal Padding
To keep the feet dry and cool, these skates feature a Clarino liner which also wicks moistures away from the foot, so players can focus on skating. TRUE also added poured PU rubber side panels to not only provide an additional level of comfort and support, but to also help prevent any potential injuries, and keep impacts away.
Tongue
The lightweight pro tongue on the Catalyst ARC hockey skates provides players with a comfortable and protective tongue, but it also provides support with its sleek design. The foam inside the tongue reduced weight significantly while maintaining the right amount of support and allowing players with the flexibility that they require.
Tendon Guard
With a pro grade injection-molded tendon guard, it provides players with better versatility. It is attached with a single rivet, keeping it secure and in place. Its design allows players to bend into it without breaking, while also keeping players protected and secure from impacts.
Toe Cap
The toe cap on these skates feature the CARV toe cap. This toe cap can be seen on the majority of TRUE hockey skates, and is designed to provide better clearance when turning. This allows players to get lower into their stride and get deeper edges when making turns or coming to stops.
Steel/Runner & Blade Holder
The TRUE Catalyst ARC Hockey Skates feature the Shift max holder, an elite skate holder known for its exceptional design that reduces the weight of the boot. Paired with it is the Shift Max 9CR stainless steel, and together they provide players with the ultimate skating experience in a TRUE skate.

Hockey Player Skate Sizing Guide
When sizing for the correct size of a skate, we always advise taking the measurements below from a sitting position and not standing upright. Additional weight on your foot/feet can skew your result and misrepresent your foot size. The reason for this is that as you put your full weight on your feet, the arch of your foot will collapse and cause your foot to appear wider or longer than it actually is.
As well, please be aware that skate sizes and shoes sizing do not match exactly. As a general guideline, skates size 1 ½ sizes smaller than shoes.
It is ideal for a player to have a tight, snug fit both in length and width as this will provide the best performance and durability. If a skate is too big you will feel your feet slide around and you will not get the full performance out of the skates and can also develop calcium deposits - Haglund’s Deformity or “Bauer Bumps” for lack of a better term although this issue doesn’t only occur with Bauer models.
An Ideal Fit: Stand with your skates laced and your heel snug in the heel cup. Your toes should just barely feather the end of the toe box. Bend forward into a skating stance. Your toes should pull back slightly from the toe box. Once heat fit, your foot should slide back into the foams of the skate and the length you felt in your skating stance will more-or-less become you standing size.
To obtain the measurement above you will need a soft tape measure and a pen. Start by placing the tape measure flat along the ground in a straight line. Sitting in a chair, place your foot down with the longest point of your foot (usually big toe, or second toe) in line with the edge of the tape measure. Make sure you keep your weight off of your foot. Take a pen and mark the tape measure where the edge of your heel ends. Record this length in cm. This measurement will correspond with the sizing charts in each brand below, if you do not see your exact measurement, select the size with the next size increment above your measurement (i.e. you measure 24.9 cm, you would select 25.1 cm or Size 6).
Sizing Children for Growth Room: If you are purchasing skates for your child, it is common and usually recommended to add some additional room in the skate to increase the last, we recommend no more than 1 full size. Feet stop growing around ages 15 – 15 ½, and from ages 14 - 15 ½ we would recommend adding only half (1/2) a size in length. Follow the same measurement instructions as above, once you obtain your true size move up ½ or 1 size.
***Sizing of skates is very preference based and these measurements will not guarantee a fit that is right for you. Please use these as general guidelines, for the most accurate fit we always recommend getting measured by a professional skate fitter at our store or your local pro shop.***
