Intro & New Features
Building upon the foundation of TRUE’s original TF line, the new HZRDUS 2023 hockey skate line showcases an enhanced shell stiffness and meticulous design to offer a seamless blend of power, responsiveness, and mastery over your skating stride. The 9X is constructed with a stable and powerful overall shape and with a lot of the tech that was successful in the Catalyst series, including CARV, HydroFoam, and Neurofit+.
Skate Fit Profile
The HZRDUS 9X Intermediate skate is available in 4-6.5 Full and Half sizes in Regular and Wide fits.
Boot Construction & Stiffness Profile
The TRUE HZRDUS X9 skate showcases a substantially stiffer shell compared to its predecessor, amplifying its potential for power and control. The incorporation of Neurofit+ technology improves on the one-piece carbon fibre shell construction, enhancing the skates’ thermoformability and direct energy transfer to optimize your stride efficiency. The skate's redesigned standard tendon guard elevates its response capabilities, imparting greater agility and precision to your movements on the ice.
Liner & Internal Padding
The Hydrofoam liner is an innovative dimpled clarino microfibre liner working to enhance heel lock and provide a secure fit, allowing for greater agility and responsiveness during play. This advanced construction ensures a snug yet comfortable feel, optimizing your connection to the skate.
Lacing System
The skate employs a traditional yet effective lacing system, featuring standard eyelets that allow you to fine-tune the fit and tension according to your preference. This straightforward lacing design provides a classic and reliable approach, ensuring that you can easily achieve a secure and customized fit to optimize your on-ice performance.
Tongue
The innovative asymmetrical-shaped tongue is designed to cater to the natural contours of the foot for an enhanced fit and improved comfort during play.
Steel/Runner/Profile/Blade Holder
The skate features TRUE’s cutting-edge Shift Max holder, an elite skate holder known for its exceptional design that significantly reduces weight by 40g. Additionally, the holder incorporates BenchChange Technology, providing players with the convenience to quickly switch out runners when needed, offering adaptability on the fly. Complementing this technology is the Shift Max custom blade, meticulously crafted by TRUE and constructed with durable stainless steel, further enhancing the skate's performance and overall value.
Toe Cap
The CARV toe cap debuted in TRUE’s CAT9 skate, and the innovative design continues to be employed in the HZRDUS series. This toe cap boasts sharper edges, a streamlined aesthetic, and lighter construction, all strategically engineered to facilitate rapid transitions and seamless execution of tight turns. By harnessing these enhancements, the skate offers players increased agility and responsiveness on the ice, enhancing their overall performance during play.
Graphics
The skates take the HZRDUS aesthetic, with a primarily black colouration coupled with silver and orange accents and the HZRDUS logo visible in various sections.
Hockey Player Skate Sizing Guide
- Age
- Measurement from longest point of foot (cm)
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, skate's size 1 - 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.***
