Since I didn't bake my mx3's, will the speed plates create more of a response with my foot to the outsole? Or should I just bake my skates so my foot is contoured to the bottom of the skate?
You should follow the instructions that come with the Speedplate/MX3 and bake both together.
Do you think the speed plate is beneficial or just another gimmick?
I finally tried the Speed Plate today. Wow is all I can say. They're pretty amazing.
Can you elaborate?
I had a friend at a pickup game take those Bauer insoles out of his skates, he had a ton of pain wearing them. I recommend the yellow Super Feet insoles since they have helped alleviate pain in my feet compared to the stock ones.
I guess each person is different, keep trying until you find the best fit.
Ask your friend if he moulded them to his feet. I can see why he was in pain if they weren't moulded to his feet.
How does he do that?
Anybody happen to know if the shop will have to bake my whole skate, or just the insoles if I pick up a pair of these? The Bauer website seems to suggest it's just the insoles, but I just want to make sure I won't need to remove my waxed laces before I go in.
Sounds interesting. I could use new foot plates. Do these take up more room than a standard foot plate?
Anyone use these in non-Bauer skates? CCM JETSPEEDS?
I have Speedplates and really like them. It feels as if there is more spring in my stride and more power generated.
However, I had a problem with mine. The right side Speedplate cracked on from outer toward the center about 4 inches from the heel. Back right of the plate if you're looking straight down at it. I assume it cracked because the skate boot and plate didn't mesh well together. I stuck a bit of tape below the plate to take up the negative space, otherwise one part of the speedplate is lower than the other (heel is lower) causing a bit annoying pinching when I play.
This happened after roughly 6 months (games twice a week on average) and the plate is in a Bauer Supreme (190? I forget) skate. Went to Total Hockey and they said they never heard of it happening on other plates so I've just lived with it for a few months.
I'll probably get another set of Speedplates when I get around to it.
FYI one of my speed plates just cracked on the heel area and i contacted hockey monkey and sent them a photo and they are replacing them no questions asked. Didn't even require me to ship back my old set. Great customer service, but I am still worried that my new pair may crack now that this has happened once plus the other people online I have seen complaining about cracks too...
I have the new Jetspeed FT1's and the Speed Plate's dig into the liner pretty bad.
Perhaps I'll buy my next set from HM instead. Thanks for the info.
How long did your plate last before it cracked? Was it your dominant/more powerful foot? Did you use them in Bauer skates?
How are you liking the FT1's
