Out of the box and into a Tier 1 game, No break in required

I gave 4 stars for quality since my son got a pair for Christmas and his 1st practice after the holiday which was a low key non contact practice he came off the ice with a shattered tendon guard. After communicating with Hockey Monkey they replaced the skates in the store while we were at a T1E showcase. Without baking them my son was able to play in the game without missing a step and scoring a goal and winning the game.

Great product, great vendor, unhappy with HockeyMonkey

Looking forward to receiving this after watching my defense partner almost break his foot. Received just ONE guard. Called HockeyMonkey customer service, and was told they were "singles", if I had two feet, I would need to order two guards. This made no sense, so I returned the "single". Called the vendor (dflxgear.com), spoke to the owner, he confirmed they should be sold in PAIRS, and he was happy to sell me a pair for the same price HockeyMonkey was selling just one. Happy with the item, becoming very unhappy with HockeyMonkey.
