Every hockey player has a story, now your skates can help you tell it. Custom blade etching isn't just about personalizing your setup; it's about standing out with a look that's truly yours. With precision laser engraving, you can add your name, number, or any custom text to your steel, just like the pros. Built to last, your engraving looks sharp through every sharpening and every shift. Learn more about the service here.

A DLC blade finish provides unmatched strength to chips, nicks, scratches, and corrosion.

The True Shift Max DLC Steel Runners are up to 20% stronger and reduce friction by up to 40% as compared to uncoated stainless steel. Simply put, these DLC runners are the perfect choice for the player who is seeking extended blade longevity and elite-level performance.

What separates these runners from traditional stainless or even polished steel is the diamond-like carbon coating finish. DLC increases surface strength to guard against nicks, chips, and scratches while also improving edge retention so players can skate longer in-between sharpenings. This special coating also offers greater resistance to corrosion and improves glide, which means players use less energy to skate longer and faster.

True also designed the Shift Max DLC Runner with a dual profile, meaning they have a 9' radius on the front and a 10' radius on the back. This radius combination helps to maximize blade contact with the ice in different skating situations, thus improving acceleration, stride power, balance in the corners, and overall maneuverability. 

IW can have your skate blades delivered profiled, sharpened, and game-ready with Elite Blade Performance technology! Choose custom profiles like Double, Triple, Quad, SCS, and Polaris to boost speed, stability, and agility. We offer various sharpening options and an Express Mail-In service. Select your profile and sharpening hollow when adding a blade to your cart. Learn about Elite Blade Performance Services here, choosing the right profile here, and selecting the right sharpening hollow here.

Locate your three-digit number in the sizing charts below to find your True Shift Max Runner size. If for any reason you cannot locate the number, see our How to Size a Hockey Skate Blade and Holder article for a more in-depth approach to skate blade sizing and skate blade compatibility.

True runnersThey are a harder steel then what comes on the Cat 5 skates. Makes my skates fill like I can turn better and holds the edges so you can enjoy your time on the ice. You will not be disappointed in picking up some dlc runners!
