Our take on the True Catalyst 5X4 Junior Ice Hockey Skates

The True Catalyst 5X4 is a junior ice hockey skate built around True's NEUROFIT shell, a heat-moldable upper that takes a custom fit from an oven and a bake. It pairs a soft moisture-wicking liner and a traditional felt tongue with the True Shift Max holder and replaceable stainless steel runner. The best new price is $299.99 at Pure Goalie as of November 7, 2026, with two stores listing it new.

Questions and answers

Is the True Catalyst 5X4 heat moldable?
Yes. The NEUROFIT shell is heat moldable, so a shop can bake it to shape the fit to the player's foot.

Yes. It uses the True Shift Max holder with replaceable stainless steel runners, so worn steel can be swapped.
How does it compare to the Catalyst 7X4?
The 5X4 sits below the 7X4, with a standard plastic outsole and felt tongue instead of the lighter, stiffer build of the higher model.

Junior skates should fit snug with toes just touching the cap. Have the player try them on or bake them before skating.
