  • can u bake skates more then once???

  • yes, you can. Follow manufacturers instructions.

  • should i wear one or two pairs of socks? i've been wearing two because i was told two help prevent blisters when skating a lot everyday but also that two pairs means your feet don't fit the boot as well as they should and cause the skates to not respond as well as they should.

  • It all about feel, therefore two pairs definitely overkill. If you are getting blisters, it means you have not been sized properly.

  • kk i need new skates and i have like an 800$ limit and i need to know what kind are what i need, i like stiff skates and lite and i love to have a strong blade i play about 4 times a week for 2 hours a time, and i have vapor XXX's now and im 15. can you please tell me what kind are good

  • ok, it is all about fit, but again stick with the brand and try X40, X40 is improvement of XXXX pretty much. find our video review with all the info. good luck

see all
