Lace Problem !

Hey guys, i havent posted in a while since the season has started, i havent really had alot of free time. but i was wondering what i can do about my skates. i tie them tight every before every game, but then like 15-20 minutes into the game, or practice, they feel like they're getting really loose. i used waxed laces and i just cant think of anything else to do that would fix this.

any help is appreciated

thanks, Caleb

Try getting someone to squeeze the sides of your skates while you pull the laces to get rid of the slack or wear thick socks so they wont feel loose

try "backlacing". When you lace your skates feed the tips from the outside to the inside, it really helps keep them from slipping.

Try putting your skates on 10-15 minutes before going on the ice and walk around in them a little bit. The laces will slip a little bit and they will be equally tight throughout the skate, then before going on the ice tighten them up a bit, so you don't have to re-tie them during your game/practice.

Chadd is dead on. I had the same issue a year ago, and thanks to MSH, I found the solution...Backlacing.

Haven't had any problems since.
