molding skates

[Polar1 0]

i have a pair of bauer xx. i have molded them, but i think it got messed up because the sides hurt. i am thinking about remolding them. if i mold them for a second time will it destroy the skate?

thx

no it will not harm the skate,xxs can be molded mutiple times i believe.

Where do they hurt? Inner foot, outer foot, ankles? How long have you had them and have they hurt from the very beginning?

are graf 735 bakeable?

Yes.

I wouldn't do the XXs that much - honestly, I wouldn't do it to them at all. 2 min of heat is practically nothing.

it hurts on the outer foot, and ive had them for about 2 months, and it hurts because i think wen i first molded them i was sitting, so wen i stand my foot gets wider. that may be y.

You should sit but have your feet directly below your knees. Standing can warp the sole.

What do you mean by "outer foot"? do you mean the outside of the bottom of your foot?

[Polar1 0]

no, like on the top, next to the outer side of the laces. but it only hurts for one of the skates

do i apply any pressure, and how r u supposed to tie em. i hear thing like at the toes loose, in the middle tight, or sumthing like that

[Chadd 916]

You can tie them but pulling too tight can cause problems.

[JR Boucicaut 3804]

Pull outward, not up. You can yank the eyelet right out if you do that. The skate will have more give because it's hot. Get it snug.

Just try not to bake them any more after you do them cause it weakens the skate over the long run. But sit down with your knees above your feet like chadd said and don't apply pressure as the skate is at it's weakest when it's hot.

Sounds like that foot is bigger. Getting that one skate streched might help? JR would no better about this.

[JR Boucicaut 3804]

I'm confused...by the laces or just the side of the foot? Should probably get that stretched. If it's by the laces, lace bite?

polar are you talking about where the tongue tucks into the skate?.....

o, and i 4got to mention that i put one of those step things under my heel because when i stand my foot gets pretty wide and bauer's are narrow skates, do i wear them while molding
