Lacebite problems with One90

[Leifolsson 0]

Hi Guys..

Does anyone of you with Bauer One90 skates have had lacebite problems??

If so have you got rid of them or did you do anything else?

Extra protection or so.

Can you please enplain to me what lacebite is?

Laces bite into your ankles pretty much. It happens with a crappy tongue. I can't honestly think that this skate will have that problem, but that's just me.

No problems, and I had huge ones with 8090.

Don't the 8090's have that stiff insert in the tongue for lace bite?

I just got some 8090s, and after 5 games now the tongue has softened enough to give me lacebite. At first the stiff insert worked very well, though.

[JR Boucicaut 3810]

Exactly what happened to me.

if you look at the tongue of the one90 is has a thick extra pad that helps to prevent lacebite

doont know if it works though

that or the skate could be too deep or too shallow and your foot is either coming out of the skate meaning the laces going across are digging into your foot or too shallow meaning the skate laces come down more ontop of ur foot

I have the same problem. Yes the tongue on the One90's is good, except that pad down the middle of the tongue eventually molds to where your laces are. It is at the point where I get the pain. I teach at a hockey school all summer, so I am forced to undo my top to eyelets instead of just the top one in order to avoid pain.

Anybody ever used one of these or something similar?

I was having problems with lacebite on a pair of inlines, so I cut up a mousepad and duct-taped it on the tongues of the skates. Worked like a charm. Same idea as those Maltese pads, but a lot cheaper.

It looks pretty ghetto, but my pants cover up the tongue anyways.

One of the kids on my team last year had pads simmilar to those and from what he said after the practice to his dad they worked really well.

I stopped into a LHS in my area last night and they stated that they are getting lots of complaints about lacebite with the One90's and they had these things flying off the shelves when they received their 1st shipment.........

I think that there's another guy making lacebite protection...

API Hockey

The're not as snazzy as having gel inserts but possibly another alternative.

That's exactly what I did too, except I cut out a square hole in the middle of it. The idea of that is to take pressure off the affected area.

I got my one90s when they first came out in the local lhs.. and still have yet to receive any lacebit at all. On a side note i did find that the skates were tough to break in even after molding.

I think I got my lacebite on the 8090s because I don't lace the top eyelets. The tongue is probably designed for the skate to be fully laced, and not for the extra mobility with the top eyelets unlaced.

Stop cranking down so hard on the laces!!

This could also be a "fit issue", not a One90 problem.

[Project_2501 0]

DS: Would the fit issue be that the boot isn't deep enough, thus placing your foot higher in the boot than it ought to be?

[DarkStar50 680]

I agree that can be the starting point of the problem. I only had lace bite once about 7 years ago. I just wore my skates too tight, too long, refing a doubleheader without changing my socks between games. I know how much it hurts.
