One 90 skate baking question

[hockeyfreak999 0]

Hi i just got my one90 skates shipped in today and i saw an baking instruction on it saying that i need to preheat my oven to 175F/79C degrees and bake them for no more then three minutes. But here comes the problem since i only have a small toaster oven at home which can only fit one skate in ehich i think it is ok so i will do one at a time. But then the minimum temperature of it is 100 degree celcius if i continue baking with that but insted with shorter period of time will that damage the skate?

Here is another question since the only pro shop owner in hk is so cheap and wouldn't wanna buy a skate baking machine, he always tells us to use a heat gun to sort of like heaten it up. Which i think is ridiculous , maybe because i alwalys buy my skates in US or Canade where they have baking machines.

So please can anyone suggest me and help me out.

(P.S. Jason from Eastwest help me)

Definitely don't use a heat gun. Do you know anyone with a larger oven?

Ideally find a hockey oven, but it sounds like that isn't possible. Your next best bet would to be to find someone with a high quality convection oven and use that as it's the closest thing to a skate oven. I'd be hesitant to put expensive skates like that in a toaster oven or a regular oven.

If those are your only options, hold off until you can get to a real skate oven and until then just break them in the old fashioned way - by wearing them. you'll be sorry if you ruin your skates and im sure just throwing them in like that is going to void any warrenty.

I believe www.epuck.com has a guide with instructions for baking your skates as well as some other neat gear tips.. However I dont know about cramming your skates into a toaster oven.

Throw them in a convection oven with a damp towel. I baked skates like that before.

Another good trick some of the Pros use is to take the insole out and turn the shower on as hot as it can get. Poor the water in the skate get it really warm and wet then put the insole back in and go skate. It works really well if there is no oven around.

If you can use an oven here is the best way to do it. And I have seen my intructions on other websites so it must work.

Turn the oven to 180 F

turn the oven OFF

put a damp towel on the cookie sheet.

put the skates in the oven on the damp towel on the cookie sheet.

(no Insoles in them)

bake for 2 min (I know it says 3)

Take them out kick them back tie them up pulling the laces out to the side and not up.

Stand for 1 min (ONE90's only)

sit for 10 min take them off.

Get them sharpened and go skate!

Good luck!

Sorry OTG, I have to disagree with you on a couple of fronts.

1.) I don't suggest you soak your skates.

2.) I don't suggest you skate in them the same day they're baked.

I'm confident most will agree with me here.

But why take the insole out. So i need to put them back in after baking when tieing them up? And also why cover it with a damp cloth?

You can, at the time and heat the ONE90 is baked at.

Do not heat them in a toaster oven, there just is not enough room to do it right....I do not recomend that you put them in hot water as well.

We are still seeing a 8/10 ratio of our test players not heating them at all as the fit out of the box is very good. Go that route rather than the two mentioned above.

Like he said, you'll need a convection oven to properly bake your skates at home for proper circulation of heat.. Definitely not a toaster oven.

I just skated it the first time today(Practice). This first hour or so i feel a little bit pain on both sides of my feet. But after an hour or so the pain was gone seems like the skates expanded and they felt extremely great so i think i wouldn't do anything to it and just do the old school way in case of damaging a pair delicate and expensive skates :P .

Dude, Dont kill yourself by putting those skates into a toaster oven!! First off, your going to set your skates on fire! And second......your going to set your skates on fire!! I mean who the hell cares about where you live when you dish out that kind of money for those skates! Just man up and skate in them without baking. I have never baked a pair of skates before and have had no problems with break-in (except for the initial first few hours) Just because skates tell you that you can bake them, doesnt mean you always should......especially when your only option is a toaster oven! Just wait till your on a road trip and go to a legit pro shop buddy.

haha.. good that it works out for you!! i thought you were going to use the blow dryer ... :D

Well as you know everyone in Hong Kong does that. But i usually buy my skates when i go back to US which are more civilized . And this time i just want to make it perfect coz i think heating it up with a heatgun is absolutly going to destroy the skate. But the only thing i have is a toaster oven that can just fit my whole skate in. So i think i will just use the old school way :lol:

Well you can disagree all you want it works very well. You let the warm water fill the skate and dump out the water then you put the dry insole back in so that your foot doesnt slip on the bottom of the skate. However the rest of the warm skate will adapt you your body temprature and have limited slip causing no blisters.

Seeing as they used to sit in hot tubs with skates this is a much better way of getting the same result.

As for the same day,

Some of the companies say you can some say wait 24hrs. You can always cool them in the fridge for a few hours and then go and where them.

I use a heat gun aftre baking the skates to mold the skates in certain spots. Works great and gves excelent snug fit. But I wouldnot recommend that to somebody who has no experience doing that. Still the rule of thumb is the skate oven at LHS.
