kovalchuk71 212 Report post Posted May 13, 2008 Hey guys, I have had my Carbons for approximately 2 months now, and they have been nice skates, but they are going soft. They used to be nice and stiff, but now I can easily bend the boot with my hand and can feel it torquing when I skate. Has anyone experienced this? Is this a warranty issue? Im pretty dissapointed how fast these skates went soft. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neilsen 0 Report post Posted May 13, 2008 I had the same problem with my code 1's and it made me lose my balance alot. From what ice heard from my friend, the carbons have not been as bad as the code 1's. It may be a manufacturer issue. Make sure that you don't wrap your laces around your ankles at the top of your skate cause that will make them wear out really fast with all of the tension that it puts on the boot.
