Silicone Spray Skates

[seanmccann 3]

Is it necessary to spray my new Graf skates? On the paper that came in the box it said to spray them but guys at United Cycle said that it will not benifit. Should I spray or should I not?

you should because when u sweat it will get in ur skates and make them heavy ,i do cuz all my sweat goes into my skates and if i dint the skates would weigh like 5 pounds each.

Do what many pros do: drill a couple of holes through the outsole between the two towers.

JR does it to his skates and somewhere he explained how he does it.

i used that spray on the clarino lining every 3 or 4 months, and i lightly spray some on the inside of the skate as well.

will drilling the holes affect the durability of the skate? how big and how many holes should u drill, and do you drill straight thru to the footbed? i'd be interested to try this, but i'm not sure if my dad would buy into it n do it...and theres no stores around here that would know what i would be talking about

5/32" drill bit, drill 5 holes in a cross pattern in the middle of the skate (between the holder towers). It will not affect durability.

Do not drill the footbed, LOL...

I'm sure someone on here has pics of a Bauer prostock skate - they do it to all of them.

Hum, the CCM Vector Pros (retail) come with holes in the outsole BUT these holes go right through the insole, too! It makes sense to me because holes in the outsole only won't help as much. How should the sweaty air/steam pass through the insole without holes?

[lee92 2]

so pretty much u just drill through the white plastic outsole of the skate jr? how would that help drain sweat and keep your feet drier? maybe i'm just not following it right lol
