Breaking in vapor XXs

[msander 0]

Hey there, I just picked up a new pair of XXs and I was wondering about the wet sock technique to break them in. Do I just soak a pair of socks in hot water and then lace up the skates? Do you wring the socks out first or anything? It just seems odd to put soaking wet feet into the skates ; seems like it would ruin them. Thanks for the help.

The theory is that it's similar ot how skates naturally break in, sweating and body heat. I would wring them out to prevent excess water from pooling in the bottom, but that's just me. Remember to pull out the insoles after you're done.

Yes, wring them out a bit.
