getting new skates baked

[pizzakid13 5]

do you just put them on and sit still or do you squeeze the the boot around your ankle etc to form the mold? bauer one80 to be specific.

Some people do squeeze the boot to really get a good mold around the ankle, not sure it actually makes a difference since you're already creating volume in the skate - if you've been fitted properly. If you're squeezing the boot because you can already feel gaps inside, you're in the wrong skates.

Correct.

There's also a lot of misinformation in this topic, it needs to go away.
