Did I skate too soon after baking skates?

[NazHockey94 0]

Hey guys,

I just got my custom nxgs in and I skates in them about 9 hrs (per pro shop rec of 8) after a bake and now I have small crease marks on the outside of the boot by the footbed. Ill post pics tomorrow but does this sound normal? Or are the skates toast?

Thx

i have been told to wait 24 hours at least before skating on baked skated?

If baked at the right temperature for the right amount of time, you can skate in your NXGs in 2 hrs.

(Emphasis on right temp/time)

Could be normal, could be where it molded around (your foot)

curious to know if you tried the skates before you got them baked to notice a difference on the foot in terms of them not being stiff and your feet being sore. cause i just tried my Bauer Supreme one.7 today on the ice for the first time and they were definitely sore on the feet cause i haven't gotten them baked yet.

2 things...

1. As JR said to hot when baked.

2. Skates to big and to warm when heated

3. Oh did you stand up when hot?

Standing up on that skate is good as long as you don't flex it.

I'll try and get them up later today. The wife is forcing me to participate in a family get together all day :/

Thanks for all the input so far.

Reputable store that really pushes Bauer stuff so I'll give them the benefit of adhering to Bauer's bake specifications.

2. Skates to big and to warm when heated

They are custom NXGs so...9.75 D Left foot; 9.5 EE Right foot with AA heel

3. Oh did you stand up when hot?

No

Looking at those creases, my opinion is too much heat.

However, your skates will be fine.

Phew, thanks JR.

Other than this issue, I am very pleased with the skates and should have gone the custom route awhile ago. Thanks for the insight everyone!
