Skate punching?

[Ranger-#8 1]

Can you punch out skates where the toe cap meets the boot? If so, how much can u punch out without causeing structural problems?

[Cavs019 710]

you can punch anywhere that isnt plastic. Im punching that exact region on my xxx's tomarow.

I think he meant how far can you punch without tearing it, or how far can you punch that area without it pulling away from the plastic toe cap and leaving a hole. Thats how I understood it anyway, just tryin to help.

He couldn't have been more straightforward.

I want to punch out the region directly behinde the clear plastic part under the eyelet closest to the toecap of my XXX. Would I be able to punch this area?

[Cavs019 710]

Ill let you know, since were talking about the same area on the same skate. My feet feel like there in a vice right in that spot.

Yea they are fine on the insides, but the just smash on the outsides.

i am new to the idea of skate punching. how is it done? and where could i get it done by someone who knows what they are doing. my left skate is rubbing me pretty bad on the inside of my ankle. hopefully this could solve it.

I just got new 692's and they fit really well, just the edge(beginning) of the toe cap could be a bit wider, so this is a place to punch them out.

I have to go to a shoemaker since my lhs doesnt have such a machine anymore (will be the same anyways).

But there are some things i have to know so that i can tell them to the shoemaker.

Do i have to unlace the boot or is it ok to make the laces just very loose?

Does the shoemaker have to heat the area up ?

And how long should one boot take ?

If theres anything else which is important and he has to keep in mind..

TELL ME :)

Thanks !

If you're trying to punch the plastic of the toe cap you may have some issues.

True. The cap can be heated and "remoulded" so to speak. I've punched them out before but you risk weakening the plastic and separating it. I once punched one out so far you could see inside the skate from the outside. The customer gave me the go ahead, he just wanted the pain relieved without having to buy a new pair. He was happy in the end so that's all that mattered.
