New skates lost heel lock after baking
I got new Jetspeed FT370 skates a few weeks back.
The skates felt comfortable before being baked (perhaps too comfy) and the reputable LHS I went to tightened them incredibly tight during the baking process, even using a lace tightener.
The bauer bump I have continues to get aggravated - the very reason I got new skates. At this point, the skates are hilariously lacking in heel lock. These were my first heat moldable skates and had no idea that skates expand this much.
Has anyone
Here's some pics describing how I do things. I lace and tighten as normal until I reach the 4th eyelet from the top. I then add a runner's loop there as shown in the pic below.
Step 1
Step 2: I then run the laces to the top eyelet skipping the eyelet second from the top.
Step 3: I then cross and thread the laces down through the runner's loops and pull tight. When I do this, it feels like my foot is being sucked back into the heel pocket. Then I tie as norm
