My oven has a convection feature. I set it to 180 and baked them for about 8 minutes. The following link should be useful for you too. If you don't have a convection oven, make sure you heat the oven then turn it off so you don't burn your skates.

you dont honestly expect people to actually spend all that effort on clickin search and typing in "Baking" or something similar instead of spending much less effort by creating a new thread and that little typing do you ? :D lol

I personally hate to use the search because info gets out of date QUICK. For example, bake times for different brands. May have been 225 degrees for 7 minutes last year, but now may be 175 for 3 minutes, or NO bake at all.

Thank you jimmy. I have not decided about zak yet because I can't figure out weather he just can't speak english well or if he is like 12 years old. Anyway, I went with the 185 degree instructions as posted with the link. Did not seem to get them hot and floppy like you get at a LHS, but it worked out alright. I figure a good heat job only takes a handful of skates off the break-in time anyway.

A simple click and his profile should say he's German.
