Nike Inline Hockey Skates
Can I bake my Nike Bauer Vapor XVR inline hockey skates?
is there a faster way to do it myself other than just wearing them? or can I do it with a hair dryer? need help please…Thanks!
I don’t need to dry them, I need to break them in faster!
Convection oven, preheated to 200 degrees for 4-5 minutes to help soften the boot.
Make sure you remove the footbed before heating. Once you take them out of the oven, put the footbeds back in and put the skates on. Avoid wax laces for this process because the wax residue will burn your fingers when you’re lacing them back up.
Lace the boots up and remain in a seated position as the boot forms to your foot. Walking around in heated skates is a bad idea because it will cause creasing and result in premature breakdown of boot.
Once the boot cools down (10 – 20 minutes), take them off and let them sit for a couple of hours. At this point you’re good to go.
