- This Video shows you how to properly lace a Leather Lined high top boot in your initial breakdown/break-in of a brand new boot. This 1st technique is used for the 1st 5 times and you go up one hook after every 5 times you skate. you should be able to break your boot in fully, within 15 times of skating. You will always and forever, flex your foot back toward your shin before you tie the final bow knot and can also be apply the flex and Tie method to mid-top racing boots as well.
Thank you I am a beginner and this is just what I needed to know while pausing video I followed his directions on my new skates and God knows I feel a whole lot more comfortable in them and confident too this is the first video I found to get into the meat and potatoes for beginner skaters again thank you
How/why does this method help w/ new skates?
My husband is going to start skating. Your video is perfect! Thank you!
This is just what I needed. Thanks!
Lovely! Thank you.
Ok so how /why does lacing like this to start help?
By lacing the boot this way you will feel the difference in comfort and the break in will be kinder to your feet, but the best way to describe in words is that you need to mold the lower part of the boot to your foot 1st, before you start breaking down the top. If you lace your boots tight without relieving the stress in the high part of the boot your heel will slip up and down and you will get blisters and enlarge the heel counters and possibly tear the boot off of the heel. You should always lift your foot as far back as possible towards your shin before you tie the bow knot to relieve the stress against your shins, so you can bend your knees easily. You have to be able bend your knees and ankles when skating to apply pressure to the skate to make it turn. This applies to conventional quad skates however this technique was taught to me in the early 70's by a Harlick ice boot dealer. If there are areas of the boot that are causing rubbing or blisters, try using a round Blister pad (similar to a cosmetic pad) and use the rough side toward the boot or you can also use moleskin directly on your feet in the arch or heel area that is difficult to break in. Hope that helps. Breaking in boots is painful and something experienced skaters dread when buying new boots.
