Fastest way to break in my Hockey skates??
Can anybody tell me the fastest way to break in my skates?
Most places that sell skates have a machine that “bakes” your skates after you buy them. How it works is, you put your skates on and then your feet go into a machine. The air is compressed and then the chamber gets hot (doesn’t hurt) and the skates form to the curves and layout of your feet. It still takes a skate or two to get truly used to them, but baking really helps.

The best way to break in your skates is to wear them, pick yourself up a pair of skate guards and spend some quality time with your skates, wear them around your house, while you watch TV, make food etc. and before you know it, they’ll fit like a glove. Also make sure you time them nice and tightly so that they can ‘form’ to your foot. The accelerated method involves the use of a moist sock, I believe it helps to loosten the skate and then it dries and hardens in position.
