Nicks in Ice skates??
trust me! you%26#039;ll never get a straight positive answer out of any one here!!! i tried it, and kept getting different answers and i didn%26#039;t know which one that would work for me! and i don%26#039;t want to accedently use one of them, and then have it ruin yours or my skates! :( but just either keep them nicked and stuff, and then hang them in your room and then it will look like you were a pro comitted skater and that you love it, and you could say to people that those were your first skates or something! OR take the easy way, and ask the rink you go to what would work!! good luck! :)
Reply:If you have knicks in your boots you need to watchthe placement of your feet. When doing front and back crossovers, jumps and spins make sure you are not too tight or too close boot to boot. Most skaters don%26#039;t realize this happens and that is also how your over the boot tights get cuts in them.
Reply:i used to buy this white skate paint just for iceskates that would cover mine up, because i rarely wore the boot covers i put the skate paint on. i really works and mine still look really good.


about trying to prevent them...cant help ya there i still get them hahaha
Reply:You have to watch the placement of your feet, but really it%26#039;s hard to avoid nicks and dings in your skates it%26#039;s just part of what happens when you skate. Even the over the boot tights do not protect from the dings that you get in your boots. You can use boot polish or sk8tape to cover up the dings, but really there isn%26#039;t much you can do!
Reply:Go to the place you bought your skates from (or any place that sells quality skates) and ask for skate tape. You can get it in white and they should have a brochure there that shows you how to put it on.


You can keep it on for practice and then take it off for competitions. That%26#039;s what I did to protect my daughter%26#039;s new skates. Don%26#039;t forget to ask them which solution will take off any extra adhesive but not damage your skates.
Reply:Along with scuff marks, nicks are just going to happen (just a sign that you%26#039;re working hard - wink!). If it%26#039;s mostly in the same area of your boot, the best %26quot;prevention%26quot; method is to find the root cause in your technique. I think I may have gotten some of those from scratch spins - but really you should never be getting your blade onto the boot.





If it%26#039;s not too bad, a lick of skate polish should cover them but make sure the boots are completely dry. They really need to be covered so water will not penetrate the leather - it%26#039;s not good for the boot.





Or you can use Sk8tape. Cover the areas you are prone to getting nicks to prevent further nicks (although you may have to change the tape once and while). I used them over my lunge marks . . . I was literally getting a hole in my boot because I scraped down the leather!! http://www.sk8tape.com/Sk8tapeProductInf...
