Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup:
These skates typically come pre-assembled. Ensure that the laces are properly tied for a secure fit before each use. Adjust laces from the toe up, ensuring they are snug but not cutting off circulation.
Compatibility:
These skates are designed for standard roller rinks and smooth, paved outdoor surfaces. They are not intended for rough terrain or specialized surfaces like inline hockey rinks.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather exterior with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the leather.
- Conditioning: Periodically use a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent cracking. Apply conditioner sparingly with a soft cloth and buff gently.
- Drying: If the skates become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can cause the leather to shrink or become brittle.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Consider using boot shapers to maintain the boot's form when not in use.
