Baking Ice Skates At Home

Bake the skate for 6 8 minutes.

Baking ice skates at home. Preheat the oven to 175. Turn the oven off before placing the skates inside. The skate should be warm but be careful not to touch the steel for ice skates the chassis for roller skates or the metal eyelets. We show you how to do it in the comfort of your home.

Using your oven s convection feature is also important. The increased airflow will ensure there are no hot or cold spots that could affect the baking process. While the oven is preheating prepare the skates by loosening the laces all the way down to the end of the boot. Take the shoe out immediately and begin the molding process.

Set oven to 20f above the skate s recommended baking temperature on convection mode this extra heat will make up for the later steps where the oven cools off before the skate goes in. Set a timer so that you don t lose track of time. Slightly pull the tongue out and leave the top eyelet empty on both sides. If your skates don t come with specific baking instructions 210f should work well.

Using an oven mitt remove the tray from the oven and take them over to your chair. Gently slip your foot into the skate and make sure your heel is all the way back.
