How do I care for my GRAF Figure skates?
You can’t Learn to Skate if you don’t take care of your skates! 😀
Skate maintenance is important. Like any sport, you need to take care of your equipment.
THE GOAL: Keep your skates and blades dry between use; protect your blades.
HOW TO DO IT:
Wipe your blades dry with a CLOTH when you get off the ice.
Put SOAKERS on your blades at all times when you aren’t wearing your skates.
Wear HARD GUARDS on your blades when you are walking in your skates OFF the ice. Don’t forget to remove them before getting on the ice!
Let the inside of your skates dry between wearings.
Replace the laces every 3-4 months and replace the insole about every 6 months or as needed.
