Adventure World & Riedell Skates says...
Care Counts
Four factors generally determining how
long boots will last: Skating level, skater size and weight, type of boot and
most importantly, maintenance and care of boots. If properly cared for, the life
of a boot can be dramatically prolonged to maintain the skate's original comfort
and performance. For handcrafted leather boots, it is essential that care be
given after every use best preserve the condition of the skate from the time of
purchase. Premature breakdown caused by material deterioration is the biggest
cause of boot wear. Leather deterioration as a result of chemical and thermal
forcers produced by the feet entering and corroding the leather.
Perspiration =
Deterioration
When boots are skated on for
an extended period of time, they often become wet from perspiration on the
inside lining. Composed of 98% moisture and 2% salts and acids, perspiration is
a central element in boot corrosion. The foot produces and carries more bacteria
that any other part of the body. Bacteria consumes protien, and since leather is
98% protein, it also eats boots. To prevent these different types of
deterioration, perspiration should be wiped from the inside and outside of boots
after every use.
Save the Leather
It is often necessary to loosen laces on the boots and pull
the tongue forward to allow the boots to dry at room temperature. When wet
skates are stored in skate bags or lockers, they quickly become victims of mold,
mildew and rotting leather. The routine use of leather protectants will help
keep leather looking and feeling like new. Riedell recommends using Silicone
Protectant to prevent moisture absorption by linings, Sno Seal to keep heels and
soles from weakening, and Lexol® to restore and condition leather uppers. After
protectants have dried, using Shoe Finish helps bring back the original color
and shine of the boot.
