AboutLezly Ziering Expertise Ask me technical questions about how to skate, where to skate in N.Y.C., what to look for in a skate, where to learn to skate indoors or outdoors in N.Y.C. Where to buy traditional skates (quads). Do not ask things like - give me a list of skates from the best to the least desireable or prices of inline skates.

Question Hi! I am an ice hockey player and just got my 1st inline skates - Rbk 6K w.
pump (similar to my 7K ice skates). Can I bake the boot of my inline skates to
make them fit better?
Answer Ilmir,
Seems you have a high end Reebok skate there. The answer is - yes, you can bake the boot if you know what you are doing & are careful. If you did this with your ice skates, you should be able to transfer the technique to your inlines.
I would call Reebok to hear what they have to say - just to be on the safe side. Good luck & skate safe!!
Roll on!!!..........................Lezly (Lezly Skate School - estab. 1979)
