Skate tape

I didn’t discover this product until Katrine had sliced and cut up her first pair of new skates quite a bit.  Now I love it.  It doesn’t prevent all damage to the leather but it certainly helps to keep them looking nicer, and when you spend as much on them as we do you want them to look nice as long as possible.

New tape: Doesn’t it look nice and shiny and smooth?

Old tape:  One word – UGH (Particularly like the toe of the skate.  Notice how it is all torn up.  Even with the tape, Missy Katrine managed to slice out a small chunk and we only got these skates in August.)

It is so easy to put on too.  You simply unroll it onto the skate and then smooth down.  Simple but effective.  It even peels off easily when you need to put on new tape or polish up the boots for a competition.
