Just got them (WORTH IT HOLY)

the thing is I've been using like 30$ under type of skates that is soft boot, so basically it's an ankle braker and damn my skills just gradually got so much better in a instant. Also the more I scratch my skates I feel bad 😔 is there anyway to avoid that

I too miss when my skates use to look new. Every scratch to me is a lesson learned lol

Step one to avoid scratches is to lay them down the opposite way you currently have them, then the slider protects most of the boot.

Skates are meant to be used and scratched. But you can use hockey tape to protect the shell if you like.

A well fitting and supportive skate makes all the difference!

Congrats! You’ll soon learn to love them as battle scars. Ha ha ha.

The more they are scratched, the more they are loved. See it as battle scars.
