  1. Yes We were told Sno Seal is SOP there are a few that do the polyurethane. Most skate manufactures do not recommend any additional waterproofing. This is not in their best interest if the skates last longer, that would equal less skate sales. I was hoping someone here might have experience with shoes or boots that are exposed to lots of moisture on a regular basis. We do dry the blades and skates after each skate both towel dry and have started to cool blow dry as well either hand dryer or hair dryer.. thanks for looking and taking the time to consider my issue.
  2. HI Sorry to break in on your forum but I have a problem I hope i can get some advice to help. I am the father of a figure skater we have just purchased her a new pair of skates. I want to waterproof them. I tried the new Neverwett it worked GREAT but it failed to adhere to the sole and heel of the skate for any period of time I mean like minutes. So back to old school I broke out my heat gun and a can of Sno Seal and covered and the soles and heels i worked the wax into the skates and for the most part it is effective. I would like to find a more permanent solution. I am thinking a commercial grade Polyurethane or a marine grade produce. I have a few worries. The soles take a beating with the jumping and the the flexing so a rigid product would probably crack. The soles and heels also get scuffed by ice contact and other skate contact when she skate on her syncro team. Any Guidance or advice would be welcome. Any addition suggestion or products? This is a really big investment and I would like to have them around for a while. Thank you in advance for any thought or suggestion or advice.
