Ice skates!!!!!!!!?

you see, sometimes when i touch my ice skate boots with my hands/fingers, i see little grey smugges on the boot! how do i take those away??!!! i tried nail polish remover with water on a rag, but it still didn%26#039;t work!! i mean i just got these skates 3 days ago, and am waiting till saturday for my next lesson, and i didn%26#039;t wear them yet but there are like 3 little grey finger print smugges on the boot, but they are also very un-noticible, but still, even if they are super light grey and you can%26#039;t really see them, how do i get them off???!!!!!

Don%26#039;t dilute the nail polish remover with water.
Reply:**It sounds like you might have an oil or polish on your skate leather. Try wiping it off. Tomorrow, call the store where you bought them and ask if there is something that they put on them.**





I haven%26#039;t heard of this so I have to admit that I don%26#039;t know for sure but my initial though when I read what you wrote is that your skates are actually covered in some sort of polish or oil to protect them from the manufacture.





Try -- up near the top -- wiping them off with a soft clean cloth and see if anything come off.





If there is something on there it will come off eventually anyway and could get on something like your dress and I doubt that is is necessary past shipping.





You might also want to call the store where you bought them and then the manufacture.
Reply:Try not diluting the nail polish remover with water, and using it, and you can get boot polish, but it%26#039;s just natural wear on the boots which all skaters have!

Reply:These are just scuffs, and they%26#039;re bound to happen. I know, it%26#039;s quite dissappointing, especially if their new. There%26#039;s nothing really that can stop it, but you can try wearing boot covers or tights that pull over the boots.








Don%26#039;t use nail polish remover, it will damage the boot material. You can try using a soft cloth if they are oil stains, but I doubt it. If you rub the cloth on it and it rubs off, you%26#039;re in luck! But I really don%26#039;t think it will come off. It%26#039;s a natural thing, all great skaters have it (Sasha Cohen for example.) It%26#039;s just the wear and tear of your ice boots since you%26#039;ve been skating a lot!





Don%26#039;t feel bad, my scuffs are brown cause my heels on my boot are brown and when you skate it rubs onto the side. Your heels must be black (i%26#039;m assuming...)





Good luck, hope this helps!
Reply:Skate tape can become your new best friend. It%26#039;s white tape to you put on your skates that protects them. It%26#039;s amazing stuff, really! If your local pro shop doesn%26#039;t carry it, try some of the pro shops online.





Over the boot tights or boot covers can also help protect your skates. Over the boot tights just tend to get runs and holes in them rather quickly, so that%26#039;s why I prefer skate tape.





Our skate pro uses WD 40 to take scuffs, sk8 tape residue, etc. off of skates. She then uses scrubbing bubbles cleaner to clean them and take the WD 40 off. She%26#039;s done Sasha Cohen%26#039;s skates, Sarah %26amp; Emily Hughes%26#039; skates, etc., so she really knows what she%26#039;s doing.
