STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE:

Pro tip: Apply at room temperature for best grip.

1

Clean it up

Wipe your skates with a clean cloth.

2

Peel with style 

Carefully peel the skin off the backing. Start with one side to make the application easier. Try not to touch the sticky side too much.

3

Stick & Press 

Start from the heel and press outwards — smooth as you go. Use a soft cloth to get every curve and edge tight.

4

Cut it clean 

Cut slowly along the outside of the seam — go easy and adjust if needed. Remember: You can always cut more, but never un-cut. Clean cuts = that sharp, custom look. 

5

Turn up the heat 

For extra grip and a smooth finish, warm the skin lightly with a hair dryer while pressing it down. You’re done! Let your skins set for a few hours — then hit the ice looking fresh.
