Will This $50 Amazon Boot Stretcher Work On Rollerblades?

[@relentless_fps]

I essentially did the same thing with my SEBA CJ2 primes just without the liner in because I wanted to stretch the toe box of the shell. I wish I could send photos on here of the FM3 carbons, because I gutted those & completely removed the skin from the carbon shell, the skins are attached with a strong adhesive. But with the FM3 I was able to completely gut the boot & skin so it would fit a liner. I used locktite spray adhesive to wrap the skin on to the shell. Never had any issues with them coming apart or anything. Back in like 2008-15 ish the big thing was down sizing skates like the Valo, Nimh, SSM & skinned Cults by toe cutting the boot, removing the toe portion or even as far as the whole toe cap along with the bridge. Hopefully this heating & stretching method will work out for you

Post a picture of your fm3s

[@scrotang]

Or post them up o. Reddit

Hi bro, did it work for the CJ2 Prime? I have the same problem and I wanna expand the toe box in terms of lenght, it would be nice see the result and if you have some advices. Thanks!

[@Martz604]

You're making great videos with great experiments!

So that secret source info on leaving the soul plate, that stands for carbons and carbon frees?

[@okthisisthelasttimeipromise]

Eeek good question. Tbh I’m not 100% sure. Nothing seemed to …go wrong. But I’ll definitely post if it end up warping or something on subsequent attempts.

[@longtermsquatter]

Not finished yet but why put liners in if it's the shell you are trying to stretch

[@okthisisthelasttimeipromise]

The boot stretcher needed a little extra padding to really be effective. It’s rated to like size 12 and an empty shell would probably be larger than that …ish.

[@longtermsquatter]

@@okthisisthelasttimeipromise so a 8-9 shell would be larger than a 12 shoe?

[@Impossibly-Possible]

Stretching them while warm without the liners would probably stretch them nicely, or maybe put them back in the oven after first stretching with the stretcher still in it and take it in and out of the oven stretching it each time a few turns until you reach the size you want.

[@RusPitman]

Yay! New profile pic! Looking good 👌

[@theslowesthare4831]

So glad it's working!!!! I could see how leaving the souls on would give it a foundation. Persistence pays off! 👍👍👍

[@okthisisthelasttimeipromise]

Yep, def going to take a couple attempts, no biggie. 👍👍👍👍

[@BizWithBernie]

What's the result? 😀 Im also in between in their mondo 9.5US. seems better to get 43-44.

[@iRollerboot]

Unfortunately didn’t really make a difference

[@MrMeen]

Nice. Yeah I did the same for my Aeons. I'm between sizes so I buy smaller. I use a heat gun on the pressure points, then do 5 or 6 somewhat uncomfortable sessions without the inner sole and shock absorber.

[@icemanbtlr25]

Can you do this with cults?

[@okthisisthelasttimeipromise]

Good question. Again I don’t believe the manufacturer recommends it with plastic boots, but I’d imagine it can be done.

[@kevinkev1530]

Cool hope it works

[@arseniopatterson2091]

What I’ve learned from a friend in Colorado is if you have a ski shop near buy they can stretch boot to your specs my friend is like a 13 boot in skates so he goes to the ski shop and gets them stretched to his liking for future reference

[@johnschmit6461]

I tried 2 shops in Minneapolis and neither was able to stretch mine...

[@DuckButter81]

Love your vids! I’m 41 and i’d love to get back into aggressive skating, but I’m embarrassed to try, because i feel like i’m just too old at this point. Lol!

[@icemanbtlr25]

Don't be bro lotta OG's including myself (also 41) throwing the blades back on

[@Swivelsonwheels]

Go for it,started skating at 59,60 in a few days 😊

[@iRollerboot]

Man there’s AMAZING skaters your age. You got this.

[@pogoSK8]

Fall, stand up, try again and learn something new is the game since we're young. It's kind of crazy to stop this process when you get older, wiser and stronger because of fear. Skating is one of the most satisfying and naturally things we should do. ✌️Coming back at the age of 40 and it was the best decision of my life. Start slow, get yourself some padding and you'll be fine. Never quit with things that make you happy.

[@Justin-iu7un]

42 here, skated for 10 years maybe a little more came back after a 20 year break. Just do what makes you happy.

[@jda79]

That's awesome, definitely the way to do it, just take it easy work it out slow and don't destroy it

[@iRollerboot]

🤞

[@shawnkurtisTV]

I’m 9.5US what’s the best choice for me?

[@iRollerboot]

If you’re a 275 mondo I wouldn’t reccomend the 8/9 boot.

[@islefish9786]

Just got my ag20s, I'm a uk 8 and thought shit these are a bit tight,heat moulded the liners and now they feel amazing, good luck dude

[@iRollerboot]

Glad it worked out for you! Ended up selling mine off. Perhaps I’ll pick up a larger pair.

[@EdwardMilsom]

I just got a pair of UK8 AG10s and they are the most uncomfortable thing out the box I've ever felt... Did you only do the liners or the shell too?

[@Franz_giblet]

⁠@@EdwardMilsomI bought some Ag 20 last year, skated them and they felt uncomfortable so I changed the liner and it completely changed the comfort. I found the foam feels really hard on the prime liners that come with them. If you’ve got some other liners it’s worth swapping them.

[@EdwardMilsom]

@@Franz_giblet what'd you change to?

[@Franz_giblet]

@@EdwardMilsom I’ve got the ag20 which is a shared shell size so as I was at the lower end of the shell I got crown liners which are the thickest liner to take up some space but the ag10 is individual shell sizes so it depends how much room you’ve got in the shell as to which liner would be best.

[@thatmountain]

Link the one you used?

[@iRollerboot]

I was going to but the link is like a novel long. If you search boot stretcher on Amazon this one is hard to miss.

[@TheRayg1976]

So what happen?

[@iRollerboot]

It didn’t really end up working enough to be effective.

[@chilli-iceolive-abode2447]

I've always been curious about this and have heard completely opposing opinions on the subject, so I'm intrigued to see how it worked out for you. Thanks for pumping out all the content! 🔥💫

[@okthisisthelasttimeipromise]

Thanks Charlie! Appreciate it ^_^

[@pogoSK8]

Damn I want to know now if it works... I hate cliffhangers 🤣

[@iRollerboot]

Will report back ^__^

[@nicroc2353]

What size shoe do you wear out of curiosity? If ur a 275 Mondo I think thats 10.8 Inches. Just measured mine and I think Im about 10.5 Inches which is right at that 270 mondo limit for the 8-9 Shell. I wear a 10.5 US shoe so wondering if you wear a bigger size before I buy. Thanks

[@okthisisthelasttimeipromise]

I’m a 275 mondo on the dot. I would not buy 8/9 icons.

[@bettysartist]

l had to do that with my rookie 78 roller skates .it worked

[@drew-ie9xw]

Use a heat gun in a ventilated area. Plastics degas when heated

[@iRollerboot]

💯💯🤘🤘

[@MK-xw1rp]

Hahahaha bro this is epic they did it whit the new skates also not to true fit then in aeons they felt perfect but once u brake them in is like u swimming a little bit but a lot of people got a good point let’s test the m12 give it a stretch lol

[@ZeusMerk]

Like just for putting your money and skates on the line for the sake of experimentation. 👏

[@okthisisthelasttimeipromise]

How is a ski shop even making money in Texas?? I've never heard of any mountains where yall are. Major sus for sure.

[@okthisisthelasttimeipromise]

Hahaha for sure. To be fair it’s a “Sun and ski” shop so it’s like an REI with a small ski section. But the guy seemed legit.

[@magicseadog8674]

Tons of people and texas and tons of money. I think they have more ice rinks per capita than anywhere else in the US.

[@Travis732]

@@magicseadog8674 0h I see. I learned something new today. Thanks
