Step 1 Place a strip of Sk8Tape around the toe area along the sole. The ends of the strip should be in line with any of the first few lace holes. (Excess tape covering the sole can be trimmed later). | ||
Step 2 Begin applying Sk8Tape by overlapping the end of the previously applied strip. Line up the strip so it is parallel to the bottom of the boot and extends over part of the sole. Let the tape retract, then slowly press down on the tape by firmly sliding your hand across the strip. | ||
Step 3 Start the next row above the first wide strip. Apply wide Sk8Tape parallel to the previously applied strip, overlapping a few millimeters. Cut. Repeat on other side. | ||
Step 4 For the remainder of the boot, you may start applying the wide Sk8Tape from the back. Continue across the boot and extend the tape completely past the lace holes. | ||
Step 5 Carefully trim off excess Sk8Tape with a utility knife as shown by the arrows. Use the knife as shown by the arrows. Use the knife along the sole, along the lace holes, hooks, and at the top of the boot. Apply light pressure when trimming the tape to avoid puncturing the leather. | ||
Step 6 Place a strip of Sk8Tape across the toe area above the first strip as shown in Step 1. Both ends of the strip should extend past the sole. | ||
Step 7 Place additional strips across the toe until the lace area is reached. Trim off excess with utility knife. | ||
Step 8 Apply wide Sk8Tape horizontally across the tongue. At each row, cut the tape so that the ends of each strip are in line with the edges of the tongue. |
