Nash Sports Skate Wraps Review

A lot of work

The custom fit and the quality make these my fender of choice. I've been playing a long time and have never considered fenders until now. After taking a shot off the foot, I have a permanent lump just below the ankle. They work great, but it took a lot of effort on my part to get them just right. You will need welders mitts, not just leather gloves to bake and fit them properly.… read more Then I had to dremel down the height because they sat too far down and interfered with skating. Since they required this much work, I would like to see a price lower. However, with the super snug custom fit, I can't even tell they're on and they work great.

Disappointing

TL;DR They sit too high on the skate so they impede your ankle bending forward. Makes it difficult to skate properly. Full review: I purchased these after taking a particularly nasty shot off my skate. I was looking forward to using them, but suffice to say, after a single shift, I had removed them and would return them if that was possible. Molding them was harder than… read more anticipated. It took twice as long in the oven than the packaging recommended, and they cooled so far I couldn't really mold them the first time, so I had to re-do the process. The second attempt was better, but the tongue of the wrap would not bend to form to my skate. Neither skate was well fit, but after a few attempts, I couldn't get them any snugger. Got to a game, put them on, immediately realized that the velcro was too long so I couldn't use that to get them any tighter. Get on the ice, discover I can't bend forward at the ankle anymore because the wrap comes up too high. Tried to use tape to hold it down, but they still sat too high. Blocked a shot in the pre-game skate, it didn't hurt, so that was good. First shift I can barely skate from the ankle issue. After that shift, immediately removed them. Dunno what to do with them now as they can't be returned. Would not purchase again, would not recommend to a friend.

Protection where it counts

After 4 years of blocking shots and dealing with multiple bruises on my feet I decided to try these skate wraps. It took some work to form fit them but was able to do a decent job with them. Naturally, now that I have them, I haven’t taken any shots off of them. Based on how they feel versus my old skate fenders which I didn’t care for, these are a giant leap above those.
