It all starts by lacing the Edea way

Contrary to traditional leather ice skating boots, Edea boots have been designed with a lacing system that provides exceptional stability and flexibility. Unlike the traditional lacing method of strangling around the top of the ankle, the Edea lacing system allows the tongue to bend instead of the boot. During this action, the laces pull the sides of the boots in providing proper ankle support. This is achieved by using specific laces and lacing technique. Edea laces are specifically designed to lock and flex in coordination with the boot’s tongue.

Following these steps will help with the performance and longevity of your Edea boots.

When lacing the boots for the first time, make sure you are lacing from the outside to the inside. Lace flat, without twisting. This will ensure the envelope closes and will allow the mechanics of the laces and tongue to work together for support and flexibility. Make sure to run the last laces, before the hooks, through the tongue tabs. This will insure proper alignment of the tongue. Only use Edea laces in your Edea boots!

Begin lacing from the toe for comfort. Laces should get tighter towards the instep, with the tightest being the top set of holes and the bottom set of hooks. Hooks should be laced around the top providing a 360° lock.

With the bottom set of hooks being the tightest, the next set of hooks gets looser and the top set of hooks loose enough for two or three fingers to fit between the tongue and your shin. While bending, the tongue and lace system will provide great flexibility while the sides of the boot maintain their strength for proper support. If you prefer a tighter feel around the top, Edea Lace Straps can be used. If you have excess laces, do not double lace the top hooks. Go back down to the second set of hooks and finish tying.

Each time you remove your boots the laces must be loosened. Be sure to keep the laces flat and free from twists. Loosen the laces all the way down. Ensure you have loosened the tension at the last holes to prevent narrowing your boots.

Install Edea Storage Straps with the tongue straight to maintain the boot’s shape. An Edea Lace Puller makes undoing the boot easier, no broken nails and no damaged boots.
