Hello all!! Any suggestions on permanently leaving sk8tape on skates? My used Jackson Competitor boots were really beat up at the toe area, and I taped it up with sk8tape to prevent water damage - the previous owner worked hard in them, the right toe box was gray rather than white!
When asked, the boot fitter hesitantly suggested replacing the tape monthly, but 3 months into skating in these skates the tape still looks good. I am not sure how the tape interacts with leather on a long-term basis though. Will it cause more damage than protection? Or would you recommend other methods to care for the skates?
Thank you very much!
