I was just wondering if any of you had ever embellished or painted your skates in any way? I was tempted by those custom skates but I'm still new to the sport so I wasn't ready to shell out the cash yet until I figure out what I like in a skate.
I just changed my laces from white to black and I love the constrast look. I was thinking about painting the base of the skate black to match maybe or maybe even a few black rhinestones on the heel after I paint it.
I looked on pinterest and pretty much only found painted figure skates that were used as decoration...not to actually skate in. I know I can get boot covers....I don't like fussing with them much day to day. I'm not planning on seriously competing at any point so I don't think having non traditional skates is going to be an issue for me.
Would love to see pictures of your skates if you've done anything to personalize them! Funky laces or fancy blades..show me what you've got
