I've had the same pair of soakers for as long as I've been skating! (Almost 2 years now!
) They are purple, with green on the inside, and they have my name on them. I also own another pair of soakers with the US. Flag on them, but I have never used them, I just used them as a backup in case my feet grew, and I had to get larger skates that wouldn't fit in my old soakers. Turns out, my feet have only grown 1/2 size and hence, no need for the backup pair. Then I own a pair of sparkly sequin soakers that I made myself. They are blue and silver, and I used washcloths inside.
Altogether, I've owned 3 pairs of hardguards. My first pair were Green Glitz, but they got a whole in the toe and the heel, so I had to get new ones. The second pair were Green Tie Dyez. (yes, I love green!
) But, I retired those because I found it hard to keep the insides clean. My pair I use now are Green Glitz with gold sparkles, and they are working rather nicely!
