My husband, the birthday boy, is currently baking his new rollerblades in the oven.

What? You didn't make him a cake and now he's having a hissy fit and cooking his pressies?? *boggles*

:P

Happy Birthday to Mr Heksje! Hope you all have a lovely day :D

I did actually bake him a cake. :c) These skates have to be heat-molded to the individual's foot. Hence the oven.

Well there you go, I learned something new. I had no idea! What sort of temperature?

[torenheksje.livejournal.com]

About 110c for 10-20 minutes. Trust me, I had no idea, either. I got an awesome deal on some super hi-grade blades, and then we had to look up how to open the buckle, attach the blades to the shoe (they came separately), and then a whole Google session on heat-molding.

Who knew a pair of skates could be so involved? Thank goodness he really likes them!

Well, happy blading to him!

...Wow. And here I was thinking you could strap on the rollerblades and go blading. Oh, how times have changed.

...are they made out of clay?!

[torenheksje.livejournal.com]

LOL! No, but they're made of out some silicon stuff that is meant to be warmed and then you put it on your feet and it molds to the precise shape of your foot. The boot part, that is, not the wheels. XD

Ooh - that sounds really cool!

But I was still hoping they were made out of clay, lol.

oh, and I thought it was a practice for tougher times ahead.
the time w've to boil our boots to get a meal.

warning:
silicone isn't nutricious, leather might be.
