My heel screws come loose every session I skate (both skates, and both screws on each skate). I tighten them with a screwdriver to finger-tightness (pretty tight, but not cranked-in), and when I get home, they are about an 1/8 inch out again.
This started recently. I hope the holes haven't loosened up. Should I be tightening the screws more, or will I need to get them fixed? (Note, the front screws seem fine).
I also have some serious scraping on the outside edge of my sole (near the little toe), from overly deep edges on crossovers. It's not like the scraping on the inside from lunges -- the outsides are getting really bad. Any ideas to help stop this before there's a hole in the boot? (Re-snowsealing helped a bit, since wet leather wears down like nobody's business).
