⚠️3D Adapt Padding Caution

⚠️

The 3D Adapt padding is made of foam and cast polyurethane (PU). The yellow particles you may see are PU pellets shedding from the liner. This is considered normal wear and tear and is not covered under warranty.

Yellow PU pellets shedding from the 3D Adapt padding — normal wear, not a defect.

Why this happens

No / thin socks

Skating with no socks or very thin socks lets sweat seep into the liner, breaking down the padding faster.

Skates not loosened

Pulling the skates off without fully loosening them drags the foot against the liner and tears at the padding.

Loose or oversized fit

Oversized or under-tightened skates let the foot move inside the boot, increasing abrasion against the liner while skating.

How to prevent it

Wear thick socks

Thick socks help keep the liner dry and protected — especially important in humid climates.

Loosen before removing

Fully loosen the laces before taking the skates off to minimise abrasion against the liner.

Correct size, tightened

Buy the correct skate size and tighten the skates properly so your foot stays locked in and doesn’t rub the liner.

Note. Some shedding of the 3D Adapt padding is normal over time and is not a manufacturing fault. If you’re unsure whether what you’re seeing is normal wear, WhatsApp us a photo before assuming a defect.
