Man, it's like everyone was going ham on their Olympic preparations and just destroyed their boots in the competition.

 

What about breaking in a new pair from time to time to have a replacement ready,  just in case... I feel like that might help. But not everyone can probably afford multiple boots.

They probably didn't think about it... I don't remember hearing this much about boots dying last season. They'll probably think about it now!

I actually think this is Shoma's second new pair this season, though, so he probably thought the first replacements would last long enough.

Satoko, I think there's another demon in Milan, can you eat it please?

hey @Winnie_20, I figured out what the song is that they keep playing at the arena 

(yes, in case anyone was wondering, of course we didn't hear "funk")

 

 

and yes of course they also played Ed Sheeran because I think by now we can't have figure skating events without someone going "I'm in love with your body". I think it's a rule now

Let me try anyway.

Agh, don't do this to a huge Keiji fan like me, especially right after the Dabin article, please use a 'no panic' headline or something! JK, JK, but really, the moment I saw the words 'Keiji' and 'broken boots' in the same sentence, I went and then . To 'ell with the placement, I don't want him to withdraw unless absolutely necessary. Just don't get injured in them or anything, Keiji, OK?

Shoma, please, pull a Yuzu and make a comeback.  But please don't pull a Yuzu and injure yourself more.

Ouch Shoma. Please take it easy. Is his foot feeling better? 

I remember Shoma had new pair around JO, but it didn't cause him too much trouble like this time. The last time I heard about Yuzuru and boot issue is summer 2014. There's an article about he bought 3 new pair but only one fit I think. Last season Nathan had boot issue and last year SA/GPF he had blade issue . Now, Shoma, Keiji, Dabin all have the same problem after Olys. 

 

Shoma.....

The breaking in process might be too long to make it feasible. Different skates and brands take longer to break in. For example, Edea is known for having a shorter break-in period, but not all skaters like Edea. I'm assuming most of the top skaters are being sponsored, so I don't think it's that they can't afford them, it's more of a "there's no time to practice and break in multiple skates." I'm not really sure how accurate all that is, though, it's just what I've heard people say.
