Its design allows it to cover both sides of the boot and across the laces for shot-blocking protection no matter which way your skate is turned. They also included adhesive rubber shims that can be attached anywhere on the skate guard to help absorb the shock of blocked shots.

Specifications
| NASH LEXAN SKATE GUARD MOLDING INSTRUCTIONS | |
|---|---|
| The following instructions were provided by the manufacturer. Check out the video below for visual reference. | |
| Step 1 | Preheat convection toaster oven or regular oven to 350°F (175°C). Traditional skate ovens don't get hot enough. |
| Step 2 | Insert (1) Skate Wrap. Heat until flimsy (5-8 minutes) and check oven frequently. If left in too long, streaking and bubbles will appear and the skate guard cannot be reheated. |
| Step 3 | Remove the Skate Wrap with oven mitts or welding gloves and center the Skate Wrap on your hockey skate. |
| Step 4 | Immediately wrap the Skate Wrap around the skate using your thumbs to mold the top part over the laces and your fingers and palms to mold the sides. |
| Step 5 | Hold securely for 30-60 seconds and then let cool completely. Attach the straps and shock absorbers. |
