Hmm. okay since many said stuff about soakers, which the one and only store in my country only stocks bunny soakers or some stuffed animal soakers, i'll want to know how to make a soaker myself?
what's terry cloth? will sponge do? how do i mke my own soakers? lol i'm sorry this question is pathetic but i really dont wish for my skates to rust.
ps. i still haven get it settled but i applied oil. it shouldnt continue rusting, by logic..

oh. well the shop only sells furry stuffed animal soakers cos most of the skaters are kids. which means they'll go for the cutie stuff. yikes. i'm fifteen, beginning to learn. plus since it's the only shop that sells skating stuff, ppl have no choice but to buy it from there...

well instead of making them you can get them on www.rainbosports.com... they do have stuffed animals but they have lots of other oppurtunities as well, such as glitz soakers, fuzzy soakers, and soakers that come with boot bags. it's all good!

OKAY!
I have plenty of friends that have made their own...
First, use a thick cloth that you think will suck water very well.
if you want those big puffy soakers that suck water well, get some kind of sponge too.
Somehow, sew a pocket with the fabric for the sponge. Stuff it in there and then close it up. Make sure it fits your skate!!!
What I really like about this idea is that you can go to any fabric store and design your own personal soakers, instead of the humilliating bunnies...:)

Thats strange.... I got my soakers at the pro shop at the rink! They should have normal soakers everywhere!!!

Just sew cloth such as velvet together.

I have no clue what you're asking. I thought you were talking about garden soakers.
Terry cloth is what bathroom towels are made of.
