I skate barefoot too :) You can use those Gillette clear anti-perspirant. Greatly reduce sweat and smell. Works well.

Hello, what would you recommend for the best hollow on a U8's skates? He is 46 lbs. He is currently on a standard 1/2" hollow but I've been reading a lot and I'm seeing recommendations for 5/8s and even 3/4 for better glide and learning proper edge work. Any thoughts?
