Electrical Tape or Hockey Goo

If you are into boot slides, experiment with ways to reduce the friction between you boots and the ice.

Electrical tape works pretty good but it has quite a few downsides. It’s time consuming and it doesn’t really stay on the skate for more than a session. Although, it does give a nice smooth slide.

There is a product that hockey skaters use to protect the toe end of their boots that hardens like a resin which could work as well…but beware of how it will affect your nice skates. Also, applying fiberglass to your whole skate would give it a nice shell to slide on (use an old pair to experiment this one!).
