Hi John,

I'll have to defer to to other collectors on here who are more experienced getting skates signed. But, I would imagine they wouldn't be too different than getting leather shoes or cleats signed. I would guess that using saddle soap to clean them would work best. Regarding the proper pen to use, if they are white skates I would probably use either a black paint pen or a blue Sharpie marker (if you want the auto in blue). I prefer paint pens in general, but I haven't been able to find a paint pen that has the same attractive blue hue as the blue Sharpie marker. They are either darker or lighter.
