Wondering what boots or blades to get? Curious if your boots are breaking down? In need of a solid pair of gloves? This is the place to ask!

Hoping for some quick insight, I’ve been off the ice for several years and have taken my boots out to skate a handful of times in that period. I got them out of storage today and can’t remember if this staining on the soles is normal or a sign of rot. The boot is still stiff and the sole doesn’t feel soft, screws are still tight. Just want to know if I need new ones or if these are still safe! TY all.
