Taking Off Skates

Adjective used to describe a pleasurable feeling such as that which comes when hot, inflexible, jabbing skates (roller or ice) are removed after being worn for such a long time that you forget how uncomfortable they really are. Can also be used to describe something that just feels good, absent the removal of pain.

Ah man, after sitting on that terrible wooden chair all day, this sofa is like taking off skates.
