20 best skates

A huge selection of sizes (from 23 to 48) of the Bauer Supreme S140 hockey skates will allow you to choose this model for both a child who begins to play sports, and a more experienced adult. The nylon boot looks attractive - a high heel counter, which helps when putting on shoes, also serves as additional protection for the ankle. Despite the synthetic material, the boot in the toe and heel area reliably covers the foot from stick or puck strikes.

Inside is a comfortable and moldable synthetic lining.It ensures the absence of any discomfort when entering the ice, and does not distract from a hockey match or training at all. The absence of hooks in the upper part of the lacing affects the time of putting on the boots. In addition, you should pay attention to the fact that over time they wear out a little, and the laces should be tightened more, because this is the only way to fix the skates on the leg.

Semi-professional hockey skates KHL Nitro will be appreciated by both beginners and just fans of this sport. The presented model differs in the best protective properties and the maximum rigidity. The boot is made of artificial leather and durable nylon, which provides them with high resistance to abrasion and cuts and, accordingly, a long service life. Heavy-duty material, which reinforced the heel and toe of the boot, provide reliable protection of the ankle from accidental bumps and cuts.

The memory foam technology used in the KHL Nitro liner provides maximum comfort on the ice, thanks to the fact that the lining completely follows the shape of the foot. Antibacterial liners will not allow the growth of bacteria and the appearance of an unpleasant odor. The blade of the skates is made of high-carbon steel and is characterized by high-quality sharpening. This model guarantees the best precision during the most difficult tasks, and comfort during intense activities.

Senator GT hockey skates, created with a number of unique technologies, guarantee the player not only maximum comfort, but also reliable protection during the game. A durable polyurethane toe box protects the front of the foot from injury, while the heel of the Senator GT skates has a reliable RBP system. Due to the presence of an anatomical foam insole, the user practically does not have to get used to new equipment, and the foot is fixed as stable as possible. At the same time, the lining fabric has the best hygroscopic properties and is treated with an antibacterial composition, which will ensure absolute dryness of the feet, even during the most intense workouts.

The Senator GT skates feature a steel blade and a Power Torsion hockey frame that is lightweight yet strong for better maneuverability and faster acceleration. The innovative outsole of the presented skates minimizes energy loss. In turn, this guarantees maximum precision when making any maneuver, whether it is a U-turn or a sudden stop.

The level of cost does not always dictate the rules for the convenience of equipment for active sports. Hockey skates NORDWAY NDW500 are a combination of low cost and sharpening for maximum comfort when skating, carefully provided by domestic manufacturers. They are designed for progressive hockey players who need stability and the ability to show off their skills in fast and tactical play.

The boot of skates is made of combined synthetics with the use of additional reinforcement and anatomical design technology. There is an ankle caliper, as well as anatomical liners to ensure foot comfort during intense loads.However, a particularly pleasant fact is that the manufacturers adapted the model to the harsh climatic conditions of Russia: the toe and glass received additional protection from frost, and therefore the skates can also be used on open playgrounds.

The Vapor X800 S17 hockey skates from the Canadian company Bauer were created specifically for progressive athletes whose main goal is to master the skills of fast and maneuverable skating. It is impossible to say that this model is very popular with consumers, since the influence of the high price affects. However, those who nevertheless purchased them note excellent results in all key parameters.

The main advantage of Bauer skates is the use of a number of special technologies in the production, as well as sharpening to ensure true comfort. In addition, the ability to change skate blades clearly distinguishes professional equipment from amateur ones. The thermoforming ability of the boot (the lining inside takes the shape of the body), the sublimating sole and the built-in calipers in a hockey match become, albeit inconspicuous, but one of the most necessary components of success. If the issue of cost does not play a big role, and the potential user shows great promise (in terms of playing hockey), then the Vapor X800 S17 is the best choice.

One of the most affordable skates for figure skating, they are beautifully patterned and practical.The use of artificial materials in no way affects the reliability of sports equipment. The body of the eco-leather boot reliably protects the foot, and the inner fabric lining provides an acceptable level of comfort. Traditional lacing securely fixes the foot in the boot and will not allow any ankle injuries - the built-in instep supports securely hold the heel and shin, preventing excessive loads on this area.

Action PW-232 will be of interest to both novice skaters and ordinary amateurs. The size range allows you to choose this model not only for children and adolescents. Women's skates are no less often used to go on the ice and adult amateur skaters. The blade of the traditional type for skiing is made of stainless steel and is of rather high quality for the price segment. It is not at all necessary for beginners to figure skating to purchase expensive Bauer or Wifa skates - the characteristics of the Action PW-232 will be quite enough to learn how to stand confidently on the ice.

During intensive figure skating classes or amateur pastime on the rink without time limit, the feet in tight and hard boots involuntarily begin to sweat, but not in the Swiss GRAF Topas. These skates have several effective differences from other participants in the rating in this category, which, in fact, can already be seen from the price of this sports equipment. However, those of the owners who had the opportunity to compare the abilities of other skates with this model chose Topas for quite objective reasons.

A lowered heel counter gives more freedom to the leg, but does not at all weaken the iron “grip” of the boot around the ankle section - it is almost impossible to get injured in these areas in these skates (unless you try to do it on purpose). The faux suede lining acts like a membrane, wicking away moisture immediately and drying quickly. As a result, the feet are provided with the maximum level of comfort, regardless of the duration of the activity. The model will be appreciated by both professionally engaged children and beginners in the world of figure skating, as well as ordinary amateurs of various ages. Fortunately, the size range of GRAF Topas is quite wide.

Skates for amateur skating and professional performances of figure skaters are distinguished by an exquisite external design that respects the classic rigor of forms. The boot is made of artificial leather with standard lacing (there are hooks in the upper part for quick removal). The inner part is covered with genuine leather and felt, in the shin area there are frame reinforcements (arch supports) for reliable fixation of the foot and prevention of injuries and dislocations. A good impression is complemented by a dense insole, repeating the anatomical shape.

As for the main attribute of the inventory - blades, they meet professional requirements (steel thickness). Judging by the opinion of the coaches, the skates are perfect for teenagers who begin figure skating, because all the necessary characteristics are identical to professional, more expensive models (Jackson, Bauer, etc.).Of course, Le Fleur Fur is applicable not only in a sports environment - anyone can go on the ice of an ordinary rink in them, especially since the class of skates allows you to be sure of the reliability of protection against possible injuries.

Success in figure skating, regardless of level, largely depends on sports equipment. The ICE BLADE Merida skates are designed for fans of this sport, but they are not quite suitable for professional performance (the manufacturer positions them as an amateur class), despite the fact that the boot fits snugly around the leg and provides a rigid and reliable fixation of the foot. Under the material of the inner lining (velveteen) there is a special padding that precisely takes the shape of the limb. It is elastic and provides better riding comfort.

Both beginners and experienced figure skating enthusiasts can choose these skates - the model is of high quality, and the use of artificial materials has little effect on the quality of gliding, more affecting the affordability of the price. Boots can be safely used on open ice, without fear of low temperatures.In the ICE BLADE Merida, your feet will definitely not freeze, because the synthetic lining reliably retains heat. High-quality blades are also suitable for indoor areas with artificial ice. Despite the affordable cost, they ride no worse than professional Bauers. In any case, amateur skaters will not notice much difference.

The first place in the rating is occupied by the magnificent (in all respects) model of figure skates Princess Lux 100% Leather from the Sports Collection company. At a not the highest level of cost, the shoes of the model are made of genuine leather, and the material was used to finish both its parts (internal and external). Despite the fact that the model is designed for use by professionals, it is very popular with beginners. Users note that skating at this level gives additional confidence, mainly due to excellent ergonomics.

In general, there are no complaints about Princess Lux 100% Leather in terms of finish, comfort, and even more so in appearance. An excellent example not only for professional figure skating, but also for cozy evening walks on an outdoor rink. A wide range of sizes on the market allows you to choose high-quality figure skating equipment not only for children. The presence of skates of this model with sizes from 25 to 42 can also satisfy the choice of adult ice lovers.

Excellent equipment for going on the ice for beginners and amateurs is offered by the SK Tornado model. Designed for men, the skates are perfect for both hockey and general skating on open or closed (artificial) rinks. It should be borne in mind that a high-carbon steel blade is not prepared for use - it must first be sharpened. The lacing has a duplicate Velcro in the upper part, which allows you to limit the fall of the skate in case of poor tightening (this happens to beginners).

The foot and shin are provided with protection against dislocations and fractures with a built-in reinforcing arch support. The boot sits tight, fits the foot well and is very warm - the lining is made of synthetics. When choosing, one should take into account the fact that in the model the dimensions of this model are "small" by two orders of magnitude, therefore, if size 40 is needed, the owner will have to purchase the 42nd for comfortable riding.

For lovers of outdoor activities, including on ice rinks, Skates Justin walking skates from the Italian manufacturer Fila will be the best choice. This model, like the rest of the company's products, is manufactured using innovative patented technologies that provide sports equipment with the best performance. The presented skates are equipped with a frost-resistant glass, which allows them to be used on an open ice rink in frost, without the risk of injury. For reliable fixation of the foot in the boot, this model has strong laces and an additional Velcro fastener.

While skating Fila Skates Justin, your feet will be warm and comfortable.The breathable inner insulation does not allow moisture to accumulate and ensures its timely evaporation. The blades of the presented skates are made of stainless steel, due to which they have increased anti-corrosion properties and better glide, both on natural ice and artificial ice rinks.

Men's skates from the Canadian company Bauer, designed specifically for mastering basic skating skills. According to users, they cope with their task perfectly: the presence of an ankle caliper and a well-chosen boot shape ensure reliable and comfortable fixation of the leg during the rental. It would seem that there is nothing to complain about, but quite often comments about the presence of a serious marriage in skates slip through the network. The fact is that in some instances there is an element (possibly reinforcing) that seriously rubs the lower leg from the outside, even if the size is perfectly matched. If we take into account the balance and quality of a serviceable model, then Bauer is definitely a priority.

The fact that these claims are episodic (far from everyone who uses Bauer Flow skates rubs the ankle) may indicate a physiological deviation from generally accepted standards associated with a feature of development. Only careful fitting will solve such an annoying discrepancy. The skates themselves more than deserve the attention of novice ice lovers for their quality and balanced cost.

The original Russian version of women's walking skates, made taking into account climatic features and stylistic preferences. Boots of the NORDWAY Lily model are made of a rare combination of materials. The inner part of the skates is trimmed with faux fur, while the outer part is made of wear-resistant cotton impregnated with a special moisture-resistant composition. The sole of the boot is rubber, completely eliminating the possibility of cracking with a significant temperature difference.

A nice feature of NORDWAY Lily is the presence of anatomical liners that improve the fit of the boot to the foot, increasing comfort and feeling of ice. Ultimately, this set looks like the perfect choice for beginners, especially given the difficult climatic conditions of Russia. Worthy external characteristics, practicality and reasonable price make NORDWAY Lily one of the most popular models for amateur skiing.

Great skates for the little ones, whose popularity is confirmed by thousands of user reviews. Soft and comfortable, they were made of faux leather with (for the inside) faux fur, so that the child's feet are always warm. Since the model is intended for both boys and girls, the manufacturers have provided for a choice of colors - there are only three of them (black, white and pink), but releasing more did not make any higher sense.

The main advantage of the SK Magic over its competitors is the presence of a double blade on the skates.Such a measure made it possible to make the skates more stable, and the whole process of skating less traumatic. Taking into account all the positive nuances and cost, this kit is the best offer (for children) of all existing ones. Worthy external characteristics, practicality and reasonable price make NORDWAY Lily one of the most popular models for amateur skiing.

German skates for children and teenagers are of high quality workmanship and allow beginners to confidently go on the ice. The sliding boot allows you to take skates for growth (very important for children), allowing you to change the length of the sole within three sizes (in the range from 28 to 39 sizes). HUDORA Set HD is available in colors for both boys and girls.

For the manufacture of the boot, combined synthetic materials are used, which not only provide a reliable fixation of the skate on the leg, but also make the equipment one of the lightest in the category of sliding models. Reliable protection of the heel and shin allows you not only to engage in amateur skating, but also to fight in a hockey match. The quality of the high-carbon steel blades (quite comparable to skates from brands like Bauer or Jackson) ensures excellent gliding on ice even for beginners.

An excellent choice for children and teenagers, as well as everyone who is just starting to skate on ice, is offered by the KHL brand.The combined model allows you to change the blade of the skate to rollers (four in a row with a brake on the back) - the best solution for those who purchase this equipment for entertainment purposes. At the same time, the boot itself is sliding (with a locking button under the heel), which allows you to use the skates for quite a long time, despite the rapid growth of the legs in children.

The design is a hard plastic case with artificial leather, which integrates a soft sock-boot, which provides warmth in winter and comfortable positioning of the foot. Rigid three-point fixation securely holds the boot on the leg. The heel is fully protected by hard plastic, which allows the equipment to be used in amateur hockey matches. Of particular convenience is the prudent sharpening of the blades by the manufacturer. As a result, this allows you to purchase skates that are ready to go on the ice, which in many situations (for example, when KHL Combos are received as a gift) matters.

One of two sets of ICE BLADE sliding skates, rightfully taking its place in the ranking of the best. This model was presented to the general public before the start of the 2015/2016 season, so there was enough time for rigorous and impartial testing among the female half of the users.

According to their feedback, the ergonomics and design of the skates have been thought through to the smallest detail. So, one of the advantages of ICE BLADE Bonnie was that instead of an inner lining with soft thermal fabric, a special stocking was placed inside the boot.Its advantage over the lining is obvious: after rolling, it can be taken out and thoroughly dried, thereby slightly extending the service life of the set. Also noteworthy is the installed high-carbon steel blade with a special protective coating against corrosion, additional reinforcement of the toe and heel, and the excellent design of the "composition" worthy of the highest praise.

ICE BLADE Skyline is the case when the external design becomes almost the first reason for including inventory in the rating. In fact, these skates are almost a complete repetition of the set (in terms of technology) presented above: the same plastic body (but much more creative in design), the same high-carbon blades with anti-corrosion coating and the same feeling from rolling.

However, there are a couple of key changes. Instead of a separate stocking, Skyline uses synthetic trim - not the best option in terms of care, but it performs its main functions properly. There is also a difference in the method of fixation on the leg: here a combined method is used (laces + standard clips), which tightens the ankle well and provides a sharper feeling of ice. In general, the main factor in the choice is excellent customization, in addition to which a low market value is attached.

On the first line of the rating is a universal teenage set of sliding skates, the size range of which includes models from 33 to 40 sizes inclusive.The sliding mechanism allows you to adjust the size by four units (for example, from 33 to 37), so that the skates can be used for four to five seasons. As expected in this case, the boot is completely made of plastic, and its interior is lined with synthetics to keep the heat inside the skates.

In terms of appearance, the complaints are minimal: the manufacturers managed to create a color scheme that does not bother either boys or girls, and fits into the framework of universality. The only vain step of the manufacturers was to equip the kit with a large number of small elements, since they all fall out of the general background.
