-
Elite-Level
Elite-level ice hockey skates are built for the best performance, protection, durability, and comfort. These players are usually on the ice three times or more a week and are playing high-level hockey.
Built to last, the 5X4 features great impact resistance by the improved shell layering, stainless steel rivets, and PU leather side panels. Internally, the Clarino liner locks the foot in place to ensure the boot stays connected with the foot during strong pushes.
Down low, the Shift Attack Holder features Postlock, a design in which the holder better shapes the post. This gives goalies more stability and power when pushing off the post for a quick cross-crease save. The holder also features True's BenchChange Technology, allowing for quick runner replacement and more space to feed leg pad straps through.
