What is a Street Hockey Skate?
Michalis 'BIG Mike' Kotzakolios


Defined Tag:

Contrary to the most common forms of hockey, like ice hockey, and grass hockey, street hockey has a more urbane feel to it. Is it strange then to find much of this same echo in the street hockey skate?

The major difference with the street hockey skate is that is ‘runs’ on a row of inline roller wheels. Often also called roller hockey skates, these skates bear much resemblance to what is commonly known as roller-skates. However, this is where the comparison ends, for these street roller skates are tools for professionals, and as such, bear much of the pro world specifics.

The first element which bears this issue is the ankle support. All models of street hockey skate bear extended ankle support. Anatomically adapted ankle support provides lightweight support professionals of street hockey look for. Foam ankle pockets also automatically form to the ankle upon first wear, thus ensuring customized and maximum comfort, support, and protection.

Fitted foam and pads along the inside of the street hockey skate also allow for customized fit, and help to reduce the need to ‘break-in’ the shoe prior to first use.

High-density molded lace-bite guard helps distribute lace pressure more evenly, and on most models, covers the full length of the foot to provide maximum comfort and protection. Integrated systems also ensure best fit for increased control, protection, and more ease of forward and lateral flex.

Some models of the street hockey skate provide anti microbial liners, often in microfiber, and these liners also give an optimal blend of comfort, durability, and moisture protection. Vented toecaps on some of the shoes allow for protection, durability, and ventilation.

Available in a variety of colors, ranging from black, and other dark colors, to more futuristic grays and flashy silvers, the street hockey skate weighs an average of 1300 grams, has a chassis most often made with stamped aluminum, single sided locking or flush mount steel axle system, standard central spacer, and wheels with hyper razor edge.
