Is Womens Hockey Skate Different?

Defined Tag: Womens Hockey Skate.

Women’s hockey is a field of hockey which is getting increasingly popular. This has led to a specialized line of equipment for these women athletes. But where exactly is the difference between general men’s equipment, and women’s equipment?

Womens hockey skate also bears extended ankle support. Fitted foam pads on a womens hockey skate lock the ankle in place, but the extension often has a contoured edge to further ‘grip’ women’s ankles, which are more delicate than men’s. Some models also carry a split throat cut at the ankle extension, to ensure a better grip and to allow ease of movement. Anatomically shaped padding also helps in this task.

Contoured seams on the whole shoe provide better grip and support. These allow for a ‘closer to the foot’ support, yet without decreasing the flexibility and comfort of the shoe. Efficiency is also enhanced this way, with more ease of forward and lateral flex.

Womens hockey skate is also lighter than the men’s counterpart. Made with light to medium weight material, some models can be worn by athletes at all levels of the game, be it beginner, advanced and professional, or even old-timer’s hockey.

Most often than not, its quarter side panels are made with medium-stiff leather. Of medium stiffness, womens hockey skate allows for greater comfort and ease of movement. This also makes it an easy to fit shoe. The specific design of the skate also allows for easier ‘breaking-in’.

Some models are even thermo-heat moldable, which allows for a better, more customized fit. The process takes between 7 to 10 minutes to fit to the inserted foot. The inserted foam pads and guards then kick in to provide further support, comfort, and ease of movement.

The inside liner of womens hockey skate is most often in Nylex, or in ‘breathable’ micro fiber. Outsole most often comprises of composite dry mesh sensory material.
