Spark is an excellent all-round ice skate for leisure use. Unlike ice hockey or figure skates that usually require a "shrinkage phase" - to make the shaft softer and they get a more comfortable fit - the Spark immediately makes a lot of fun on the ice and offers great comfort, directly "out of the box". It gives you good confidence thanks to the firm side hold and convinces immediately with its harmonious flex and good performance, regardless of your performance level. The Spark is for those who are familiar with the fit of an inline skate or ski boot and don't want to have ice hockey or figure skates. The comfortable, velvety inner lining and footbed keep your feet warm. A perfect ice skate for those who just want to skate. Most skates come with a "factory sharpened blade" to ensure safety during transport. For an optimal grip on the ice, we recommend that you have the blades sanded before the first use.
