As a result, speed skating blades are very long, with narrow and flat blades, so the ice area has greater frictional resistance, and the waist of the shoe is shorter, which lowers the body's center of gravity and reduces air resistance. Hockey programs are very durable and require good maintenance practices. As a result, hockey skates have a very stiff toe, a high waist, a thick upper, the body of the skate is short, and it has a large curvature to facilitate skaters. Flexibility to move and change the direction of the slider on the ice.
