Description
Boot: The S-Lab Skate Pro is the most rigid Salomon boot. The connection at the front of the shoe is placed slightly backwards so that the hinge point lies closer under the ball of the foot, this improves your balance whilst skating. This boot is for the skater who wants to reach high speeds, and to put a lot of feeling into the skate, without sacrificing comfort and ease of use.
The design of the boot allows your foot to properly settle with sufficient space for the toes. The soft material on the inside of the boot makes it a lot more breathable compared to the usual skating boot. The optimum lateral stability, thanks to the solid shaft, allows you to sit low and get maximum ankle bend. They also make a good walking boot, so you can easily walk to the ice and back by just clipping/unclipping your blades. Of course, the boot can also be used for cross-country skiing and roller skiing.
