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