Technical Materials
All outside materials have been carefully selected for durability and overall performance. All materials are Synthetic with micro fiber backing.

Performance Fiber Lining
High quality micro fiber lined with lightweight nylon to prevent stretching and increase the life of the shoe. Performance Fiber Lining can be worn with our without socks. However, we always recommend wearing a thin sock to reduce smell and increase the life of the shoe. Always place your skates in a warm, dry, well ventilated area between skating sessions.

The Perfect Shell
