Best Answer

The basic position and quick short movements required are not easy to achieve in player skates.

Also, the goalie skates are designed to prevent the puck from passing through them and to protect the insides of the goalie's foot when the goalie stops the puck down low. And Since I'm a goalie i should know this, not only is are goalie skates use from passing through them and to protect the insides of the goalie's foot when the goalie stops the puck down low. IT also allows goalies to push around their crease easier with a point toe and heel on the blade of the skate.

How long does pumps in hockey skates last?

The pumps for the regular RBK skates last about 1 year. To make it last longer I recommend to release the pump everytime you use them, because if you dont the pressure builds up inside the air pocket and can cause the pump to wear down. Use about 10-12 pumps per skate, or whatever supports your ankle. However, for the goalie skates they probably last quite longer.
