How were the first ice skates made?

Answer 1

The first skates were deer-skin leather straps with long, bone blades that could bee tied to the bottom of a shoe. As they evolved to wood, people began to use them more for recreation than traveling and moving things easier over the ice. The blades were shortened down with a toe pick and boot added. "Speedskates" which were essentially the first kind of skate, are still used. Metal and plastic have taken over the fine wood and leather boots that are almost impossible to find. Figure skates have not evolved as much as speedskates, and hockey skates are more recent. They were made of wood, with fitted boots, and are now large and built for tough support.
