The skate blades are made of high-strength iron-carbon steel metal alloy. the upper part of the boot is made of 3 layers: nylon or aramid fabric outer layer, a middle layer serves a purpose of absorbing energy, and a final layer thatis waterproof to keep the players feet warm and dry. the toe and and outer sole of the skates are made with a bunch of rigid polymersthat create a type of barrier of support and protection.

yes you can get figure skates but you can also figure skate in normal skates aswell xx
Speed Skates have the longest blade.
The speed skates have longer blades
The first known use of figure skates dates back to the 13th century in Scandinavia, where ice skates made from animal bones were used for both transportation and recreation. However, the first recorded individual to wear figure skates as we know them today is not definitively documented. The transition to modern figure skating began in the 18th century in Europe, particularly in England, where the first metal blade skates were developed, allowing for more intricate movements and styles.
There is a shop for Risport skates in Ljubljana
That's because hockey skates are mainly for speed, and toe picks slow you down, and figure skates have toe picks which gives you more control.
Two words, like figure skates, hockey skates, or roller skates .
They're used for different purposes-- figure skates for jumps and spins and speed skates for speed.

Neither, really. It mostly depends on what you decide to start with. People who skate in hockey skates generally fall over on the toe picks when they try figure skates, and even accomplished figure skaters say they feel like they're gonna fall over when they put on hockey skates. So it's pretty subjective. One thing I can say from personal experience, figure skates encourage much better posture and skating technique than hockey skates, as figure skates require you to straighten your back out much more to skate in/not fall over on the toepicks in them compared to hockey skates, I started in hockey skates and switched to figure like a week ago, so yeah. The only bad part of figure skates is, if you get a higher end pair to just start out in, the toe picks will be close to the ice, so if you lean forward much at all, you'll fall on your face. The other issue is, up to about the 80s, figure skates were made of a single layer of leather, that you could move your ankle around in, like a combat boot. I find these really really hard to skate in, due to the lack of ankle support, compared to hockey boots. I'm sure if you start in them, you can eventually get used to them, but after starting in hockey skates, I could not at all. However, newer figure skates are as stiff/stiffer than most hockey skates, so that's no longer an issue, but I'm just saying this if you find some cheap $20 brand new Chinese "figure skates" or find some older skates at a garage sale or something.
Ice skates are different because they have blades on them and they are designed differently than per Se roller skates. Roller skates have more padding and have wheels on them, while figure skates have blades on them. If one wanted to compare a figure skate to a hockey skate, for example, a hockey skate does not have toe-picks while a figure skate does. Hope this helps :)
