Answer 2

Figures skates are made out of nylon, plastic, steel, leather and many other synthetic materials. The leather is very important part of the material, because it needs to be cleaned and tanned to proper specifications. The most popular leather used for figure skates is kangaroo leather. Because figure skating takes place on ice, it is important to use materials that are water-resistant. That is why molded plastic and knit nylon are perfect for figure skates. The quality of the blades is essential, and they are made out of tempered steel, titanium and high-end chrome. The other synthetic materials that are involved with making a figure skate are cements, lace and stitching threads. So that is the info FYI they were made of lots of things.
