What is the difference between figure skates and hockey skates?

  • Answer:

    Figure skates fit your foot,have longer blades with a toe pick in front and an extended blade in back. They are to be laced tighter around the ankles for support. Hockey skates are larger,blade is slightly shorter than the boot, blade is round both front and back. They are laced loosely so that the skater has more movement for quicker stops and so they can change directions.

Figure skates have blades that are longer and have a toe pick (the jagged thing on the end) and they are typically easier to skate in because of this. Here are a picture of figure skates and a picture of hockey skates so you can see the difference http://www.northerniceanddance.com/store_/images/280.jpg (figure skate) http://www.americanhockeycenter.com/hockey_skates/images/b_pantera.jpg (hockey skate)

Ice skates blades are more curved.. they are wider.. and since the way to skate in ice hockey differs from that of figure skating.. the skate blades are also different.. figure skates also have a toe pick which could be dangerous, and are harder to skate in.
