What is the difference in the figure skates and hockey skates?

I can skate with figure skates, can i also skate with hockey? what is the difference between the 2 boots.xks?

  • Answer:

    The figure skate has a set of teeth on the front, which allows you to "dig" into the ice and do all sorts of jumps and pirouettes. The back of the blade on the skate is not closed: it sticks out past the heel. This allows you to glide a little better. Chances are, if you can skate on figure skates, you will be OK with hockey skates. Just learn how to stop as soon as you can ;-)

The blade is also a little thicker on hockey skates- provides more stability
