The Zandstra Nordic 4562 is a premium detachable ice skate system designed for versatile winter sports use. These combination skates feature a removable skate shoe that easily attaches and detaches from the blade frame via a practical binding mechanism, allowing for convenient transportation and storage. The semi-soft shoe construction provides optimal support while maintaining comfort during extended use. Available in sizes 37-47, this model in size 42 corresponds to a blade length of 41 cm. The shoe incorporates a specialized anti-slip outsole profile for secure walking on various surfaces, eliminating the need for additional traction aids. A unique flex system ensures reliable energy return during skating motions without requiring elastic components. The blade is precision-milled from lightweight Delta Profile steel with a thickness of 1.25 mm and a factory-rounded radius of 27 meters. Constructed with tool steel hardened to 60Rc for exceptional durability, the blade features a total height of 27 mm and maintains the standard 9 mm heel-to-sole height difference for proper skating posture. The frame utilizes high-quality 7000 series aluminum alloy with an epoxy blue finish for corrosion resistance and structural integrity. Interior comfort is enhanced by a Thinsulate-lined insole that provides thermal insulation in cold conditions. These skates perform effectively on both natural ice and artificial rink surfaces, making them suitable for various ice conditions. The integrated shoe component is specifically designed for this skate system and is not available separately. For optimal fit, it is recommended to select one size larger than your regular shoe size to accommodate winter socks and ensure proper comfort during skating activities.
