The Zandstra Comfort Nordic High Ice Skate Model 4562 in black, size 47, is designed for male winter sports activities on natural and artificial ice surfaces. These Nordic-style skates feature a removable skate shoe system with a binding mechanism that allows for easy attachment and detachment of the shoe from the skate frame. The updated semi-soft shoe construction provides increased comfort while maintaining structural support. A specialized profile on the outsole ensures reliable slip resistance for secure footing on surfaces other than ice. The innovative flex system allows for appropriate energy return during skating movements without the use of elastic components, contributing to efficient power transfer. The skate blade is precision-ground from lightweight delta-profile steel, offering optimal gliding properties and durability. Inside the shoe, a comfortable lining with Thinsulate insulation provides thermal protection against cold exposure. The design maintains a conventional height difference of 9 mm between the heel and sole for proper skating posture and technique. Technical specifications include tool steel construction for the blades with a hardness of 60 Rockwell, epoxy blue frame, components made from 7000 series aluminum alloy, and 1.25 mm thick glide steel. The total blade height is 27 mm with a factory-set curvature radius of 27 meters. The shoes are integrated into the skate system and are not available separately. This model combines technical performance features with practical design elements suitable for recreational and fitness skating under various winter conditions.
