The Zandstra Ving Klapschaats is a versatile unisex speed skating model that functions both as a traditional skate with a fixed blade and as a folding skate through an innovative mechanism. This dual-function design allows skaters to switch between conventional and folding skate configurations by removing a pin from the chassis. The skate features a semi-soft shoe construction with a hard shell section at the heel for optimal support and comfort. The closure is achieved through a high-speed lacing system, complemented by a Velcro strap and traditional laces for a secure fit adjustment. The framework utilizes a durable Zytel ST plastic construction with an integrated aluminum tube, creating a flatter profile than competitive models for increased stability. The pivot point is mounted through the tube with a maintenance-free compression spring mechanism. The blade is made from pre-hardened stainless steel with a hardness rating of 60 Rc, measuring 1.25 mm in thickness with a 25-meter radius curve for optimal ice contact and performance. The skate is presented in a sophisticated black-silver color scheme using synthetic materials, textile components, and steel elements throughout the construction. Size 47 accommodates various foot dimensions while maintaining the technical specifications required for serious skating applications. The combination of materials and construction offers a balanced approach to speed skating, providing the technical advantages of folding skate technology while retaining the reliability of traditional fixed-blade performance when needed.
