Supergard Ice Skate Guard, Black

These skate guards fit easily and stay on when I walk around. They can fit skates of any size and they attach easily. The rubber is tough but I'm a bkt worried about it breaking over time. But it's still a good skate protector that you can walk on easily and won't come off. Solid build but I have my eye on the rubber holding band because if that breaks the holder is done for.

Easily adjustable ...seems to be od good quality...walked around house with them on...and outside as well...Works great...Great grip on many surfaces

Strong & durable. Fits perfectly

I bought these for my 8 year olds hockey skates. They fit perfectly and as long as they are adjusted snugly they stay on great. They are very durable and I like the bright red color so I can easily find them in his bag.

So with my new pro stock skates I have been trying out some new tech that wasn't available back when I last played regularly in the 80s and 90s. I had seen these skate guards used by various people and decided to try them out instead of the traditional skate soakers I had always had previously.So the packaging doesn't do a super great job of explaining how to put these things onto your skates. There are some hieroglyphics that kind of point you into a vague direction of what to do but as a adult man of above average intelligence it took me a solid 5-10 minutes to figure out what to do. To give the hint to everyone else if you were stuck like me, the part that locks onto the back of the skate is removable and you can place it as far up or down as you require to fit the length of your skate. Fitting your skate into the guard takes a little bit when it is brand new. You really have to push to properly seat the toe and to pull the back into the heel. I would imagine this will get easier after using it for awhile and the rubber material stretches out a bit.They seem to protect the blades quite well, I would venture to say perhaps better than traditional skate soakers which while would help keep the blades dry wouldn't always help keep your skates sharpened. Now the manufacturer states several things which I am suspect of; you can walk on them and that they will wisk away water to keep rust away. I am a big guy (6'4, 225) and I am not going to believe that the material can support someone of my size standing on two giant knife blades. As for the the rust thing, I had heard this from various products in the past and I have never trusted it then nor will I now. Do yourself a favor and bring a towel to wipe down your boots and blades before you put the guards back on. While they might do better nothing is full proof.I have had these for a couple of weeks now and seem to be holding up ok. I will check back in a few months for a further trip report.

I always kept this sharpener in the hockey bag but rarely needed it. Until this one day when right before a game, we stopped at the rink shop to get my kid’s skates sharpened. Long story short, they ruined the blades so badly he couldn’t play. Thank God I had this sharpener with me and was able to fix his skates right on the spot. It saved the game. God bless.Two lessons learned: never trust the shop, and always keep this sharpener with you.

I don't skate ay better in these skates than I did on my others. What I can say is - get them sharpened before you use them - yes I know they are supposed to be sharpened already - just do it, you'll thank me later. Once you get them back, put some blade covers on them and wear them around the house. It irritates the kids, my wife gives me funny looks and the dog is terrified of them. What you will find is a comfortable pair of skates that don't need a lot of breaking in, that feel a lot like a sport skate rather than a stiff unyielding ankle breaking performance shoe on top of a razor blade. I love the feel of these skates, and they make me look like I can skate - which is a lie but at least I have to prove it on the ice and not because I strapped a pair of men's figure skates on my old ankles and had to skate in pain. These are really comfortable ice skates, something I never through I would live to see.

To those saying they don’t stay on, you have them on too loose! Tighten them an extra unit and then stretch the back part over the skate. I’m ordering a second pair for my kid.
