Universal protection for every type of skate
Whether you ride on speed skates, hockey skates, or figure skates, these hard guards from Nice are designed to fit almost any blade. Thanks to the flexible yet sturdy plastic and the spring system, you can easily pull them over your blades. This prevents your sharp edges from getting damaged when walking from the locker room to the ice.
Customization and maintenance
Since this is a universal model, you may need to cut or saw the guards to size for shorter blades (such as on figure skates or smaller sizes). This is a standard task for this type of hard guard. Additionally, make sure to dry your blades thoroughly before putting the guards on; trapped moisture inside a plastic guard can quickly lead to rust.
Frequently asked questions
Are these skate guards suitable for all sizes?
Yes, they are generally universal. For smaller sizes or specific figure skates, you may need to shorten the plastic yourself with a small saw or utility knife to get the perfect fit.
Can I walk on asphalt with these guards?
While they are meant to protect your blades when walking to the rink (e.g., over mats or tiles), hard plastic wears down faster if you walk on rough asphalt frequently. Use them mainly for short distances around the rink.
How do I prevent my blades from rusting inside the guards?
Always dry your skates thoroughly with a towel before putting the guards on, and remove them immediately when you get home to let them air dry. For long-term storage, soft terrycloth soakers are recommended instead.
