Short Track Skates

Choose Short Track Skates and Equipment

Start by deciding whether you need complete short track skates, replacement boots, blades, or maintenance and protective equipment.

A complete setup simplifies component selection. Choosing the boots and blades separately gives experienced skaters more control, but blade length, mounting, boot compatibility, and setup requirements must be confirmed before ordering.

Fit and Boot Selection

Short track boots should hold the heel and midfoot securely for precise control without painful pressure or restricted circulation. Measure both feet, follow the model-specific sizing guidance, and consult your coach or club if you are uncertain.

Some short track boots can be heat molded. Eligibility and instructions vary, so review the individual product information before applying heat.

Blades and Setup

Blade choice depends on the boot, mounting system, skater, and intended level. Confirm the required blade length and mounting compatibility before ordering.

New blades may require inspection, sharpening, bending, rocking, or setup before use. Preparation varies by product, so check the product description and have the blades prepared by an experienced technician when required.
