The Zandstra Ving Klapschaats is a versatile speed skating shoe designed for both training and recreational use. This unisex model features a semi-soft shoe construction with a hard heel cup for optimal ankle support and comfort. The closure system combines a high-speed buckle, a Velcro strap, and traditional lacing for a secure, customizable fit. The Zytel ST plastic frame with an aluminum tube offers a durable yet lightweight construction, while the pivot point mounted through the tube creates a lower profile compared to competition models and enhances stability for various ice conditions. The pre-ground stainless steel blade measures 1.25 mm in thickness with a hardness of 60 Rc and features a 25-meter radius curve for gliding performance. A unique dual-function design allows for conversion between a clap skate and fixed blade configuration by removing a pin from the chassis, providing flexibility for different skating preferences and techniques. The black and silver color scheme presents a professional appearance, while the synthetic and textile materials ensure durability and breathability. Available in size 43, these skates fit advanced to experienced skaters seeking reliable performance across multiple disciplines. The maintenance-free pressure spring mechanism ensures consistent blade return without regular adjustments. The combination of technical features makes these skates suitable for speed training, fitness skating, and recreational use on properly maintained ice surfaces.
