The appropriate level of support is critical  to skater performance and injury prevention. Selecting a skate that is too stiff for the skater's ability and physical characteristics can seriously impede the flexibility necessary to perform and develop skating skills. It can also result in injury as the skater is unable to properly break-in the skate. A skate that is too soft will result in a lack of support, impacting performance and can lead to premature breakdown of the skates.

Boots are matched with the appropriate introductory Ultima blade in accordance with the skater's skill level.
