Why use a stiff skate for beginning and improving?
The cuff (the plastic part on top, also known as a "spoiler") has been developed with one aim in mind: offering optimal foot support. And for (even more) support, the skate has a micrometric buckle, 1 strap, and laces.This support really makes the difference for learning and making progress. The foot is supported and the ankle is mobile so you can face asphalt and urban obstacles (sidewalks, kerbs, etc). This support also promotes good posture.
