Flite Hockey takes foot protection seriously in its skate design. The FLITE Hockey CX-85 Chaos Hockey Skate is an entry level skate. The PVC leather with high density foam boot provides comfort and protection. It provides good ankle support for a powerful stride. A metatarsal protection cover is inserted in the tongue of the boot. When the boot is laced, the cover acts like a protective dome over the player's foot. This transfers energy from impact across the tongue of the skate providing maximum protection from foot injury.
