- b. a front toe section that is bent vertically relative to a horizontal line so that an angle α is formed between a toe section of the skate boot insole and the horizontal line, said angle α being between 5-30°.
An inner boot of a skate boot, said inner boot being adapted for being treaded onto a foot of a skater like a sock, a toe region of which is open to ensure unrestricted toe movement, said inner boot being formed with airtight flexible inner walls and airtight flexible outer walls so that one or more airtight compartments are obtained, said one or more airtight compartments being provided with a valve so that said one or more airtight compartments are air-inflatable.
A skate assembly comprising at least:
- a) one skate boot, said skate boot comprising at least:
- i. one skate boot insole having a front toe section that is bent vertically relative to a horizontal line so that an angle α is formed between the front toe section of the skate boot insole and the horizontal line, said angle α being between 5-30°,
- ii. one removable cover arranged on an instep part covering an opening in the skate boot,
- iii. one or more tightening means for tightening the skate boot on a foot,
