Eliminate Injuries, Master Technique, and Improve Performance with Proper Blade Alignment. Only from ProSkate!

When it comes to optimizing your skate's performance, nothing is more important than blade alignment.

Blade alignment means positioning the blade on the boot so that your center of gravity is directly over the blade--and it affects everything about the way you skate. 

Proper alignment gives you quick, efficient control of both inside and outside edges...and that translates to significant improvement in performance on the ice.

On the other hand, incorrect blade alignment does more than just hamper performance.  It can cause physical problems like knee strain, lower back pain, and groin injury. We've seen these kinds of injuries dramatically improve just by aligning the blades properly!  Poor blade alignment can also cause premature breakdown of the boot.

Here are tell-tale signs you might need your skates aligned...

  • You have difficulty holding a specific edge without compromising your technique
  • Knee strain
  • Lower back pain
  • Groin injuries
  • Twisting of the boot
  • You notice your everyday shoes show significantly more wear on the inside or outside

When should you align your skates?

Ideally, you should get a custom alignment whenever you purchase a new set of skates (if you buy your skates using ProSkate's proprietary Remote Fitting Process,  you'll receive just that!).  After all, manufacturers mount the blade in the middle of the outer sole of the skate--which is usually NOT your natural center of gravity.

But even if you've had your skates for a while, it might be time to re-align.  Individual conditions like pronation, supination, and unequal leg lengths can create subtle changes in your blade's alignment over time.
