Tool Help

Help: Skate Feel

The skate feel tool captures a quick subjective check-in about confidence, comfort, edge feel, and boot fit.

Use it for

  • noting whether skates felt stable, grippy, slippy, too sharp, dull, soft, stiff, or uncomfortable
  • separating boot fit concerns from sharpening or blade setup concerns
  • giving a fitter or technician context that numbers alone cannot capture

Good notes include

  • what skill or movement caused the feeling
  • whether the feeling changed after warm-up
  • whether one foot or one direction felt different
