The main difference between short track and long track skates is the boot height. Short track skates are built higher to provide additional ankle support, due to the tighter curves and higher pressure in short track skating. Unlike long track races held on a 400-meter oval, short track skating takes place on a 111.11-meter rink, which means sharper turns and more explosive movements.
At Waterman Sport, we understand that every skater has their own preferences. That’s why we offer a wide selection of short track skates: so you can find a pair that fits your style, goals, and level.
Short track skates consist of two main components: the blade and the boot. Both sold separately in our webshop.
Boots and blades are mounted using precision screws and alignment points, creating a secure bond that ensures maximum power transfer.
