Aggressive Skate Boots

Varieties of Aggressive Skate Boots

These boots are crafted to endure significant impacts and grinds, whether executing tricks at the skatepark or on the street. Typically, all aggressive skate boots are compatible with UFS, allowing them to mount most varieties of aggressive skate frames. There are primarily two types of aggressive skate boots: Hard shell boots and soft shell boots.

The most sought-after are the hard shell aggressive boots. This boot comprises a plastic shell enclosing a removable liner, offering a snug fit that safeguards skaters from the majority of shock impacts during stunts.

Soft shell aggressive boots provide excellent support along with enhanced comfort and flexibility. They include reinforced sections on the most exposed areas, which makes them ideal for grinds. Nonetheless, if advanced tricks and high jumps are in your plans, you might prefer a pair of hard shell boots.

Optimal Tightness for Aggressive Skate Boots

These boots should fit snugly without causing discomfort to the wearer. It is important to be able to wiggle your toes, ensuring there are no pressure points. When trying a new pair of aggressive skates, ensure there is minimal to no side-to-side movement.

Most support originates from the cuff, so you can tighten your laces and buckles as much as possible for maximum responsiveness. The required tightness also relates to the skates' structure. Soft shell boots need to be fastened tightly for increased stability, whereas hard shell boots inherently offer more support due to their plastic build.
