Zandstra Competition Nordic Ice Skates

The Zandstra Competition Nordic Ice Skates are high-performance Nordic skating blades optimized for speed skating on 400m ovals, indoor/outdoor rinks, and fast natural ice tracks – ideal for cross-country skiers wanting race-level glide and control using their skate-style XC ski boots.

Featuring very sharp bimetal steel runners (same quality as top competition speed skates) with a small 23m radius for aggressive edge control, quick acceleration, and precise turns on ovals. The blunt front runner tip makes cornering easier on tight 400m tracks. The platform includes hardware for mounting Rottefella or Salomon screw-in bindings (XC skate boots with ankle support recommended for best performance).

Your heel stays free for the full "clap-skate" feel, extending pushes and delivering powerful strides. Surprisingly easy to adapt to – perfect for competitive Nordic skaters or those training on Ottawa rinks and frozen surfaces!
