If you need a skate that can handle heavy impacts and provide support, the XF Pro delivers on both fronts. The boot is incredibly stiff, locking your foot in place and providing good energy transfer. The SpeedBlade steel is razor-sharp and holds an edge. They're a bit heavier than some other skates on the market, but the trade-off in terms of protection and performance is well worth it.
