Skate Profile - Forward Centre of Gravity Rear profile shifts the skater's centre of gravity slightly forward Upper profile follows the lines of the leg increasing the range of movement and increasing lateral support Rolled Protective Collars - Increased Range of Movement Made of durable, soft microfiber with internal padding Padding complememts the anatomical design and increases the range of motion Anatomical Tongue - Providing Support Flexible tongue allows you to move your ankle effortlessly and to bend easily from the first time you lace up your skates.Made of 2 separate parts. The longitudinal curve and the transverse curve. Reduces strain and risk of injury. Longitudinal curve supports the leg while bending Transverse curve wraps the instep for better comfort Tongue rigidity varies by model. Softer for entry level models, more rigid for advanced models. Anatomical Shell - Made of Thermoforming Materials The unique Edea lasts (the shape used to make skate boots) are shaped for exceptional comfort without pressure points. They work for many different foot shapes. The warmth of your foot adjust the padding to wrap around your feet Tri-foil thermoforming materials made from elastomeric polymers. Anatomically shaped during production with heat. High Density Memory Foam Padding - The Ultimate in Comfort Supports the ankle and holds the heel in place Ensures a fast and easy break-in time Quick drying open cell air-tech microfiber lining means slow bacteria build-up SH Microfibre Interior Linings are Hypo-Allergenic A combination of natural and synthetic fibers which are less prone to wear Hypo-allergenic materials mean quick drying time, slow bacteria build-up and improved boot hygiene Innovative Sole System - Eliminating Twist & Torque The Edea sole has 2 layers. A lightwweight honeycomb layer and a thinner ventilated membrane. These two materials combine to provide a lower center of gravity and better feel for deeper edges. The Honeycomb Layer Made of a macro-molecualr structure which improves impact resistance and structural strength. Reinforced in the middle to eliminate twist and torque during demanding skating elements. It dampens negative vibrations which reduces skater fatigue. Ventilated Membrane Is a mould resistant non-organic material. It is light and thinner helping the foot stay cooler. Secured Lacing - Anatomy of Edea's Patended Hooks Edea Hooks According to Edea's research - The hold and comfort of a boot starts with the hooks! Paired with the Edea lacing method, this combo ensures maximum support, comfort and performance from your skate boots. (Looser on the upper hooks / Tighter across the instep / Looser across the toes) Hook Material Patended crush proof carbon steel hook Hooks are tempered to improve strength Hooks are galvanized to reduce corrosion Hook Design Wider at the base Longer and rounded edges This design makes lacing easier and hold longer Hook Placement The wider base of the hook is sewn inise the boot's upper The hooks are placed lower to keep laces more secure when wrapped This unique position reduces pressure on ankles giving you more comfort Double Helix Threaded Screws - Superior Hold for Longer With the sole being thinner in design than traditional skate soles, a shorter screw was required. Superior hold for better performance. The double helix threaded screws increase the 'bite' surface ensuring a tigher lock, holding significanlty longer Made of 100% galvanized steel which protects against rust and corrosion How much pressure should I apply while lacing? Edea recommends Looser across the toes Tighter across the instep Looser on the upper hooks for more flexibility. Edea Overture White Ice Skates
