Zip Covered Laces
The new zip cover for the laces is something that has not been seen on a hockey shoe and looks like it belongs on the moon! The zippered elastic lace cover provides additional instep support and protection and keeps those pesky laces from undoing themselves and tripping you over.
External Toe Cap
The external TPU toe cap offers additional forefoot protection. Protection has taken a back seat in many years but it is nice to see that it may be on its way back into the minds of shoe manufacturers.
