The Riedell Bruin is an excellent hockey skate choice for recreational skaters looking for quality skates to have fun with that won't break the bank! Classic design meets modern performance in the Bruin recreational hockey skate from Riedell. Durable polyester mesh uppers designed with a timeless hockey look are backed with high density foam and brushed nylon linings that will have you feeling as good as you look, whether you’re out for a casual date skate or playing a pick-up game on the pond with your friends. To give the Bruin the lasting performance you need, the tongues incorporate a supportive EVA foam pad for protection against lace bite, and every pair is fitted with reinforced nylon outsoles, blade holders, and toe caps that have been tested to withstand high impact events should you find yourself in the way of an oncoming slap shot. With comfort where you want it and strength where you need it, the Bruin welcomes you to get out onto the ice time and time again.
