These hockey skate booties will help make the perfect NHL opening day outfit for a new little NHL star or big hockey fan. These hockey skate booties are crocheted out of acrylic yarn in the traditional hockey skate colors of black, grey and white. Due to the knitted blades at the bottom of the booties, these hockey skates are strictly for lounging and reclining (not for walking, running or skating).
Hockey skate booties do lack a toe pick, so if your little one might be more inclined to pirouette on the ice than to pass the puck, knitted figure skating booties can also be purchased.
