Abstract
A skate comprises a chassis with a variable length boot disposed thereon. The variable length boot includes a toe portion fixedly disposed upon the chassis and a heel portion slidably disposed upon the chassis. The heel portion is slidable in relation to the toe portion along the longitudinal axis of the skate to increase or decrease the size of the boot. A locking mechanism attached to the heel portion locks the heel portion to the chassis at a selected position. The selected position is chosen from a plurality of spaced-apart slots disposed within the chassis. The locking mechanism includes a positionable clasp insertable into a selected slot to lock the heel portion to the chassis at the selected position.
