Abstract

A skate includes a holder frame, a boot, and a locking mechanism. The boot comprises a toe box and a heel portion, wherein the toe box is fixedly attached to the holder frame and wherein the heel portion engages the holder frame such that the heel portion is capable of moving relative to the toe box for adjusting the size of the boot. The skate also comprises a locking mechanism that is operable to selectively position and retain the heel portion in more than one position with respect to the toe box by engagement with the holder frame, wherein the locking mechanism is activatable through a push button.
