I have bought both types of ice skates in the picture. For the first one, I thought it would be convenient, but after using it, it frequently falls off and the claws also fall off. My friend bought the second one very solidly and I recommend it!
When choosing ice skates suitable for hiking, it is necessary to consider factors such as material, number of teeth, usage environment, and experience requirements
one ⃣ Material: Choose steel with high hardness and toughness to make the ice claws, ensuring their durability and grip.
two ⃣ Number of teeth: The number of teeth on the ice claw should be selected according to the road conditions. Generally speaking, the more teeth there are, the better it can handle complex road surfaces. However, ice claws with less than 6 teeth perform poorly in terms of stability and climbing ability, so it is recommended to choose ice claws with more than 10 teeth.
three ⃣ Usage environment: Choose the appropriate type of ice claw based on the hiking route and climbing needs. Simple ice claws can be chosen for ordinary icy and snowy roads, walking ice claws can be chosen for outdoor hiking, crossing, and mountaineering, and professional climbing ice claws can be chosen for high-altitude exploration and ice climbing.
four ⃣ Experience requirements: Professional climbing ice skates require a high level of user experience, which can be divided into three types based on different usage environments: full card, full strap, and front strap back card.
In addition, the design of ice skates also needs to consider whether they are suitable for pairing with hiking boots to ensure safety and comfort. When making a purchase, it is recommended to consult a professional or choose based on one's own needs and budget
