The GEL-VICKKA™ PRO shoe is inspired by the VICKKA™ trainer from the 1970s, which was designed to provide stability during complex workouts. Updated for skating, the upper features a one-piece build that helps stop tears. The sockliner is shaped using skate-specific motion analysis, with differing pressure for better balance and stability. GEL™ tech in the heel reduces shock from hard landings.
