The Luigino Strut Red is a red carbon fiber inline speed skate boot. Put it on the frame you already have, or build a skate around it.
Strut boot features
Blended carbon fiber shell: Light and stiff, with a sole shaped to take wheels up to 125mm.
AquaTech: Heat softens the shell so it molds to the shape of your foot. You can mold it again any time.
Barefoot Technology (BFT): The boot is shaped like a bare foot, so your foot sits in its natural shape.
ProBack: Molded latex foam at the heel and tendon holds your heel in place, and it keeps its shape for the life of the boot.
Nano buckle and waxed laces: They lock your heel in each time you lace up.
Thermafiber: Luigino's composite in the shell, which makes it lighter and stiffer.
Mounting slots: Slots in the sole let you move the frame side to side.
High-density sole padding: Firm padding under your foot for comfort on long skates.
Made for: Inline speed skating, racing, marathons and fitness skating, for juniors and adults.
What we found when we skated it
The first time we skated the Strut, it took much less effort than our usual race boot. We could skate far longer before we needed a rest. Crossovers and the double push felt better and steadier, and the boot felt light. Read our Strut review.
Sizing
