Special skating equipment for goalkeepers

Goaltender skates differ from regular offensive or defensive player skates. Goaltenders tend to move around lot less than regular players, but they are usually in a lot more contact. Goalie does need to knee, jump, then get up quite often. For this reason, the focus of goalies skates is not speed and maneuverability, but stability and durability.

These skates are wider, flatter and longer to both provide more stability. Goalkeepers skates get caught up with players sticks and the puck quite often, so the design and the material used needs to provide more durability for the skate. Blades of a goalie skate are usually made from stainless steel, titanium nitrate, carbon steel or similar combinations.

The blade is designed to provide a stable stance for a player. The blade used to be lower to provide more stability, but nowadays usually is higher so it would be easier for goalie to provide a wide stance without losing contact between the blade and the ice. The shoe part of the skate is designed to withstand hits from sticks and pucks, as well as other skate blades. This makes it heavier than an average skate, but it is vital for protection.
