FAST ENTRY ELASTIC VAMP CLOSURE SKATE

摘要

A skate (10) includes a substantially nonrigid upper (12) secured to a base (14). The skate includes a vamp portion (28) defining a vamp opening (30), and a tongue (32) disposed beneath the vamp opening. An elastic web (34) spans across the vamp opening to compress the upper about a skate's foot. The elastic web transmits compressive force to the undrelying tongue for distribution over a greater area of the foot.
