The Alkali Revel 6 Skates are a perfect pickup for the beginner or casual player looking for good value, performance and comfort. The Revel 6 offers excellent boot support for the price, which makes it perform better and last longer. It is also heat mouldable, which creates a custom-like fit and reduces break-in time before ever hitting the rink. Internally, Alkali used extra-thick ankle foams that provide top-notch comfort right out of the box. They also help to keep the feet comfortably planted inside too. The pro-style felt tongue does a great job of protecting the top of the foot from impacts and lace bite with its thick, reinforced design.
