Skates that last
MLX is constructed from aircraft grade composites
Other hockey skates are usually made with either plastic or leather, which
means they eventually start to wear out. Once the wearing out begins, you
may get used to your skate but not notice that it's resulting in you
underperforming.
Over the past 20 years, speed skaters have been using composite because
the performance is much more responsive, and the skate is lighter, which
uses a lot less energy.

Real protection from the puck
When composite takes a shot, it will disperse energy away from your
foot. A typical skate will cave in, transferring the force directly to your
foot and then rebound back to its normal shape, meaning your foot took
most of the impact which usually results in serious injury.

Typical hockey skates require you to repair or replace the skate if
your tendon guard breaks. Many NHL players break their tendon
guards frequently, but luckily, they have NHL salaries that allow
them to buy another pair of skates.
On MLX, our tendon guards are attached to the skates. If they
break, you can replace them. They screw and unscrew with an allen
wrench in about a minute. You can't do that with any other skate.

Case Study - MLX Skates Protect Malkin
Malkin took a slapper off his foot late in the second period of a 2010 win last
season, 2-1 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning. He didn’t return for the final
period, and there was concern he’d be sidelined with a fracture, but the the x-rays
were negative, and Malkin is listed as day-to-day.
If you were watching the game and saw Geno go down, you might have thought you were
witnessing the beginning of the end. In actuality, you were watching the MLX ice hockey
skate do exactly what it was designed to do—disperse the puck’s energy away from the
foot and keep players from being injured.
When a normal ice hockey skate is met with a slap shot, it absorbs the energy inward.
And what is inside a skate? A foot. A foot with a lot of bones—26, to be exact—that can
break. And broken bones mean missed games. The skate itself will return to normal form,
but all that energy from the slapshot has been transferred to your foot, which could be very
dangerous.
The MLX ice hockey skate is designed differently. Made from composite materials, the
support structure takes the energy from the same slap shot and disperses it along the
boot of the skate, away from those 26 bones inside. For the record, that doesn’t mean it
won’t hurt, but the composite design gives players increased protection from stick and
puck alike.
