ice skate
Bladed winter boot
An ice skate is a boot with a metal blade attached to the sole, designed for gliding across ice.
The blade's thin edge reduces friction, allowing smooth movement.
To ice skate is to move on ice wearing these: We went ice skating on the frozen pond.
Often shortened to skate when context is clear.
