ice skates
Boots with blades
Ice skates are boots with metal blades attached to the soles, worn to glide across ice.
The blade's thin edge allows smooth movement with minimal friction.
Ice skates come in varieties for different purposes: figure skates have toe picks for jumps and spins, hockey skates prioritize speed and maneuverability, and speed skates feature long flat blades.
As a verb, to ice skate is to move on ice wearing them: We ice skated on the frozen pond.
