Back and better than before, the BAUER WHISTLER 2.0 Glides bring an elevated look and feel to our most popular lifestyle skate. Featuring thicker foams for added comfort, an improved sherpa liner to keep you warm, and a soft nubuck leather outer that helps these skates stand out on the ice, every lap around an outdoor rink will feel like magic. Features Elevated Look: Nubuck leather - similar to a soft suede - and brass hardware take these skates' style to a whole new altitude. Warm and Cozy: Thick comfort padding and an improved sherpa collar, paired with a wool felt liner, make these skates feel like you've just walked into a warm cabin after a day out in the snow. Pre-Sharpened: Head straight to the ice. These skates come right out of the box with a standard sharpening ( 1/2" radius) and are profiled for optimal balance and glide - perfect for beginners.
