Prevent rear falls
Indentations hidden within the rear contour of the blade involuntary and automatically engage the ice, when the blades slips under the skater to the point that a fall is inevitable.
Based on scientifically tested theories of movement. Newton's 1st physical law of motion; an object either remains at rest or continues to move at a constant velocity, unless acted upon by an external force.
The indentations engage the ice (external force) and disrupts the skates forward inertia (constant velocity). This disrupts the angular momentum and rotates the skater forward.
It allows the skater a moment to counteract, realign and stabilize their centre of gravity, thus catching one's balance. When balance is caught, a potential rear fall and injury is prevented.
Skate aid
Interior indentations hidden within the front contour of the blade allow the skater to voluntarily engage the ice surface, to assist with balance and basic skating skills.

What parents are saying about Balance Blades
Danielle Freedman on October 8, 2018: "Just wanted to say thank you for the great product! Got them for our son for his 3rd bday and went skating yesterday! The design of the skates really helped him get his balance he could stand alone and go 4-5 feet by himself. Pretty great for his first time. Looking forward to many more skate sessions and eventually hockey!"
Sarah P. on April 17, 2018: "I am a skating instructor, so my 3 year old begs to go skating with me. We had tried him on regular skates multiple times in the past, but he spent most of his time falling. These have been the best purchase! They have given him the confidence that he can skate on his own and now he chases me all over the ice! I love that Balance Blades has made it so easy for my little guy to love skating and given us a new fun way to spend time together!"
Casey C. on April 17, 2018: "My son is 4 and they were the best thing for him starting to learn this winter! Once he got on the balance bode skates, he really enjoyed going to lessons! Recommend for all children learning to ice skate!"
