What Are Holders and Runners
Holders are the blade mounts attached to the boot, while runners are the steel blades inserted into those holders. Replacing or upgrading these parts can help restore performance or adapt skates to player preferences.
They are commonly used with ice hockey skates and can also be relevant for goalie skates depending on the setup.
Who Should Choose Holders and Runners
Holders and runners are best for:
-
players replacing worn steel
-
skaters upgrading blade performance
-
players maintaining their long-term skate setup
How to Choose Holders and Runners
Focus on:
-
compatibility with your skate model
-
runner profile and steel quality
-
holder fit and mounting requirements
They work best as part of a complete hockey setup, together with tools and blade guards to support reliable skate maintenance and protection.
