Long description
Pair of hockey skates, size 4. Made by Koho. The style of the skates is Koho 3320. The skates are unworn. The skates consist of a pair of boots with a plastic sole and blade holder with a metal blade. The boots are made of synthetic textile and leather (synthetic?) in black and silver. On the outside ankle of each boot is a logo in red, black and white with a 'K'. The back of each boot has been decorated with silver flashes and 'Koho 3320' in red and silver. The boots are laced with a cotton and metallic thread braid lace. There are nine pairs of eyelets on each boot and each eyelet is strengthened by a black metal rivet. The tongue of each boot bears the Koho name and is lined with a padded felt-like textile. On the underside of the tongue there is a stitched label which reads 'Koho Designed in Concus au Canada'. The boots are lined with black synthetic textile and padded in places. The insoles of the boots read 'Koho' '4' and 'Made in China'. The soles of the boots are made of white plastic. Attached to these are white plastic blade holders with 'Koho' and 'Excalibur' printed on them. The brand 'Koho' has also been moulded into the blade holders. A curved metal blade has been screwed into the blade holders. [MdeA 18/08/2006]
