Tour Thor G1 Roller Hockey Goalie Skate Review

Tour Thor G1 Goalie Skate Review

The Tour Thor G1 Goalie Skates provide excellent performance at a great value price.
The Thor G1 goal skates use a new surlyn material in the quarter package to provide a stiff feel but at a lighter weight. The quarter package of the Thor G1 goalie skates uses the same construction as Tour top of the line skates, which means the skates will have a great responsive and stiff boot. Tour has also used some carbon looking overlays in the quarters to provide a sleek look to the Thor G1 skates. 

With the Thor G1 goal skates, Tour has used an enhanced cowling design that is more durable than previous skates, so you can get a longer life out of these skates. Tour has utilized the same great Labeda Predator Pro frames on these skates, but they have raised the skate up a bit more to allow for straps and laces to go through without interfering with the wheels. Tour has introduced their own 59mm Tour Thor Guardian goalie wheel on with these skates along with BEVO Abec 9 bearings.

The Tour Thor Goalie skates use a Clarino leather liner to hep keep the skate dry and provide a comfortable feel on the foot. Under this liner are ankle pockets that have soft foams which also helps to provide a comfortable fit. These skates feature a Custom Lateral Support System which stabilizes the ankle without sacrificing any protection or comfort. Another nice feature of the Thor goal skate is found in tongue. Tour has used some extremely rigid foams to provide excellent lace-bite protection to the top of the foot.
