Abstract
A skate comprises a chassis with a variable length boot disposed thereon. The variable length boot includes a heel portion fixedly disposed upon the chassis and a toe box slidably disposed upon the chassis. The toe box is slidable in relation to the heel along the longitudinal axis of the skate to increase or decrease the size of the boot. A locking mechanism attached to the toe box locks the toe box to the chassis at a selected position. The selected position is chosen from a plurality of spaced-apart slots disposed within the chassis. The locking mechanism includes a positionable clasp insertable into a selected slot to lock the toe box to the chassis at the selected position.
