From Our Door to Yours

Speedy delivery and stress-free returns. Shopping made simple.

The Howies Skate Guards are built for players who take their edge seriously. These extra beefy guards offer maximum protection to eliminate off-ice blade damage, keeping your skates sharp and game-ready every time you hit the ice.

Made with dense terry cloth lining, they cushion your blades and absorb moisture to help prevent rust. Whether you're walking through the rink or storing your skates between sessions, these guards are designed to protect your steel and extend sharpening life.

Each pair includes a player number plate, so you can mark your gear and make sure your wheels stay yours. With a snug fit and durable build, they’re trusted by players who know the pain of losing an edge mid-move.

If you’ve ever slid away from a legendary toe drag, you know how important blade protection is. That’s why Howies built these guards—to keep your edges sharp and your confidence high. Now, the only thing you can blame is the blue line
