Recreational-Level
Recreational ice hockey skates are built for the new-to-hockey player or casual skaters that are looking for an affordable option. These are great starter skates, especially for youth players.
-
Performance-Level
Performance-level ice hockey skates are a great fit for players who are confident in their skating stride and are ready to take their on-ice performance to the next level. These players are on the ice 1-2 times a week playing mid-to-high level hockey.
-
Elite-Level
Elite-level ice hockey skates are built for the best performance, protection, durability, and comfort. These players are usually on the ice three times or more a week and are playing high-level hockey.
Daoust was a trusted name at the highest levels of hockey for decades, and the 701 proves they're back with purpose, delivering true pro-level performance, unmatched step-in comfort, and premium construction at a price that's shockingly hard to compete with.
Built around a stiff 70/30 composite boot and a full carbon fiber outsole, the 701 is engineered for modern responsiveness and efficient energy transfer. The added torsional rigidity translates into explosive first steps, powerful full-length strides, and confident edge control for today's fast, aggressive style of play.
Inside, Daoust balances elite performance with legendary comfort. Dual VE Poly foam wraps the foot in a custom-like fit, while the Diamond Proformance Clarino liner provides pro-level durability and moisture management. Whether it's a high-intensity game or a long practice, the 701 keeps feet dry, locked in, and comfortable when performance matters most.
Up top, the reinforced 7mm Pro Felt Tongue features Daoust's highest-level lace-bite guard, protecting against blocked shots, slashes, and heavy impacts. It's fully adjustable and replaceable, allowing players to fine-tune internal fit over time and extends the lifespan so you can replace just the tongue, instead of the entire skate.
For the ultimate fitting experience that can be done without leaving the house, make sure to first Bake Your Skates at Home and then Check for Proper Skate Fit. If you are still unsatisfied with how they fit and feel, simply use the included pre-paid return label.
