The two holes at the front allow you to stick your skating pole through the blade and into the ice to hold the blade upright as you step onto it. At the time it was thought that automatic step-in bindings would become popular for Nordic skating, but they never did, so the holes were later eliminated.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nordic Skater","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52025495421144,"sku":null,"price":129.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/nordicskater.com\/products\/almgrens-vintage-nordic-skates","provider":"Nordic Skater","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
