     Scientists believe it has emerged in Europe more than 10 thousand years ago when humans had to cross frozen lakes in the icy winter. Archaeological findings confirm that animal’s bones were used as ice skates in places like Germany, Russia, Sweden, Scandinavia and Great Britain. Back then, the bones were tied under the feet by leather strings. The Dutch invented the metal blades to replace the bones in the 13th and 14th centuries, coupled to the shoes that were used in that time.
