A shock-absorbing device for a skate, preferably an ice-hockey skate, comprising a surface covering (17) of elastically compressible material applied or appliable on at least a lower part (18) of the blade support (11) situated close to the blade (13) of the skate (10). The surface covering is arranged, when hit by a puck (19), to absorb a considerable proportion of the puck's kinetic energy through elastic compression of the material.
