The oldest known iceskates were found in a bog in Finland and were about 3,500 years old. They were made from reindeer bones which were strapped to the feet with leather thongs.

They were first made from wooden platform skates with flat iron bottom runners. They were attached to the skaters shoes with leather straps. There were different people iventing ice skates.

"Ice skates made from bone are common archaeological finds. One of the better known examples is the pair found at Birka which probably date from the 9th century."
