What are the CCM Jetspeed FT4 Skates made of? Are they durable?

Energy transfer is improved, and weight is decreased, via CCM’s One-Piece Boot Speed Technology. The composite one-piece construction minimizes empty space inside the boot for a superior fit that maximizes the transfer of body energy through the skate and onto the ice.

The FT4 boot, which will be offered at the middle stiffness level among CCM skate models, is meant to maximize quickness and agility. The FT4 scores 195 on their stiffness performance index, falling between the Ribcor index of 180 and the Tacks index of 215.

For the Jetspeed line of shoes, the tried-and-true fundamental eyelet lacing system is still in use. The top eyelets have also been strengthened for added toughness.

The asymmetrical toe cap is brand-new this season. The new toe cap reduces the amount of negative space in the boot while maintaining the same level of protection. This enhances overall fit and once more emphasizing energy transfer.

Are CCM Jetspeed FT4 Skates Comfortable? And how do they fit?

The FT4 skate has TotalDri Pro+ liner. Like any top-notch moisture-wicking liner should, designed to keep your feet dry and the skates lightweight during an ice session.

Additionally, the TotalDri Pro+ liner has worn patches in the typical high-wear locations. This should assist preserve the skate’s interior comfort over time and boost the liner’s overall durability.

CCM has made improvements to the Jetspeed skate line to meet varied foot shapes and profiles. The top two Jetspeed models will have options for tapered, standard, and broad fits.

The Wide Fit will be most similar to the previous Ribcor skates but with a little more width in the toe box, while the Regular Fit will be most similar to the Tacks series. The Tapered Fit will be slightly narrower than the previous Jetspeed fit.

The heels have been significantly tightened up in all size options, which was the main thing I noticed. Since a tight heel fit is essential to a performance fit, our staff is very enthusiastic about this. The new fit seems to be a good one.

How do CCM Jetspeed FT4 Skates Perform?

The FT4 uses Step BlackSteel, the best steel in its category. The best steel available right now is this carbon-coated steel because of its enhanced edge toughness and glide.

The additional 4mm height of Step BlackSteel also results in a larger attack angle and turning radius.

With a multi-layer metatarsal guard and 7mm white felt to increase ankle and foot wrap and protect against lace-bite. The tongue of the CCM FT4  is identical to previous iterations of the Jetspeed tongue.

The Pro tongue with 10mm black felt and the Lightweight 4mm tongue are the replacement choices, or bespoke options, that are readily accessible.

Is there a difference between the Senior, Intermediate, Junior and Youth versions of CCM Jetspeed FT4 Skates?

Push your foot forward so that your flat toes barely touch the toe cap when you first put on your skates. By bending your knee forward, you can see behind the heel of your foot as it slides down the skate.

If you can easily fit a finger behind the heel of the skates, they are too big. Firmly insert your fingertip between the back of the skate and the heel of your foot.

Hockey skates should be one and a half sizes smaller than your shoe size, though each player may have a preferred fit. Most players anticipate a close game with this one. For instance, if your U.S. men’s shoe size is 9, you should select a skate size 7.5.

SENIOR Hockey Skates
Adults and fully grown adolescents with a Men’s US shoe size of 8 or larger can wear senior hockey skates.

Intermediate Hockey Skates
intended to fit children between the ages of 10 and 13, with US shoe sizes between 5 and 7.

JUNIOR Hockey Skates
fit children with US shoe sizes 2 to 4.5 who are between the ages of 8 and 10.

YOUTH Hockey Skates
fit toddlers and young kids with a US youth shoe size of 1.5 or lower, between the ages of 3 and under.
