CCM Tacks XF90 Intermediate Skates

The one-piece construction of the skate provides a custom fit by perfectly conforming to the shape of the foot, enhancing comfort. Composite materials are used for their lightweight properties, reducing fatigue and enabling players to gain speed. Increased stiffness from composite materials offers better support for the foot and ankle, reducing the risk of injuries and improving stability during quick movements and direction changes.

The boot's stiffness allows for more direct and efficient energy transfer from the foot to the ice, as well as better foot support. A thermoformable core allows the skates to be heated and molded to the player's specific foot shape, providing a custom fit that increases comfort and reduces pressure points and injury risks. Combined stiffness and lightweight properties enable better responsiveness, giving players instant feedback on every move. This enhances maneuver and shot accuracy.

The Totaldri liner helps enhance player comfort by wicking moisture away through improved airflow around the feet. Polygiene technology eliminates odors. The Totaldri liner, combined with Polygiene treatment, is designed to resist wear caused by moisture and bacteria. This prolongs the skates' lifespan, ensuring they remain high-performing and comfortable for longer periods. Keeping feet dry and odor-free allows players to maintain high levels of comfort and performance. Dry and fresh feet promote better concentration and fewer distractions during gameplay.

The foot is protected with EVA material known for its excellent shock-absorbing properties. The Tritech design helps distribute pressure evenly across the top of the foot, avoiding painful pressure points often caused by tight lacing. This improves overall comfort and allows players to stay focused on their performance without being hindered by foot pain. With the Tritech construction, the tongue is both stiff and flexible, providing optimal support for players.

The arch benefits from extended comfort with Ortholite Ultra foam, offering excellent cushioning. The footbed is designed to maintain proper foot posture, thus preventing discomfort. Ortholite foam is known for its durability and ability to retain thickness and cushioning over time. This means Ortholite Ultra footbeds will continue to provide excellent support and comfort, even after prolonged use.

The Speedblade XS holder features a quick-lock mechanism for fast and easy blade changes. This is particularly useful for replacing damaged or worn blades, allowing players to return to the ice quickly without needing extra tools. Made with high-quality materials, the Speedblade XS holder is designed to withstand wear and frequent impacts during games and practices. This ensures long-term durability and reliability players can depend on.

STEP Steel blades are renowned for their exceptional sharpness, offering smooth and efficient glide on the ice. This allows players to skate with greater precision and control, enhancing their ability to execute complex maneuvers and quick moves. The stiffness of STEP Steel blades contributes to optimal energy transfer from the foot to the ice, enhancing power and efficiency with each stride. This enables players to skate faster and with less effort. STEP Steel blades are designed to reduce vibrations, providing a smoother skating experience. This helps players maintain better control and reduce fatigue during extended gameplay sessions.
