CCM Tacks XF Pro Hockey Skates Size 4.5 Regular

Designed for the elite power skater who demands explosive speed and unyielding stability, the CCM Tacks XF Pro is the pinnacle of the Tacks evolution. Engineered with a stiffer, lighter, and more responsive construction, these skates are built for the "North-South" skater looking to maximize energy transfer with every stride. Key Performance Features One-Piece Boot POWER with FORS Composite: The heart of the XF Pro is the exclusive One-Piece Boot POWER technology. By utilizing premium FORS Composite materials—woven with a high-end core—CCM has created a boot that is lighter and more durable while maintaining a pro-level stiffness rating of 215. This seamless construction eliminates negative space, ensuring that every ounce of energy from your leg is transferred directly to the ice. Game Ready Fit: Step into a boot that feels broken in before you even hit the ice. The improved Game Ready Fit features enhanced anatomical shaping, offering superior heel lock and a tighter forefoot wrap. Additionally, extended facings provide higher in-step volume, accommodating a wider range of foot shapes without sacrificing the snug, performance-focused fit. Flex Tendon 3.0: Achieve maximum stride extension with the upgraded Flex Tendon 3.0. Now reinforced with FORS composite, it provides a greater range of motion for longer, more powerful strides while offering improved protection and durability for the back of the ankle. Tritech Tongue with D3O® Protection: Comfort meets elite protection. The 7mm black felt tongue features a molded foam core and an injected D3O® lace-bite insert. This "smart material" absorbs impact energy to protect the top of your foot while allowing for excellent forward flexion. TotalDri Pro Liner & ADPT Memory Foam: Stay dry and locked in. The TotalDri Pro liner wicks moisture efficiently to keep the skate light, while Polygiene treatment fights odor and bacteria. Inside, ADPT Memory Foam pads wrap anatomically around your ankles, eliminating gaps for a customized, pressure-free fit.

The Tacks XF Pro skates that feature a new One-Piece Boot built with innovative FORS composite, it's lighter, more responsive, and more durable, while maintaining pro-level stiffness. Equipped with best-in-class STEP Blacksteel and our new Game Ready Fit, it delivers performance that never felt so good.

If you need a skate that can handle heavy impacts and provide support, the XF Pro delivers on both fronts. The boot is incredibly stiff, locking your foot in place and providing good energy transfer. The SpeedBlade steel is razor-sharp and holds an edge. They're a bit heavier than some other skates on the market, but the trade-off in terms of protection and performance is well worth it.
