# CCM Tacks AS-570 Hockey Skates


### Product Description: 


The CCM Tacks AS-570 hockey skates are designed for powerful strides and a close fit, making them ideal for competitive players of all ages. They bring the technology of CCM's high-end Tacks skates to a more affordable price point. The skates feature a one-piece boot for better energy transfer and a closer fit, along with a 150 stiffness flex rating for powerful pushes. The replaceable asymmetrical tongue and XS steel runners allow for customization to individual preferences. Continuing the legacy of the Tacks line, the AS-570 skates aim to provide power and performance for today's hockey players.


### Perfect skates for:

A player looking for a balance between some of the high-end tech but at a lower cost.


### Key features include:



* Direct energy transfer with the one Piece Boot quarter package 
* HD Microfiber liner 
* Interchangeable, custom fitting tongue
* Molded CCM Ortholite footbed with recycled EVA foam
* CCM XS Stainless Steel runner


### Top competitors comparison: the [Bauer Supreme M5 Pro](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/bauer/supreme-m5-pro-2/l177540) and the [True TF7](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/true/tf7/l164202)

All three skates target mid-range players seeking a balance of affordability and performance. The Bauer Supreme M5 Pro leans towards a stiffer flex profile for powerful strides, similar to the AS-570. However, the True TF7 stands out for its focus on a lightweight construction and a more customizable fit through heat-moldable materials. Ultimately, the best choice depends on whether the player prioritizes a stiffer skate for maximum power (CCM and Bauer) or a lighter weight skate with a more personalized fit (True).


### Progression:

CCM typically prioritizes introducing major advancements in their top-of-the-line models like the JetSpeed or RibCor lines. Updates to mid-range skates like the AS-570 are more subtle and not explicitly advertised. The AS-570 offers some significant upgrades over the entry-level models including a one-piece quarter package boot, interchangeable tongues, and the speedblade XS Holder improving the spring-lock system that makes swapping out blades more efficient. 


### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

PROS:



* The one-piece boot provides a good amount of stiffness for powerful strides, which is unusual to find at this price range. They're not top-of-the-line, but they're a great option for players looking for an upgrade from recreational skates.
* The liner is decent quality and wicks away moisture well. These skates are also fairly lightweight, which makes for easier strides and better maneuverability on the ice.
*  The AS-570 is a great fit for someone who has flat feet. One of my friends suggested adding a pair of superfeet skates to them and they felt great!

CONS



* More advanced players might find the boot to be a little too soft for their needs. These skates don’t offer the same level of stiffness and performance as some top-of-the-line models.
* The one-piece boot does require a break-in period, and I found it to be a bit uncomfortable at first. There are some serious initial pressure points and blisters happening on my feet.
* Baked these skates and am currently on my 4th time getting these punched. There is no room on the inner side of these skates for the bones in an average persons foot near the ankle. 


### Expert notes (by [Austin MacDonald](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/dstars79)) 

The AS-570 is in a good state. You have the ankle-locking memory foam and it offers a lot of power and comfort. This skate might not be as durable as other comparable models. It doesn't have the same high-end materials as the 5 Pro, but the AS-570 has a really good anatomical fit. It's a great skate if you don't really need the pro-level durability because you might only be skating on the weekends, but you still want something decent.
