CCM JetSpeed FT4 Pro Hockey Skates
The CCM JetSpeed FT4 Pro hockey skate is tailored for elite players seeking a close fit and explosive acceleration. Its one-piece boot is made from lightweight, NHL-caliber composite materials for optimal energy transfer during strides. The STEP BlackSteel blades offer effortless gliding and sharp turns. These skates continue CCM's tradition of innovation in high-performance hockey gear, building on the responsiveness and speed of earlier Jetspeed models.
Key features include:
| Asymmetrical toe cap | This toe cap design improves the fit around the toes, reducing overall bulk and providing a more low profile feel. |
| Step Blacksteel | Better bite and longer-lasting edges with the Step Blacksteel featuring carbon-coated technology. |
| One-Piece Boot Speed Technology | Eliminates seams, stitching, and glue, resulting in a closer fit, better energy transfer for powerful strides, and overall reduced weight. |
| 3D Fit System | Variety of widths within the Jetspeed FT4 Pro line to cater to different foot shapes. |
| TotalDri Pro+ Liner | Wicks away moisture effectively, keeping your feet dry and comfortable during intense skating sessions. |

| 👍 Pros |
|---|
| The composite boot provides incredible stiffness and responsiveness. My strides feel powerful, and the edges hold like nobody's business. |
| The liner with the asymmetrical tongue offers a fantastic, locked-in fit. The liner feels supportive and comfortable from the start. |
| The fit allows for good mobility in the ankle, and the boot design helps with quick turns and overall agility. |
| 👎 Cons |
|---|
| These skates are expensive. While the performance is good, the price tag is only realistic for serious players or those with a professional budget. |
| Unfortunately after using these for less than a season, a puck from a shot hit the interior of the skate and created a huge crack in the "one piece boot". |
| These skates needed a longer break-in period than I expected, especially compared to other JetSpeed models I’ve tried. |
Many people compare the FT4 Pro to the HyperLite, but the FT4 has much more power. It's an incredibly powerful skate, and the fit is perfect. I would do my stride in the FT4 Pro and realized pretty quickly that I needed to watch out! I'm not used to the power. You see a lot of NHL players still using the FT4 Pro. I'll see a player going really fast and think wow, look at that. Oh yeah, they are wearing the JetSpeed FT4 Pro.
