CCM JetSpeed FT4 Pro Hockey Skates
The CCM JetSpeed FT4 Pro hockey skate is designed for elite players who prioritize a close, comfortable fit and explosive acceleration. The one-piece boot is constructed from NHL-caliber composite materials, keeping the weight low while maximizing energy transfer for powerful strides. The STEP BlackSteel blades are designed for effortless gliding and sharp turns. These skates represent the latest innovation in CCM's long history of producing high-performance hockey equipment, following in the footsteps of previous Jetspeed models known for their responsiveness and speed.
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.
