Stay aggressive through every transition with the CCM Tacks XR 80 Skates, designed to give competitive players a more connected and responsive feel on the ice. The new CORE boot, shaped to the Vizion fit, reworks key areas around the forefoot, heel pocket, and navicular region to create a closer anatomical wrap. By reducing unwanted space inside the boot, the XR 80 helps keep the foot securely locked in for sharper movements and more efficient energy transfer.
An external heel wedge increases forward pitch, naturally positioning players deeper into their knee bend and more on their toes. This helps make quick starts, tight crossovers, and rapid changes of direction feel more fluid. The heat-moldable injected composite CORE boot works with ADPT memory foam ankle padding, a seamless TotalDri Pro liner, and a 7 mm felt tongue with injected lace-bite protection to deliver a supportive fit with comfortable cushioning.
Underneath, the SpeedBlade XS1 Pro +4mm runners provide the taller, pro-preferred steel needed to lean deeper into turns while maintaining speed through each carve. The additional height also allows for more sharpenings over the life of the steel, while the SpeedBlade XS holder's tool-free dial makes runner swaps quick and simple. For players looking to elevate their fit, agility, and edge control, the CCM Tacks XR 80 Skates offer an excellent blend of comfort and performance.
For the ultimate fitting experience that can be done without leaving the house, make sure to first Bake Your Skates at Home and then Check for Proper Skate Fit. If you are still unsatisfied with how they fit and feel, simply use the included pre-paid return label.
