Has anyone used the CCM XS Skate Tongue Extra? I have the FT4 Pro's don't need to reduce the volume. Would these tongues just make the boot fit snugger than it already does?

Thanks, West Side skate shop looks great will try and get over there.

Thanks for the advice, much appreciated I was just looking using Google maps. Looks like the Penalty Box Hockey Shop in Las Vegas is the best bet.

Thanks for the advice, not sure if I can manage that far from where we are staying potty the MonkeySports in Northridge is permanently closed ;( that would have been perfect.

Hi, Looking for some advice We are taking a 4 city trip around American the first 2 weeks in May. Does anyone know of any good ice and inline hockey stores around these areas? Found some shops selling ice gear, but can't seem to see any selling inline gear. NY staying in Midtown East, Vegas staying on Las Vegas Blvd, LA Staying on Vineland Avenue and San Francisco staying on Nob Hill. Thanks

at what temperature 170?

I got a great deal on the Bauer Re-Akt 200 Helmet online, fits great. I know it is optional, but curious if i can bake the fit plate at home? the helmet dosen't come with much instructions on the baking process just the amount of time to put it in a Bauer oven. Has anyone done this? can it be done at home? if so how? Thanks

i got mine when they were released so i don't know if the strap is maybe a touch longer, but it only reaches about to the middle of the velcro. I tried the CCM QLT at the same time as trying the alpha and didn't really like the straps or the way the pads sat on my legs, kinda looking at changing the alpha shin guards though as the strap is getting a touch annoying, i haven't tried the Jetspeed pads.

I have the Alpha QX and it attaches to the velcro but the strap seems very short to me too.and sometimes comes off.

So maybe I am missing something but I thought that the Warrior Dynasty Girdle had a built in cup holder? I was think about starting to use mine instead of having my cup in the jockshorts, but mine dosent seem to have one. It's not too old maybe a year or so, did later iterations of the girdle not come with a built in cup holder? Thanks

i heard somewhere that the rocker sticks don't if this is because of moisture or something.But i asked the question on there Facebook and they got back saying that there is no issue that they know off.

i looked at backing one but they are like half the price of skates (to get them to the UK) i just wait for them to come to the UK store will give me time to read the review.Plus i don't think that you can put Step Steel or anything in them which i just got :/

i actually ended up changing the way that i pull my laces tight, which seems to have solved the problem and lets me get them tighter. Just need to wait on the skin healing, i got some of that second skin stuff it helps but you forgot to mention how much it stings when you put it on haha, thanks for the help.

Yeah I've found some of that stuff on Amazon, can't find it in any of the shop around me. I've ordered that should be here tomorrow, hope it helps.

i'm not i could tie them much tighter, i am just tying my laces snug.

i used one of them once and somehow managed to rip most of the middle eyelets out of the boot, they weren't a good pair of boots but that's why i don't use one now.I wasn't pulling that hard either :S

Wonder if anyone else has had a similar problem,Not 100% sure how it happened.But i hadn't played in 2 months since getting injured, this weekend was my first weekend back and i thought it would be a good idea to put new waxed laces in my skates. Amway i used to have like hard bits of skin on my two outside fingers from tying my laces.But 2 months of not playing these have healed.So after tying my laces there is what looks like a popped blister on the two fingers, the skin is pretty much rubbed raw. It was difficult to tie my skates for the next 2 hours i was on, i have tried blister plasters and moleskin but because its right on the joint on the finger they just fall off. The only thing i can think of is using superglue to cover the raw skin to make some kind of second skin.Does anyone know of any way around this happening again? or the best way to protect the raw skin while it heals.

I haven't had any issues with that ( but then never have before) only way I can describe the tongue its a bit worn from use but that's about it no problems there.

I've been wearing mine since about a month or two after release (3-4 hours a weekend) previously always worn the Ribcor line.After getting them baked they felt really good could feel how well they were shaping to my foot.No hot spots after first skate just a bit stiff so difficult to get them tight enough. Only took about a month (could be less cant remember) to fully break in had no discomfort through all of this time, rubbing or anything. The boot is a bit lower cut than the Ribcor's so no need to skip the top eyelet. Fits my foot incredibly well and honestly find it more difficult to get my foot into the boot, but once its in feels great hardly any negative space. The boot is really light and stiff and haven't had any issues with durability ( the carbon fibre near the toe cap looks like its cracked but I have been told this is just part of the moulding process). cant remember the name of the new eyelet thingy but its defiantly noticeable and hugs your foot a lot more. have been hit with pucks on the back, side and toecap if there was any pain it went away very quickly. Only the one on the toecap left me with a small bruise on my big toe. The only issue I had was with the superfeet carbon insoles sliding forward in the boot when trying to put my foot in no idea why but changing to the CCM custom support insoles fixed the problem. These have been the best pair of skates I have had buy far, just wish I could have gotten them sooner.

How did you find skipping the top eyelet? I used to on my old skates but the supertacks don't come up as high.

I used to skip there to eyelet on my old skates, but the supertacks don't seem to come up as far feel like skipping the top eyelet would be to low. Does anyone else find this?

I tried watching it ended up getting bored about halfway through the first episode and turned it off :|

I'm away to pick up my Supertacks next weekend and have a pair of superfeet carbon pro hockey I want to use. Do I bake the skate with the regular footbed then swap it out for the superfeet one they have cooled?

I got a chance to quickly try on a pair of the ccm super tacks today.they only had a size 8.5D which I thought would be the correct size for me adding .5 plus I was wearing thicker socks than normal.but there seemed to be too much room in the toe box.ive heard of other people ordering .5 bigger and the skates being to big. my shop doesn't have the sizing tool for supertacks in yet they just have the foot disk which I was sized as an 7.5. currently wearing a pair of the reebok Ribcor skates (2014). so would 8D in the supertacks be the correct size being 0.5 bigger than the size on the foordisk? And the 8.5 supertacks being to big?

I thought they made them narrower this year, and its a one piece boot so moulds 360 around your foot.
