Sniper9, I have new pair of CCM Jetspeed FT490s (also one-piece boot) and I have had the exact same issue. The first pair that I had lasted about a month and I had to return them to Pure Hockey for a replacement. I took a hard pass on the inside of the boot, near the ankle, and it blew a whole through the side of the boot (inch and a half laceration), causing carbon delamination. The structural integrity of the boot was completely compromised. Pure Hockey replaced them with no issue and they were shocked, they proceeded to ask what league I played in! For reference, this was just a heard pass in an A-League Adult League. Fast forward to the other day, and I must have fallen and a guy stepped on the exact same location, causing another gash through the carbon fiber (not nearly as bad) into the side the new boots, but I can't tell if it punctured the side wall. I have since used a minor clear sealant to ensure no water leaks into the liner. I am still within the 90 day satisfaction guarantee, but needless to say, the durability on the one-piece boot is garbage compared to my 8 year old Bauer Supreme S180s that were tanks. I am tempted to switch back to Bauer, but I do love the fit and feel of the Jetspeed skates. Hope this helps, but I promise you, we can't be the only ones experiencing this.
