    well jetspeeds now come in a tapered, regular and wide.  high arches just mean your feet are curvy on the bottom, not that they have a high volume from top to bottom on the diagonal from your heel back to your ankle flex point.  your instep is that area.  if you like jetspeeds then i would email them for a quick double check, then you are good to order the regular.  

    Cool thanks for that, unfortunately the local CCM retailer doesn’t carry the new range - I would be looking at the FT2’s which are currently on sale.

    the jetspeed comes in a "tapered" now.  how narrow are your feet?  and what about your instep and toes?  do your feet widen out like a duck?  or stay narrow?  is your instep high?  the vapor, jetspeed, and supreme all fit different in that way.

    They stay pretty narrow, based on a very bad sketch attempt they are roughly 30cm long and 10.5cm at the widest point. Relatively high arches, I’ve got superfeet in my Jetspeeds which I like. My previous skates were size 12 Supreme total one’s which I hated, the Jetspeeds feel comfy so I’m chasing a similar fit. The only physical hockey store in my country only stocks Bauer and they never carry large sizes so I feel like the safest option is to stick with Jetspeeds.

    I skated comfortably in a 7D of the original Jetspeed.  7.5D in both the FT1 and FT2 are too narrow for me, (right at the edge of the toecap).  After speaking to other Jetspeed wearers, I'd say the boot got narrower beginning with the FT1 line.  CCM has their 90 day satisfaction guarantee though, so as long as that's applicable in your country, you can try them out risk free.

    Hey thanks for that, I’ve got pretty narrow feet but the 2015 Jetspeeds fit me so I’ll factor that in. Unfortunately the skates come in through third party retailers and as far as I’m aware don’t have the return policy. I’ll do some more digging on that though.

    Good question. My old skates, up until now, have been a 2015 model Jetspeed size 9. The new FT2's are in size 9.5 as CCM did change sizing a few years ago. The FT2's are a different skate for sure than the original Jetspeed; but, the fit is very similar. In fact, as I weigh the FT2's versus going to Bauer I do feel that the FT2's give me a more familar feeling and that will likely sway me to stay with CCM. 

    I guess it depends exactly how granularly you are going to analyze the fit and feel. Once I got the right size in the FT2, aside from the FT2's feeling a bit stiffer overall; they felt pretty much the same as my old skates when on my feet in my house. I've yet to skate on them because my local rink is a 6 month winter operation and I've got about 4 more weeks to wait. I hope this helps.

    Hey that’s really helpful thanks! Unfortunately it’s online orders only for CCM in my country so no opportunity to try them on. This is great info, hopefully the 4 weeks pass quickly and you get back on the ice soon.

    I ended up getting my hands on a Jetspeed FT2 in D and the 3S Pro in Fit 1. I'm still curious what the Vapor 2X Pro in Fit 2 would have felt like; but, I'm going to choose between these two.

    There are definitely subtle differences in the fit and feel in different parts of the skates; but, I'm not going to be able to choose until I skate on both (which won't be for another 5 weeks until our rink opens back up for the winter). First impressions are that the Jetspeed has slightly more width in the forefoot and both pairs feel similar in the ankle/heel area to me. The Bauer 3S Pro feels like it has more substantial interior padding and a thicker tongue. Also, based only on trying them on, it seems the Bauer is at least an equally stiff skate if not stiffer. 

    Since I'm coming from an earlier pair of CCM Jetspeeds, the CCM pair does feel a bit more familiar and I thought I immediately go for the CCM. But, something about the Bauer skate, even thought it's the second down in the Supreme line, makes it feel a little more substantial and supportive. Plus, the Bauer gets better reviews for its holder/steel combos than the OEM CCM versions. 

    I can't give a final verdict yet and am looking forward to skating on both. 

     

    Hey would you mind commenting on the Jetspeed FT2 Fit compared to earlier Jetspeeds? I’m in the 2015 Jetspeed and keen to upgrade to the FT2 however I don’t have the luxury of trying them on. I’m aware the sizing changed, so my 11D 2015’s translates to a 11.5D FT2, but would really appreciate a comparison fit wise! Thanks I’m advance and apologies if this post appears twice, I tried to post before I registered for the site.
