Hello everyone! Been thinking about replacing my Jetspeed skates, which were purchased over 5 years ago. I really like CCM skates, but want to have a similar fitting skate. Do the one piece boots fit dramatically different, or would moving on to a FT4 Pro/FT4 be fine? And if I wanted to stay with a 2 piece boot, should I look at the 90Ks or look to move on to Bauer? Just a note, wearing 8.5 skates makes it almost impossible to find top of the line skates on clearance.

Hi all, My CCM 100k customs arrived 2 weeks ago, and I need help. My previous skates were True customs with the VH step holder and a pro-sharp q0.5 profile. I love my Trues, but they were getting banged up and I figured I'd check out the CCMs. The CCM boot is generally comfortable, but I think the pitch of the boot/holder is holding me off-balance. It feels like my weight is always on my heels, and I feel like I'm about to fall-over just tooling around the ice. I figured this was a profile issue, so I had the q0.5 profile applied with an extra 0.5 forward pitch to see if it helped. While it did help a little, I'm still not balanced. My questions: Any of you know the default pitch of a True skate with VH holder in comparison with a CCM speedblade XS holder? Am I better off putting more pitch on the blade or going with a heel lift? If heel lift is the better route, how do I know how much? I've seen previous threads that talked about 1.5mm and 3mm lifts, but how do I know which is right? Any help is very much appreciated. Having $1400 skates that I hate putting on my feet is frustrating. 😞 Thanks, Jason
