FT485 Skates

Recommended Posts

Has anyone skated on the FT485 yet, (or at least tried them on)?  I'm very curious about this skate as it's a one piece boot with a relatively low flex rating.  It's rated at 165 on CCMs skate flex scale, which is roughly equivalent to a Ribcor 78K.  I'm a big fan of the one piece boot fit, but prefer a softer boot as well.  Now that CCM has standardized the fit across the lines, is this skate basically the one piece Ribcor I've been waiting for?  100K looks nice, but I'm past the point where I'm willing to drop that kind of coin on a skate.

Wow, a 1 piece boot, XS holder w/STEP and the interchangeable tongues for less than $400! Seems like a steal to me. 

However, they do not appear to be part of CCM three fit system.

Yes, only regular and wide, but that's not a concern for me.  No way I'm getting my foot into a low volume, narrow skate.  The FT1 D width was too narrow for me.
