Stay aggressive through every transition with the CCM Tacks XR 80 Skates, designed to give competitive players a more connected and responsive feel on the ice. The new CORE boot, shaped to the Vizion fit, reworks key areas around the forefoot, heel pocket, and navicular region to create a closer anatomical wrap. By reducing unwanted space inside the boot, the XR 80 helps keep the foot securely locked in for sharper movements and more efficient energy transfer.
An external heel wedge increases forward pitch, naturally positioning players deeper into their knee bend and more on their toes. This helps make quick starts, tight crossovers, and rapid changes of direction feel more fluid. The heat-moldable injected composite CORE boot works with ADPT memory foam ankle padding, a seamless TotalDri Pro liner, and a 7 mm felt tongue with injected lace-bite protection to deliver a supportive fit with comfortable cushioning.
