The CCM JetSpeed FT485 player skates are heat moldable, a feature specified to improve break-in time. They also use a 7 mm felt tongue.
The JetSpeed FT485 feels comfortable on the foot.
My grandson has been skating for 9 months and he outgrew his first pair of skates which brought us into your new draw in Pompano Fl. Digital platform for perfect sizing and molding the skates did the job. First time on the Ice the coach of the kids league drafted him into the U6 team. Heid only 4 1/2. It was the new skates.
My son is a mite and grew out of his skates toward the end of the season. Was able to make a transition to the FT485 with no break-in issues. He is loving the skates.
No complaint from the kid, they held up great for 2 seasons only got new ones because of a growth spurt.
These are some really great skates that I bought for my oldest son.
