The FORS Composite asymmetrical boot is one of the biggest changes we've seen in the Tacks Line for quite some time and brings with it more effective energy transfer, long-term durability, and even weight reduction. Combined with the Game Ready Fit 3.0, the XF Pro offers an incredible out-of-the-box fit thanks to a pre-baked wrap at the factory before a player even gets to heat mold it.
Adding to this, the TotalDri Pro liner with new Responsive Foam and 3D mesh contours better around the foot, wicks away moisture, dries quicker, and fights off odor-causing bacteria. The re-engineered construction also includes a Heel Lock Zone for enhanced stability and control through each stride.
Even the new Flex Tendon 3.0 uses FORS Composite, but its main purpose is to deliver maximum stride extension for more power without exposing the Achilles. The Step BlackSteel runner is among the very best performing options in the game with its premier edge retention, sharpening life, glide, and overall consistency.
For the ultimate fitting experience that can be done without leaving the house, make sure to first Bake Your Skates at Home and then Check for Proper Skate Fit. If you are still unsatisfied with how they fit and feel, simply use the included pre-paid return label.

| SpeedBlade XS Tongue System An easy and secure clip system gives you the ability to purchase one of three aftermarket CCM tongues. Slim is the lightest and slimmest, which reduces weight and increases internal volume. Regular is the most similar to the stock tongue but comes with D3O Smart Foam for top-tier protection. Extra is thickest and most protective, which also reduces internal volume. Learn more here. |
