The synthetic composite boot provides a big upgrade in stiffness compared to mid-level skates, which results in better energy transfer and longer structural integrity too.
Internally, CCM used thick layers of memory foam that are some of the most comfortable on the market. Due to the thickness of the foams, they help the skate fit and contour around the foot even better too. With the upgraded boot stiffness, the Tacks AS-V even comes with extra ankle padding that prevents ankle irritation, especially during those long tournament days.
