CCM 3D Skate Fit System

CCM’s 3D Skate Fit System finally lets you pick your skate by how you skate, not just how your foot fits. Whether you drive north‑to‑south power or take over with east-to-west agility, they offer their skates in three fit profiles: Tapered, Regular, and Wide, across both JetSpeed and Tacks families. Now 95% of players find a near‑perfect match in two simple steps.

1. Pick Your Skate Family by Playing Style

Before locking in your fit, it’s just as important to choose the right skate family that matches your skating style. If you thrive on quick acceleration, agility, and versatility, JetSpeed skates are built for all‑around speed with a construction that balances support and flexibility. If your game is all about powerful, north-to-south skating with full, extended strides and maximum energy transfer, the stiffer, more supportive Tacks skates will help you generate top‑end speed with every push. Picking the right skate family first ensures you’re in a boot that complements how you play, allowing you to get the most out of your stride once you dial in your 3D fit.

Step 2: Find Your CCM 3D Skate Fit

To narrow down your ideal 3D fit profile, start by considering your foot shape: if your forefoot is slim or you have a low instep, the Tapered Fit (Low Profile) is your best bet; players with a broader forefoot or a higher instep will find the extra volume of the Wide Fit (High Profile) more comfortable; and those with a standard foot profile will appreciate the Regular Fit (Mid Profile).

Not sure where you fall? A quick at‑home measurement can help: stand in your usual skate socks on a blank sheet of paper, trace your entire foot with the pen held vertically, then measure the heel‑to‑toe length and the widest point of your forefoot in centimeters. Divide the length by the width for your length-to-width ratio and see where you fall below.

• Wide Foot Profile: Less than 2.5
• Regular Foot Profile: 2.5 - 3.0
• Tapered Foot Profile Greater than 3.0

Based on data CCM has collected on their 3D scanning devices, the Tapered - Low Profile should account for 33% of the hockey population. While this fit was inspired by the previous JetSpeed D fit, it is not identical. You will find a more narrow forefoot, a tighter heel and lower overall volume.

Easily the most popular and most common fit option, the Regular - Medium Profile will be a great choice for about 42% of the hockey population. This fit was inspired by the original Super Tacks D but it is not an exact duplicate. This has a standard forefoot width, a standard heel and a medium overall volume.

Finally, the Wide - High Profile fit will be a great match for about 25% of the hockey population. With inspiration from the Super Tacks EE fit, this has a wide forefoot, a wider heel and a higher overall volume.

Can I mix skate family and fit?
Yes! Every fit profile is available across JetSpeed and Tacks, plus an female‑specific fit in JetSpeed FTW.

Which fit is best for narrow feet?
Choose Tapered for a snug feel that locks your heel and forefoot in place.

What’s FTW female‑specific fit?
A custom blend of higher arch support, narrower heel and wider forefoot, designed around female foot anatomy for superior comfort and protection.

How do I know if I need Regular or Wide?
If your toes or instep feel cramped side-to-side in a standard Regular or D‑width skate, step up to Wide. If you already wear EE in other brands, Wide will feel most natural.
