THS' reviews are always just propped up advertisements. I get why, but they're never impartial. @TheGoalNet Those look like As1's with the FT2's runners?

Safe to assume it comes on AS1 replacement in 2020 So i'm going to assume that the FT2 and the AS1(2) are essentially the same as the Supreme/Vapour in regards to major differences? Mostly small minute things but mostly to do with fit? Do you happen to know if CCM will be continuing with the Ribcor line? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, at retail, it's a fit story. AS1 is a more universal fit. Jet Speed is a tapered fit. With full custom, you could order an AS1 because you like that boot tech, but get it to fit your "jet speed foot". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard that boot really flexes and is unique among any composite boot. There's almost like a flexpoint at the ankle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no major qualms against a stiff boot, had a pair of NXG's for a bit that I did like. It's just a bummer Bauer's toes caps are too small to accommodate my broken big toe and it's gnarly knuckle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder the possibility of making a hybrid boot that is composite and whatever the older boots are made of. Old material would be around the ankle for flex and eyelets for more of a "wrap around" feel. Idk, probably sounds stupid to most people, I have no experience wearing a full composite boot.

I think this is what you mean? That's actually where I got this idea. That handle in the comments, jimmyd3135, is me. I thought the same thing when I saw this picture and asked them. They said it is a full composite boot. I guess the white leather is just clued/sewn on top of the composite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaveByRichter35 Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 I just went back and read those comments again and they never actually responded to answer my last question if there is composite under the white leather at the ankle. Maybe they would be more inclined if a different person commented requesting confirmation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just tell them you’re a grown ass man with an $800 hole in his pocket for some new skates and you need them to directly answer your question, otherwise you’re gonna stick to your 1975 Riedells Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked CCM directly about people thinking they need an AS1 over the Jetspeed. Although certain people just won't fit, CCM thinks they can accommodate most goalies in JetSpeed and custom molding. Total custom is the only way to get AS1 with XSG. Custom bake JetSpeed is less expensive than full custom AS1. They encouraged anyone who is worried they won't fit to try on a retail JetSpeed with an open mind. I can attest to having an AS1 per the scanner and the JetSpeed custom mold working out okay. Sorry for the disclaimer, but they spent a lot of energy trying to get people in comfortable skates without needing to fork out for the total custom. That's why I point this out.

wox33 Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 I tried on a JetSpeed player skate since nobody seems to have any stock of the goalie skate yet and I will say for me I don't think it would've worked even with a custom mold. Even in EE it was not comfortable up by the toe box so I ended up just ordering a pair of 1X in EE to replace my current pair that are a D width since everyone has them on sale right now.

I don't have any specific foot fitment concerns... i have the standard heel bumps etc... but no flat feet... so crazy high arches... no super wide feet... more interested in the AS1 w/ XSG for the additional flex. I'll likely go down the path of 3D scan for fitment and go from there to decide if I move toward Total Custom AS1 or Custom Molded Jetspeed (or stock Jetspeed w/ shop bake.)

Okay, glad to hear you tried them on. Sounds like you would have been a good candidate for AS1 full custom. Good luck with the Vapor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck with the Vapor Yeah, I seem to always need a skate with max volume and going full custom in the AS1 may have got me kicked out of the house lol. My current skates are Vapors in 10D and I should be in a 9.5EE so hopefully getting the correct size will work as I liked the rest of the way the skate felt.

I’m in Supreme with my Bauer’s, but Volume is the biggest thing I notice with the CCM. The JetSpeed’s have way more volume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wox33 Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 I tried on a 2S in wide just to see and there is no way my foot goes comfortably in that boot. I figured it would be a little uncomfortable compared to the Vapor but it wasn't even close for me. I was hoping the Jetspeed would offer me enough space since traditionally older CCM/Reebok skates always fit me better than Bauer but now that they started making specific boots for specific feet (not to mention they are all super stiff boots now) I'm afraid I've been relegated to Tacks. Too bad since I was interested in seeing if a 1 piece boot made any difference but I like my Vapors currently so it's not a big deal. I was hoping to try the latest and greatest since I had to get different skates no matter what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_shifty1982 Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 @wox33 me in Supremes EE is a hell no as well. kinda sad that CCM dropped the ball on the stock skate offering only 1 boot. I was considering it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
