The CCM Jetspeed FT340 ice hockey skate offers a nice degree of overall comfort and performance—it’s a great option for the entry-level or new-to-hockey player looking for a boot that’s going to help them develop their stride. This affordably-priced skate will appeal to a broad range of young players, including recreational skaters.
- Injected, synthetic mesh quarter package with Mesh Form skin for increased support and durability
- SpeedBlade Pro holder for stiff, stable performance
- Standard CCM footbed for comfort and support
- Injected plastic outsole for stiff, workable support
- Pro-styled two-piece tongue for impact and lace-bite protection
The steel holder on this year’s FT340 has been upgraded with the CCM SpeedBlade Pro holder, which is stiffer through the mid-section than last year’s model. The SpeedBlade Pro offers better stability and support for beginner players, and includes CCM’s unique triangular SpeedRib design for even more geometric stability. The stainless steel runners on the FT340 are not replaceable.
The holder joins to the injected plastic outsole that, combined with the injected boot, gives entry-level or new-to-hockey athletes a respectable amount of support without being too stiff. Young players will be able to work on developing their stride, thanks to the right amount of flex offered in the FT340. The skate is also perfect for general recreational use.
The FT340 quarter package comes in an injected, synthetic mesh material with CCM’s Mesh Form skin. This unique boot construction results in a lightweight feel with plenty of support and durability that a new skater will learn to appreciate. The FT340 includes a thick, pro-styled tongue with a two-piece construction for a comfortable, anatomical fit over the foot. It does a great job protecting the foot from impacts and lace bite. The brushed microfiber liner inside the boot is soft to the touch, and wicks away moisture and sweat from the player’s foot for a dry, comfortable fit. The FT340 comes with CCM’s standard footbed, providing exceptional comfort and support.
The Jetspeed line is a medium-volume skate, but a little tighter in the toe area. Young or new players with a slightly narrow forefoot will like the snug feel of the FT340, particularly with its tight heel lock.
The Jetspeed FT340 will appeal to young or new hockey enthusiasts and recreational skaters. Its extremely affordable price, combined with some nicely upgraded features, make the FT340 an exceptional value for the individual who likes to get out on the ice periodically, but who doesn’t need a lot of high-end performance out of their skates.
