{"reviews":[{"id":6537332,"locale":"en_US","rating":5,"title":"Perfect skates for beginners & above!","text":"These are my first pair of ice skates & I’ve got to say that these skates are awesome! The fitting for my foot was perfect as I have a wide foot with an average arch. It even fit better after the baking process. The blade that came on it was sharpened to 1/2” and felt very good on the ice. I’ve always only used rental skates before this and have to say that having skates that fit great on your foot and have superior ankle support is a world of difference on how comfortable I feel on the ice. I feel more confident in my ice skating capabilities with these skates. I look forward to improving and having these skates be a part of my ice skating journey. I definitely will never forget what my first pair feels like and how a great quality skate can encourage you to want to get back on the ice ASAP! Thank you CCM for a great quality skate! I am definitely going to be a part of the CCM family for life!","textLength":907,"csFlag":false,"inappropriateFlag":false,"reviewedFlag":false,"autoModerated":false,"published":true,"incentivized":false,"upVotes":0,"downVotes":0,"orderId":null,"dimensions":[],"responses":[],"tags":[],"media":{"photo":[],"video":[],"audio":[]},"user":{"nickName":"Ruben R.","firstName":null,"lastName":null,"emailAddress":null,"externalId":null,"city":null,"state":null,"country":null,"ageRange":null,"badge":null,"shopperProfiles":[]},"reviewedDate":null,"purchaseDate":null,"dateCreated":"2025-04-05T00:00:00-04:00","customData":[],"incentiveType":null,"campaign":null,"deviceFingerprint":null,"topics":[],"syndication":{"sourceName":"CCM","siteUrl":"https://us.ccmhockey.com/homepage.html","logoUrl":"https://images.turnto.com/site/syndicationlogos/5170_LH48.png"},"catalogItems":[{"sku":"46028-SKXF80-SR","title":"Senior CCM Tacks XF 80 Hockey Skates","url":"https://www.scheels.com/p/46028-SKXF80-SR","category":"hockey-skates","reviewCount":1,"ratingCount":1,"averageRating":5,"ratingBreakdown":{"1":0,"2":0,"3":0,"4":0,"5":1},"active":true,"attributes":[]}]}],"offset":0,"limit":10,"total":1}"Full Description:\nThe TACKS XF80 skate features CCM’s one-piece boot construction for more direct energy transfer and a closer fit so that you get the most out of every skating stride.
