CCM Ribcor 78K Ice Hockey Skate Review

Perfect fit

Had no issues since day one in these skates. I have been using them for almost a year now.

The Features Are There

Bought these in February, then, COVID-19 hit. Got back on the ice after a long layoff and have struggled in these skates. They feel comfortable. However when skating the toe space seems to be too wide and the blades are not smooth. I thought it would get better after an Ortho cleared me to remove the Tier 3 knee brace off my right leg. It has helped a bit. I cannot totally blame… read more the issues on the skates. I do know these skates have been difficult to break in, my ankle bone on my right leg is sore and I will probably have to sell these and step back into the skates I wore previously. I won’t say not to buy them as my right leg has some damage to it as that weighs in. However, with my last pair of skates it was easier for me to compensate for the damage.

Great Skates

The skates are amazing. Very comfortable fit, I skated in them for the first time last week. Like I had them for years. It will take a few more times to get used to the new fit, can't wait for tomorrow lunch hockey! Thanks to the guys at the Rockville MD store, excellent customer service!

Best skates in my life...

I have worn "top of the line" skates for over 3 decades. My feet have changed shape and my "old skates" (worn 30 times), no longer fit at all. I got properly fitted to find out that my formerly narrow feet had transformed into "swim fins", and that CCM Ribcor skates were best suited for the shape of my foot. They are unbelievably great fitting skates which I will require to be buried… read more with me when my time is up. Average heel, wide forefoot, and "low profile instep", I am happy as a clam. A 2 minute skate bake at the local shop, (Florida Everblades pro shop)....that's right, as in "two"...and my skates are "broken in" without losing its new, custom feel fit and support. The old 652s never felt this great. My foot width is "between D and E", so I don't have strange dimensions. I started skating when I was 3, hockey training at 6, and was an "all star" by 10, so I do know skates and skating. I highly recommend for those whose feet fit this shape of the last.
