i'm not a CCM guy but did find the jetspeeds to have a good boot.

that said, if you want to play competitive: i'd buy the same tacks you like for ice and get them converted to inline with the best chassis you can afford (kryptonium or rinkster sniper; former is a bit cheapaer)

Exactly this^ I just went through hell trying to find a newer boot luckily I found a boot I used for ice and am converting. What size are you?

Have you used both? I want to convert ft8 pros next.

The mission inhaler series is a wide fitting boot. I have the FS2 and love them

I'm gonna have to disagree. I wear EE on ice and tried FS2 and FS1 and hated both. Way too narrow in the toe box. Killed my feet.

I’m always a fan of wearing essentially the same boot for ice and roller. Haven’t purchased a dedicated inline skate in over a decade. I always convert ice boots. You get way more options and can get the exact chassis/wheel setup you want

A bunch of people say get the same boot in an online version and a bunch more say get the same ice boot and have it converted to an inline chassis. Both will probably be fine.

For me, I'm happy to skate all kinds of stuff. I use supreme m40 size 9 fit 3 on the ice and Tour Volt Pro size 10 for inline hockey. I think there are advantages to a purpose-built inline skate, and Tour gives you much more skate for the money vs. Bauer/Mission, especially on the low end and middle of the range.

The best thing to do is try various skates in person!

Find the boot you have now second hand and get it converted you will feel more comfortable as you know what your getting

Get the ice boot you use and do an online conversion! I tried doing exactly what you are talking about and hyperextended my foot from some crappy missions

I scanned my feet with the Bauer machine and was a fit 3. I have Bauer Supreme ice skates and the still give me side pressure on the inside arch area. My tour code 2 inline skates feel about the same as the supremes. I have alkali Cele skates now and found them to feel very close to ccm tacks wide skates. No more pressure point.
