CCM Step XS (2) Skate Runners

‌Step Steel has built one of the most respected names in hockey steel by delivering a single, proven performance advantage — more height, more edge depth, and more control beneath your feet. New for 2020, the CCM Step Steel XS Stainless Steel runners bring that widely popular Step Steel design and philosophy directly to CCM skates for the first time, giving CCM players access to the same raised profile technology that serious hockey players at every level have trusted for years. Built specifically to fit the CCM XS Holder, the CCM Step Steel XS Stainless Steel runners are the upgrade CCM skaters have been waiting for.

The foundation of the CCM Step Steel XS Stainless Steel runners is the high-precision raised profile that Step Steel has become known and trusted for across the hockey world. By increasing the height of the runner beyond a standard blade, Step Steel fundamentally changes the geometry of how your skate interacts with the ice. More height delivers a better attack angle on every stride, every turn, and every push — loading up more power in your crossovers, tightening your turning radius, and giving you a deeper, more aggressive edge engagement that standard runners simply cannot replicate. Every movement feels more connected, more powerful, and more precise when the steel beneath you is built to work harder than the rest.

One of the most immediately noticeable advantages of the CCM Step Steel XS Stainless Steel runners is the ability to achieve a deeper lean on your edge without bottoming out. With a standard height runner, aggressive edge angles can cause the holder to make contact with the ice before the blade has fully engaged — robbing you of power, grip, and control at the exact moment you need all three. The raised profile of the CCM Step Steel XS Stainless Steel runners eliminates that problem entirely, giving you the freedom to lean deeper into every turn, push harder off every edge, and trust your steel completely through every crossover, every cut, and every aggressive directional change. No limitations, no hesitation, no holding back.

The CCM Step Steel XS Stainless Steel runners also deliver much more control on harder, quicker stops than a standard runner. When you need to plant, brake, or kill your momentum fast — whether you are defending a rush, winning a battle along the boards, or pivoting sharply to change direction — the increased height and precise edge geometry of the CCM Step Steel XS Stainless Steel runners give you the bite, the grip, and the control to execute every stop cleanly, powerfully, and with complete confidence. Stops feel more authoritative, more reliable, and more controlled in every situation the game demands.

Built from high-grade stainless steel, the CCM Step Steel XS Stainless Steel runners are constructed to withstand heavy use, repeated sharpenings, and the full demands of a competitive season without losing the consistent feel and performance you depend on. The raised profile also contributes directly to a longer lasting sharpening life — more steel height means more material to work through before replacement, giving you more sessions, more shifts, and more value out of every pair. Sold as a pair and compatible with CCM Player Skates featuring the XS Holder from 2019 onwards, the CCM Step Steel XS Stainless Steel runners are a direct, straightforward upgrade that delivers an immediate and noticeable performance difference from your very first stride.

The CCM Step Steel XS Stainless Steel runners are ideal for CCM skaters at all levels who want to unlock significantly more performance from their existing skates without changing their holder system. Perfect for forwards who demand tighter turns, deeper edge engagement, and more explosive acceleration out of every cut and crossover to create separation and generate scoring opportunities. Equally valuable for defensemen who need powerful, controlled stops, reliable edge grip, and quick, confident pivots to manage gaps and control their zone under pressure. Whether you are a developing player taking your skating seriously for the first time or an experienced competitor who demands the best from every piece of equipment, the CCM Step Steel XS Stainless Steel runners give you the height, the precision, and the proven Step Steel performance that makes a real difference every time you step on the ice.
