The successor to the Ci1 skating boot is the Ci1-Pro. However, the Pro is not an improved Ci1 but a Ci1 custom in standard design. A kind of Ci1 iD so, which can be ordered in 16 different colors, but in one color: the camo black!
The shoe is made on a new last, it is similar to that of the Ci1 but a few adjustments have been made. For example, more volume has been created around the toes. The shoe also has just a little more padding that makes it feel less hard and more comfortable. The carbon shell and upper, on the other hand, are just as high quality as the more expensive models; manufactured with Japanese Toray carbon and top quality microfiber leather.

Heat mold instruction:

A special notice for molding Ci1 boots: After the boots are heatened in the oven and put on your feet do not tightened them using the dial closure! Use only the laces (optional in combination with a vacuumpomp/bag). When the disc closure is heatened you may damage the system trying to pull the steel wire laces.
