When purchasing a new pair of hockey skates, it is important to focus on fit. If you’re unsure which skate line or model fits your foot best, or if you want an accurate measurement and assessment, visit your local Pure Hockey.
Over the last couple of years Bauer has been focused on separating the performance attributes of the Vapor and Supreme skates from an on-ice performance and feel perspective. The new technologies, new materials and different flex points are what will differentiate these skates.
Vapor focuses on quickness with the lower part of the skate being softer for increased response and the upper part of the skate being stiffer allowing for increased lateral support. The flex point of the Vapor skate is in the lower portion to maximize agility and speed.
The Bauer Vapor 3X Pro has a 3D lasted Curv Composite Quarter package which provides elite level support while keeping the skate very lightweight. The outsole is made of Pro TPU which allows the skate to maintain its lower flex point for optimal quickness and agility.
Passed down from the Vapor 2X Pro line is the asymmetrical toe cap. This toe cap design reduces the volume of the skate for an enhanced low-profile fit, while also allowing you to improve your push-off with each stride.
Elevating the 3X Pro is the integrated injected facing which provides lateral stability and improves the lock of the foot to the skate and allows proper forward flex. For interior comfort, the 3X Pro uses AeroFoam+ padding with a Hydrolite liner which provides good support, a soft feel, and moisture-management properties to help wick sweat away and keep your foot secured in the boot.
In the Vapor 3X Pro, Bauer partners the Lightspeed EDGE holder with the LS Pulse steel. This high-grade runner provides a long edge life a premium glide.
The Bauer Vapor 3X Pro skate is an excellent option for players who want a top-end fit with elite features, giving them a high-performing skate at a great value.
3D Lasted Curv Composite quarter package that provides elite level support while keeping the skate very lightweight.
Classic 48oz Felt Tongue with injected insert for a perfect combination of support, protection and comfort.

Allows the skate to maintain its lower kick point for optimal quickness and agility.

SENIOR Hockey Skates
Senior hockey skates are sized to fit adults and full grown teenagers with a Men's US shoe size of 8 or greater.
Intermediate Hockey Skates
Intermediate hockey skates are sized to fit kids in the range of approximately 10 to 13 years old with a US shoe size of 5 to 7.
JUNIOR Hockey Skates
Junior hockey skates are sized to fit kids in the range of approximately 8 to 10 years old with a US shoe size of 2 to 4.5.
YOUTH Hockey Skates
Youth hockey skates are sized to fit toddlers and young children in the age range of approximately 9 years old and younger with a US youth shoe size of 1.5 or smaller.
*Female Skaters*
The difference between men's shoes and women's shoes is 1.5 to 2 sizes. So, if you wear size 9 women's shoes, that translates to a men's size 7.5 or 7.0, which would put you in a size 6 senior hockey skate. More simply put, go 3 sizes down from your women's shoe size in order to find your hockey skate size.
