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, use our sizing guide below or for the most accurate measurement and assessment, visit your local Pure Hockey to be scanned on a Bauer 3D scanner.
The youth Bauer Vapor X5 Pro has a Fiber Composite Pro Quarter package which provides elite level support while keeping the skate very lightweight. The outsole is made of TPR, which allows the skate to maintain its lower flex point for quickness and agility.
For interior comfort, the X5 Pro uses comfort edge ankle padding. This feature is lightweight which increases the thermoformability of the boot thanks to its molding properties. With this material around the ankles, your young player will be comfortable, and the boot will form to their foot for a better overall fit. The hydrophobic liner provides good support, a soft feel, and moisture-management properties to help wick sweat away and keep your foot secured in the boot.
The Pro Stock 4oz tongue will give you the protection you need and prevent lace-bite, while the mid-density foam footbed will provide optimal comfort from a top-end skate.
The Bauer Vapor X5 Pro youth skate is an excellent option for players who skate 3-4 times a week and are looking for elite features in a high-performing skate all at a great value. Although this skate is recommended for Elite and Performance skaters, any player at any level can upgrade from a lower model.

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.
