Bauer Vapor 2X Pro Goalie Skates - Junior Review

Quality goalie skate - a bargain at the sale price

A very nice upgrade from my older 4mm blade, cowling covered Bauer goalie skates. I find the thinner blade easier to push off in the butterfly. After baking and small one-punch out, these are the most comfortable skates I've ever owned. Good ankle support and they look sharp. I tried the True TF9's in wide, but they were too narrow and didn't feel as comfortable out of the box as… read more the Bauer's

Killer boots!

Got a pair of these about 3 months ago. These are worth every penny and a great deal on clearance. I'm a beer league tender, 37 yo, and play once a week. I baked these at my house and they came out feeling like gloves. Rigid but feels right after two times on the ice. I'm converting from a pair of 5 year old Graf's with the standard cowling. I was a little skeptical on how… read more the longer blade would feel but they felt super nice first time out.

Nice and stiff!

Awesome. I bought these to replace some older too-soft S-170s. At 6'3" and 235 (without gear) I prefer a stiff skate. These fit the bill.

I LOVE these skates! I upgraded from the Reactor 7000s, and I gained so much mobility. These things are super light and I love the cowlingless boot.

First impressions

Keep in mind I've only used these skates one time, i may make an updated review later. So right when you put them on your feet and tie them to your feel, you have this nice updated liner,(compared to the 1x which I used before) and it feels great. I play bantam AAA hockey and I hit the ice like a typical day, I skate around a bit and wobble side to side. I get in the net and I start… read more doing crease movements. The steel on these blades are amazing along with the edge, i already feel like my stance has been updated. About 30 mins into practice i start feeling pain in my foot which is typical for two reasons, 1. Im flat footed. 2. Its a brand new stiff skate. I knew the pain was coming and I hope it will it will go away once broken in. Practice is over and I step off the ice and get ready to go home. Already I'm thinking 800$ well spent, and I could only hope this product will feel better over time.
