Comments: Awesome skates that are more spacious then other Bauer models and are almost like a mix of the old school flexlites with oldschool supreme leather skates.
From: Mike, Brooklyn NY

Comments: These skates are very durable and lightweight. They also offer comfort and protection in areas around the ankle and toe areas. As an added bonus, they will also cater to player who have wider feet. (something that Bauer skates have not offered in past products) Additionally, these skates can easily be baked to offer a more form fitting feel. I would definitely reccomend these to a beginner or intermediate skater who wants a comfortable pair of skates that will maximize their stride and speed at a great value.
From: Chuck, MA

Comments: Amazing skates for great price.  Very durable and lightweight.   I baked them the day I got them and played drop in the following day and they felt better than my previous skates of nearly 10 years.  When it comes to skates, Bauer knows how to do it.
From: Neil, VA

Comments: Comments:I Haven't skated with these yet but I love them already. I immediately upgraded to wax laces and they have a nice fit. I have really wide feet and this is the first pair of skates I've owned in all the years I've played hockey that had a perfect fit. I'll be sure to update you all once I beat um up a little.
From: Tom, Wisconsin
