The Bauer Vapor X500 Ice Hockey Skates are a great choice for a recreational to intermediate level player. The Vapor X500 skates are the first model in this Vapor Line to showcase the innovative Tuuk Edge Holder. This Edge Holder has a quick release trigger system that allows players to swap out broken or damaged steel in seconds, while also offering one of the tightest turning radius' around.

The traditional Tech Nylon quarter package utilizes Vapor's signature X-Rib design that provides unparalleled support, stability and stiffness at this price point. For pro-style lace-bite and impact protection for the top of the foot, Bauer also gave the X500 skate a 40 oz, two-piece white felt tongue with an integrated metatarsal guard.
