Based majorly on the highest-end ski boots, the KONEKT goalie skates look to take the goalie skate to a whole other level. These skates feature a thermoformable Grilamid shell, PushPlate interior, a Hingeflex cuff, and an Ultralon foam liner, all focused on making a skate with the same “connection” goals as elite ski boots.
Skate Fit Profile
The KONEKT is designed to form fit around your foot, so all parts are thermoformable from the boot to the liner. It is important to note that the skates are much stiffer than standard skates and include various buckles that can be difficult to fit and form when wearing the skate for the first time. The thermoforming process also involves multiple steps and requires very specific fitting on the buckles and punch-outs in the liner. For these reasons, sizing and thermoforming is required to be done in-store or with a professional.
Boot Construction/Stiffness/Level of Play
These skates are tailored for the elite player, hence the use of high-tech material and technologies in the boot. Grilamid is very stiff but known for its thermoformability and performance-enhancing behaviour in cold weather, which means it can give you unrivalled protection while also providing impressive support and push on the ice. Bauer also added a PushPlate interior for more improved skate power.

Hockey Goalie Skate Sizing Guide
- Things to consider:
- Age
- Measurement from longest point of foot (cm)
When sizing for the correct size of a skate, we always advise taking the measurements below from a sitting position and not standing upright. Additional weight on your foot/feet can skew your result and misrepresent your foot size. The reason for this is that as you put your full weight on your feet, the arch of your foot will collapse and cause your foot to appear wider or longer than it actually is.
As well, please be aware that skate sizes and shoes sizing do not match exactly. As a general guideline, skates size 1 ½ sizes smaller than shoes.
It is ideal for a player to have a tight, snug fit both in length and width as this will provide the best performance and durability. If a skate is too big you will feel your feet slide around and you will not get the full performance out of the skates and can also develop calcium deposits - Haglund’s Deformity or “Bauer Bumps” for lack of a better term although this issue doesn’t only occur with Bauer models.
An Ideal Fit:
Stand with your skates laced and your heel snug in the heel cup. Your toes should just barely feather the end of the toe box. Bend forward into a skating stance. Your toes should pull back slightly from the toe box. Once heat fit, your foot should slide back into the foams of the skate and the length you felt in your skating stance will more-or-less become you standing size.
To obtain the measurement above you will need a soft tape measure and a pen. Start by placing the tape measure flat along the ground in a straight line. Sitting in a chair, place your foot down with the longest point of your foot (usually big toe, or second toe) in line with the edge of the tape measure. Make sure you keep your weight off of your foot. Take a pen and mark the tape measure where the edge of your heel ends. Record this length in cm. This measurement will correspond with the sizing charts in each brand below, if you do not see your exact measurement, select the size with the next size increment above your measurement (i.e. you measure 24.9 cm, you would select 25.1 cm or Size 6).
Sizing Children for Growth Room:
If you are purchasing skates for your child, it is common and usually recommended to add some additional room in the skate to increase the last, we recommend no more than 1 full size. Feet stop growing around ages 15 – 15 ½, and from ages 14 - 15 ½ we would recommend adding only half (1/2) a size in length. Follow the same measurement instructions as above, once you obtain your true size move up ½ or 1 size.
***Sizing of skates is very preference based and these measurements will not guarantee a fit that is right for you. Please use these as general guidelines, for the most accurate fit we always recommend getting measured by a professional skate fitter at our store or your local pro shop.***
