The Bauer GSX YTH Goalie Skates are a mashup of the best parts of the X2.7 and S37 goal skates making one of the best entry level goal skates we’ve seen from Bauer in recent years.
Skate Fit Profile
For the GSX skate, Bauer stuck with the traditional D and EE fit profiles. These skates will fit like a mashup of the Vapor and Supreme skates of years past so the easiest way to find your correct size is to come give them a try.
Boot Construction/Stiffness/Level of Play
The GSX uses a Fiber Composite quarter which is much softer and more forgiving than that of the Elite and Pro skates. StanceFlex technology has been brought down to the GSX to give the boot the same sort of flex seen in the two other models. The GSX skates are a great option for entry level goalies or for those who are still growing and are light enough that they don't need that ultra-stiff Pro boot.
Liner/Internal Padding
The Grip liner is seen in the GSX along with memory foam ankle padding which provides a comfortable fit while effectively locking your foot into place.
Tongue
A standard felt tongue keeps your feet free of lace-bite and locked down into the skate.
Holders & Steel
The GSX skates stick with the Vertexx edge holder and LS1G+ steel combo as seen on all of their recreation level goal skates in recent years.
Graphics
The Bauer GSX Youth Goalie Skates feature a clean understated black and grey design with a vibrant green accent colour and liner.

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.***
