Intro & New Features
Based largely off of last season's Konekt skate, Bauer has released a new performance level skate: the Konekt HF2 Goalie Skate. This skate features an Anaform customizable thermoform shell, a HingeFlex cuff, a Thermofoam liner, and Ultralon padding around the ankle to bring together a skate that has a close connection to a ski boot.
Skate Fit Profile
The KONEKT HF2 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 less stiff than the original Konekt skates but they still include various buckles that can be difficult to fit and form when wearing the skate for the first time.
Boot Construction/Stiffness/Level of Play
These skates are tailored for the performance level player, hence the use of materials and technologies in the boot. This boot has an Anaform customizable thermoform shell, which means it can give you that needed protection while also providing impressive support and push on the ice. Additionally, it can form to the foot much easier compared to its predecessor.
Liner/Internal Padding
The KONEKT HF2 skates use a Bauer thermofoam liner along the inside, with added Ultralon padding in the ankle. This foam has amazing shock absorption capabilities, and it is also thermoformable. Ultralon foam does not hold odour well, which means it will help keep you feeling fresher for longer as you play.
Strapping
Unlike conventional skates, the Bauer KONEKT HF2 uses straps, cuffs, and buckles, similar to ski boots. The skates also use HingeFlex technology, which were also present in the original KONEKT skate. HingeFlex is the upper shell cuff of the boot that moves with your ankle when you move. HingeFlex ultimately makes the skate 22% more flexible in the ankle area. The two buckles at the ankles and toe of the foot are built to lock your foot in in a snap, making it quicker and easier than ever to get ready for the game.
Holders & Steel
The KONEKT HF2 skates come equipped with the LS3G+ runner.
Graphics
Bauer has been sticking with a black and green colouration for their KONEKT line, and there is no exception with the HF2 skates. The heel is adorned with the Bauer text logo, and their new image logo appears on the heel. The name KONEKT is seen in light grey along the side, and the HF2 branding is also present in the green insole.

The Bauer Konekt HF2 Intermediate Goalie Skates come in sizes 1-3 and in regular (R) width.

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.***
