The 2018 Bauer Supreme 2S Pro Hockey Skate replaces the Bauer Supreme 1S Skates. While keeping a similar look, many new features have been added to keep those dedicated Supreme followers interested. The Bauer Supreme line is a proven model, specifically catering to the Mid Profile foot shape. That fit story has not changed and has only improved.
The Bauer 2S Pro is the first player skate to feature LS5 Carbon-coated steel. This is something we have been eagerly waiting for Bauer to release. For years we've been aware of the benefits that carbon-coated steel offers, and it was only a matter of time before this material was stock on elite skates.
In our testing, the LS5 steel had what seemed like an increase in edge bite. With that said, you could drop to a shallower hollow to take advantage of increased glide while maintaining the same amount of control. Combine increased sharpening life with improved performance and this steel is a worthwhile upgrade.
3D-lasted Carbon Curv Composite. Bauer's patented boot material is thermo-moldable and ultra-lightweight without sacrificing protection. Thermo-moldable composite is a standard these days, but Bauer's current iteration of the Curv material is one of the best we've seen.
The Reflex Pro Tongue offers a three-piece, 52oz felt tongue with moldable inserts. We can honestly say the skate provides a customizable fit inside and out with this swanky new feature. The base is a mix of both white and black 52oz felt. The two-tone felt offers a nice contrast, and you avoid the "weathered" look of a well-used white felt tongue in the lower boot.
The facing of the tongue has composite moulded inserts that offer added protection without sacrificing mobility. You'll recognize this design from the 1X right away, but there is a new addition. The yellow inserts in between the composite inserts are intended to help spring your foot back to neutral when in a forward flexion position.
Bauer changed its eyelet system to add three additional options in-between the top 4 eyelets. The new three eyelets are a bit closer to the ankle bone and are offset with the top 4. This allows you to customize your lacing style to optimize comfort and performance. The primary purpose of the extra eyelets will be to snug up the fit for someone with smaller ankles. But I’d recommend messing around with the configuration of the laces to see what’s most comfortable for you. You'd be amazed at the difference it can make for you on the ice.
Bauer's first crack at a thermoformable insole was a success, but there was room for improvement. The blue plastic is gone. The materials have been completely re-engineered to improve comfort and durability. Bauer Speed Plate 2.0 footbed provides the ultimate support and comes standard in every 2S Pro Skate. This insole alone has its own fit story and features, including:
- Full thermoformable recovery alloy composite for fit customization.
- Anatomical metatarsal support pad for enhanced power output.
- Mid-density top foam covers high impact areas for premium comfort.
- Easy trim to fit cut line indicators.
- Enhance stabilizing grip applications further support the foot.
Overall, this footbed is a significant upgrade over Speed Plate 1.0. Time will tell how it holds up, but we think the steps taken to improve durability are solid.

Hockey Player 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.***
