Intro & New Features
For 2022, Bauer introduces the new M4 hockey skate: a mid-line variation in their transition from the Supreme S-series to the M-series of skates. This skate includes many performance-enhancing technologies for a variety of players at a more affordable price point. Tech of note includes the 3D-Lasted Flex Composite quarter package, the Aerofoam ankle padding, the Digi Comp outsole, and the Form Fit+ footbed.
Skate Fit Profile
The Supreme M4 skates come in Bauer’s Fits 1, 2, and 3, which is a relatively new concept that debuted in 2020. This was a great innovation, considering how the three lines, Vapor, Supreme, and Nexus, all historically had their own fits, despite performing differently. Now, those with narrower feet for example can enjoy the powerful stride enhancements that come with the Supreme line. Below is how the Bauer Fit System compares to previous years’ Bauer Skates:
- Fit 1 = Low Volume, Narrow width (closest aligned to the Vapor fit profile)
- Fit 2 = Medium Volume, Medium Width (closest aligned to the Supreme fit profile)
- Fit 3 = High Volume, Wide Width (closest aligned to the Nexus fit profile)
Choosing the right fit profile is a key element in deciding which skate and fit best suits you. Here at The Hockey Shop, we have a team of experts, as well as our very own Bauer 3D scanner that can help you into the correct size and fit to keep you at your best.
Boot Construction & Stiffness Profile
The Supreme line puts a large emphasis on powerful skate stride, which is where the integration of the 3D-Lasted Flex Composite quarter package comes in. The Flex Comp construction keeps that stiffness you need to support your full stride while also keeping the skate lightweight and thermoformable. It’s not so stiff that it makes the skate difficult to break in, however. Bauer has decreased the concentration of reinforcement fibres in the boot, making the skates easier to flex and skate in for developing players.
Liner & Internal Padding
For the M4, Bauer used a hydrophobic microfibre liner along the inside to wick away moisture and repel odor while you play. Including this kind of liner ensures that you stay comfortable in your skates all game long without the potential distraction of a wet boot. The skates also use Aerofoam Technology in the ankle padding, which is designed a bit thicker than conventional foam but is more form-fitting and thermoformable.
Toe Cap
The M4 skate uses a standard toe cap to keep the construction simple and to accommodate a wider variety of foot shapes and sizes.
Tongue
The tongue is made of an updated 48oz pro stock felt material with an injected metatarsal guard. This combination of comfort and protection is designed to form fit around and over the metatarsus area for extra coverage, and the thick felt coupled with the tough exterior help shield the front ankle area of your foot from harm while you play.
Insoles
The skates use a Form Fit+ footbed complete with memory foam for premium comfort on the landing.
Graphics
Keeping to the classic theme of the Supreme line, the M4 is mainly coloured black with yellow, cybernetic graphics and accents. “M4” and the new Bauer logo are also on display above the ankles and heel.
Steel Runner, Holder & Blade Profile
To hold the blade in place, the Supreme M4 skate uses Tuuk Lightspeed Edge, which is the same as it was in the previous highest-end Supreme Ultrasonic skates. For steel, the M4 uses an LS+ runner, which better matches the aftermarket geometry; this means you will be able to find the same steel sold separately in case you need an extra pair.

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, skate's size 1 - 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.***
