The Vapor 2X youth hockey skate is made for pro enspired players looking for the best possible features in a youth skate. The 2X skate is a perfect choice for youth skaters expecting a high performing skate.
Skate Fit Profile
Vapor continues to be the best fit option for youth skaters with a low volume or slightly narrower foot profile. A snug heel fit also contributes to the 2X youth fit, adding stability for all levels of skaters.
Tongue
A 30-ounce felt tongue with high-density foam metatarsal guard. This tongue offers plenty of comfort, flex, and protection against lace-bite.
Graphics
Following the graphics of the 2X Pro model closely, the Vapor 2X skate is slightly toned down without any yellow colour pop and a slightly darker grey instead of the brighter silver. This is a great looking graphic with a more traditional look to it.
Boot Construction/Stiffness/Level of Play
Designed for pro inspired youth players, the 2X skate features Bauer’s 3D lasted fiber composite with X-rib pattern. This material is lightweight, thermal-forming, and gives plenty of heel support.
Comfort Edge Padding offers comfort and helps reduce bite from the top of the boot when performing aggressive turns.
Liner/Internal Padding
Bauer’s Lock-Fit liner, lightweight foam memory foam ankle pads, and thermoformable properties provide ultimate comfort in a youth skate.
Holders/Steel
The 2X youth skate comes standard with and an integrated holder and steel combo. While not giving the option of replaceable steel found on the senior and junior models, the Tuuk LS1 steel remains one of the best in class within the youth category of skates on the market.

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.***
