Skate Fit Profile
The Bauer Vapor Shift Pro Youth Hockey Skates come in sizes 8-10 (full only), and 11-13.5 (full & half). There are also regular and wide widths available.
Boot Construction & Stiffness
This skate uses a Digi Comp quarter package and outsole, which is constructed to deliver a great balance of stiffness and flexibility for excellent power transfer and agility on the ice. The skate is also thermoformable to ensure players can get the best fit.
Liner & Internal Padding
With a sublimated liner that is designed to wick away moisture and keep the skates fresh, and memory foam ankle padding, players can have a skate that is comfortable and protective, while also feeling fresh for longer.
Lacing System
The Shift Pro hockey skates use a traditional lacing system when compared to all other hockey skates. The standard flex facing lace system along the eyelets are designed to keep the skates tight with improved durability and reliability.
Tongue
This skate comes equipped with a pro stock 30oz felt tongue. This tongue focuses on comfort and performance, and is infused with an injected comfort pad down the middle to offer a balance of performance, support, and an overall great feel.
Steel/Runner/Profile/Blade Holder
The Youth skate is equipped with an LS Pro II holder, which provides excellent stability and responsiveness on the ice. The stainless steel runners further enhance performance, offering superior edge retention and durability, which is crucial for young players who are looking to develop their skills.
Toe Cap
Designed with a standard toe cap that accommodates a range of foot sizes, this toe cap provides a versatile fit. It allows players with different foot shapes to find the right balance of comfort and support. It ensures that players of varying foot sizes can enjoy a secure and snug fit, enhancing overall stability on the ice.
Insoles
The Shift Pro Youth skates feature a mid-density foam footbed, which provides adequate cushioning and absorbs impact, reducing fatigue during extended periods of play and offering a balance between support and comfort. The foam contours to the shape of the foot, ensuring a personalized fit and enhancing overall stability on the ice.

Hockey Player Skate Sizing Guide
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.***
