Skate Fit Profile
The Bauer Vapor Velocity Junior Hockey Skates are available in sizes 1-3.5 (full & half) in a regular and wide skate widths.
Boot Construction & Stiffness
The Digi Comp boot keeps the skates performance competitive without making it too stiff and difficult to skate in. For further reinforcement and stiffness at the bottom of the boot, these skates also have a Digi Comp outsole. This design allows for flexibility in a Vapor skate while still having stiffness to withstand and cater to powerful strides.
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 Velocity 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 40oz 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 Velocity skates come with a Lightspeed Edge holder with a trigger release system. This holder locks the Fly-X steel into place to eliminate any loosening or the blades slipping out. The Fly-X is engineered for exceptional durability, edge retention, and an enhanced glide.
Toe Cap
With an asymmetrical toe cap, this concept has been observed in previous Bauer hockey skates for many years. The toe cap contributes a better overall fit by utilizing any unused space inside the boot.
Insoles
Featuring a Form Fit+ footbed, which is made of a contoured foam material that molds to the shape of players’ foot over time. This design helps provide a personalized fit and improves overall comfort by reducing pressure points and enhancing stability.
Graphics
The skates have a black base, with white and silver accents highlighting the Velocity and Bauer logo. There are also yellow lines in a modern design to further enhance the look of this skate.

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.***
