Intro & New Features
Developing young players need skates that are tailor-made for their growth and progress on the ice. The Bauer Vapor X Shift Pro Junior Hockey Skates offer the perfect balance of performance and flexibility, enabling young skaters to enhance their acceleration, responsiveness, quickness, and agility as they master their skating technique.
Skate Fit Profile
The Vapor X Shift Pro Junior model features the Performance Skate Fit System, offering the classic D (Standard) and EE (Wide) widths, ensuring a snug and comfortable fit for young feet.
Boot Construction & Stiffness Profile
The focus on performance-level hockey players extends to the junior model. The Vapor X Shift Pro Junior skates are lightweight and feature top-of-the-line thermoforming composite, allowing for a customized mold and wrap of the boot around the foot. The Comfort Edge Padding on the top of the boot minimizes discomfort during aggressive moves and stops, providing a smooth and enjoyable skating experience.
The Bauer X Shift Pro skates also boast MotionFlex technology, specifically incorporated into the DigiComp quarter. This innovative feature ensures each stride is more efficient, enabling younger players to flex within the boot and confidently get out over their toes. The DigiComp boot, combined with the DigiComp outsole, optimizes the boot's overall stiffness, facilitating quickness and agility on the ice.
Liner & Internal Padding
Comfort is vital for young skaters, and the Vapor X Shift Pro Junior skates deliver. The 40oz felt tongue with liner and the one-piece Hydrolite liner with wear patches ensure optimal comfort and durability, allowing young players to focus solely on their game without distractions.
Holders/Steel
The Vapor X Shift Pro Junior model incorporates the new POWERFLY holder, enhancing acceleration with a stiffer front post, while the hyperbolic stability bar and flexible back post enhance balance and responsiveness during turns and edging. The X Shift Pro comes stock with FLY-X steel.

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.***
