Intro & New Features
The Bauer X-LS YTH Hockey Skates are designed for the recreational player. If you’re looking for a great first experience, or do not skate regularly, these skates are a perfect choice. Some new features added to this skate are the 3D Poly Carbon quarter package, 30oz Felt tongue, and Microfiber liner inside the boot.
Skate Fit Profile
The Bauer X-LS is engineered to be an entry level skate. Because of this, the fit profile is universal. It is designed to cater to the average foot shape. In addition, this boot only comes in a regular (R) width.
Boot Construction & Stiffness Profile
The composition of the X-LS consists of the 3D Poly Carbon quarter package. This material allows the boot to have the right portion of support and flexibility for players looking to stay comfortable while enjoying the game.
Liner & Internal Padding
The X-LS line features the Microfiber liner. Bauer has also added Anaform pads in the ankles for added protection and comfort.
Tongue
The 30oz Felt Tongue gives players great comfort and protection.
Lacing System
New to the X-LS Youth skate is the quick and easy Velcro straps. These replace the traditional lacing system only in the youth sizing for quick and easy wear. The Velcro straps are perfect for our first timers, and parents!
Steel Runner, Holder & Blade Profile
The Bauer X-LS Skate comes standard with the Lightspeed Pro 2 holder and Stainless Steel combo. Although this combination does not allow you to interchange the blades, the Stainless Steel gives you a great glide on the ice.
The X-LS Youth skate also features a 13 foot radius along the blade. This makes it easier for the kids to balance out on the ice.
Graphics
The graphic on the X-LP Youth skate brings a new look. The boot brings an all black look with hints of green accenting some of the key areas. This is a very nice looking boot!

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.***
