Intro & New Features
Featuring a one-piece shell design, the Catalyst 5X4 goalie skates offer many of the same innovative technologies found within the flagship model. This goalie skate is designed for competitive goaltenders seeking unparalleled fit and comfort in the crease.
Skate Fit Profile
The TRUE Catalyst 5X4 Intermediate Goalie Skates come in sizes 4-5.5 in a regular width only, and sizes 6-6.5 in both widths. It is typically a good guideline to drop your shoe size by about 1.5 sizes to find your skate fit. The skate should fit snug around your foot for maximum comfort and support when pushing off.
Boot Construction & Stiffness Profile
The molded Nylon composite shell is designed by TRUE to improve the durability of the skate and keep it in good shape for longer. The Neurofit technology in the skate helps create a high quality boot, making it a reliable option for goaltenders to use. It also includes high impact resistance with improved shell layering, which makes the skate more durable.
Liner & Internal Padding
The 5X4 goalie skates features a clarino liner which is designed to improve foot lock & moisture repelling, to keep goalies feet dry during the game, so they can focus on making the next save. It also includes PU leather side panels which add skate durability, which maintains and holds the skate shape.
Tongue
These skates feature a lightweight laminated tongue which provides goaltenders with an enhanced level of fit & comfort. This tongue is designed to protect goaltenders from lacebite and with the lightweight build, it keeps the boot lighter while on your foot.
Steel/Runner & Blade Holder
Similar to other models in the 2024 TRUE goalie skate line, the 5X4 goalie skates feature the Shift Attack holder and stainless steel. This holder makes changing your skate runners out seamless and easy with the Bench Change technology. Additionally, the stainless runner is simple and designed to last longer than standard steel.

Hockey Goalie 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.***
