Intro & New Features

New for 2024, Bauer is simplifying their skate lineup just like they did on the player side. With a new fit system and model designation, the Bauer Elite INT Goalie Skates are a mashup of all the great features from the recent Vapor and Supreme lines designed to be a more cost effective option that still provides great performance.

Skate Fit Profile

Just like Bauer did for their player line, the new Elite skate features a new fit system providing different widths and depths designed to fit a wider variety of goalies. Fit 2 is a Medium Volume, Medium Width closest aligned to the current goalie Vapor fit profile; Fit 3 is a Wide Width closest aligned to the player Nexus fit profile. Fit 2 and Fit 3 is available in all sizes.

Boot Construction/Stiffness/Level of Play

The Elite skate also uses a Versacomp quarter similar to the Pro skate offering good lateral support and rigidity. Paired with their StanceFlex technology, the Elite boot while slightly softer offers a good combination of energy transfer and support.

Liner/Internal Padding

The liner in the Elite skate is their Comfort Liner. This liner offers great moisture wicking and comfort especially when combined with AeroFoam ankle padding.

Tongue

A pro felt tongue is used on the Elite skate which is great for flexibility and lace-bite protection.

Holders & Steel

The Elite skates stick with the Vertexx edge holder and LS3G steel combo as seen on all of their performance level goal skates in recent years.
