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 SR 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.

Graphics
The Bauer Elite Senior Goalie Skates feature a clean black and dark grey pattern mixture across the boot, with green accents on the heel, tongue and side areas.

Sizes
The Bauer Elite Senior Goalie Skates come in sizes 7-12 (full & half sizes) as well as in Fit 2 and 3.
