To put your team on top, you need a skate that can put you at the top of your game. Featuring best-in-class tech and spec, the Bauer Vapor Fly40 Youth Ice Hockey Skates have been updated in almost every way from their predecessor. Loaded with features typically found in our elite-level skates, FLY40 lets you get even closer to skating like the pros.
Boot
Quarter Package: The Fly40 features a Digi Comp quarter package, a lightweight and flexible but protective design.
Tongue: A Pro-stock 30oz. felt tongue offers both protection and durability.
Interior
Lining Material: A sublimated liner with Comfort Edge design offers moisture wicking properties to keep feet cool and dry.
Ankle Padding: Memory foam in the ankles offers exceptional comfort.
Footbed: A mid-density foam footbed is comfortable and stands up to the rigors of strides.
Holder/Runner/Sole
Outsole: A Digi Comp outsole helps aid in energy transfer and minimizes energy loss between the boot and the holder.
Holder: A LightSpeed Pro II holder offers tried and true form and function.
When you receive your skates, try them on and push your foot forward so that your toes (while flat) barely glance the toe cap. Bend your knee forward and look behind the heel of your foot down the skate. If you can fit a finger behind the heel easily, the skates are too big. A fingertip should be securely wedged between the heel of your foot and the back side of the skate.
While all players might have their own preference for fit, hockey skates should be 1 ½ sizes down from your shoe size. For most players this will be close to the proper fit. For example, if you are a U.S. Men’s shoe size 9, you would want to go with a skate size 7.5.
