Ice hockey skates need to offer superb foot support and protection for comfort and safety during the rigours of tough matches combined with flawless manoeuvrability. The full-length lace fastening system of these Bauer Vapor X200 skates makes it easy to achieve the correct combination of support and comfort for a perfect fit, but it also has another advantage for young skaters: a little bit of leeway in the sizing, so you won't have to buy a new pair six months in the future when the owner's feet have grown bigger. Meanwhile, the 22cm Tuuk blades are the perfect size for a mixture of speed, stability and agility; exactly what an ide hockey player needs.
