Which One is Better, Bauer Vapor or Supreme?

In this #TechTipThursday, we are facing off Bauer's top-of-the-line skates to see which one is better. We go through the Bauer 3D Scanner to get the right fit and from there break down which boot is going to be the right fit!

I got the vapors. When they baked them they told me I could sit, stand, walk around, whatever. Wish I would’ve known to stay sitting!

Amazing video , new sub

I went to buy some supreme skates but they didn't fit right. I felt pain in certain spots. I was about to leave because I tought both supreme and vapor are for the same foot shape and the difference is only the forward pitch, stifftness and design. Some guy from the back of the shop told me to try vapor, because there are some differences in the foot shape they fit. Bang! The vapora x2.9s were perect fit, like socks.... So it's not only up to your skating preferences. The suoreme mach came out with a wider toe section, so I went to try .... Still no good. Hyperlite, perfect fit. So ther's still differce between them. I still have my x2.9 vapors and I love them.

Are you a narrow or wide foot?

[@aalmondmilk07]

hi coach! do you think my leg can fit vapor skates since my legs are like medium size. My country doesn't have hockey skates stores so I can't try them out

[@Nsahockey1]

I wish I could tell you, but I have no idea. I would measure my foot and compare those measurements against US foot charts to get a good idea. Things I'd measure are Foot length, width across the balls of your feet, ankle width, and instep.

[@bigmac5217]

So did the Bauer scan suggest a box size 9? And are the box sizes US? Regards Mark

[@Nsahockey1]

Suggested a 9 but I went down to an 8.5. And these are Bauer Skate Sizes, so its independent of US, AUS, UK etc foot shoe sizes. Hope that makes sense.

[@alexlopez2995]

I have super flat feet also. Im heading to Pure Hockey this Friday and hopefully they have that Bauer 3D scan there. That takes a lot of the guessing work out! I dont want to spend 300 to 400 dollars on skates for them to fucking murder my feet on the ice

[@Nsahockey1]

Exactly! Hope the fitting goes well and you get a pair of skates that your feet love.

[@therealbucket]

I feel your pain! Almost impossible to find skates that you don’t have to untie between shifts 🤦‍♂️😤

[@Aimstein]

How is the ankle protection of the Vapor? Is it more comfortable than the Supreme? Unfortunately we don’t have shops over here and I cannot try them on

[@johnkennedyjr4036]

From the sides of the skates, the protection is comparable to any other skate on the market. The tongue however, is soft so taking a shot full on may not be as protective as the Supremes. With that said, I am playing at a semi-pro level and haven’t had any protective problems, and I eat shots like it’s my job.

[@Nsahockey1]

Also, where is "over here"?

@@johnkennedyjr4036 what team do you play for? I'm looking at playing in Russia

[@ryanbey4460]

Nice wheels! I’m a Vapor guy too. Coach have you ever done a custom profile on your blades?

[@Nsahockey1]

Yes I have in the past and have enjoyed it. Nowadays I keep them with the factory setting to keep as much glide as I can

[@Acyclistandhockeysnob]

So all I ever see is the reviews and personal feelings on the Pro Level skates. What about some m info on the one step down like the Bapor 3x Pros etc. even the guys at Hockey Tutorials always say the Pro NHL boot would be too much for the normal beer leaguers, yet that only talk about the Pro NHL level skates.

[@Nsahockey1]

Good idea!

OMG is there a scanner in Europe??? 🤪

[@samuelcresswell8719]

puckstop sheffield has one

[@PlayingwthCreation]

You know I am not prepared to show any brand names on my Iceskate if they don't sponsor me, am I wrong.

[@celticstephenhill]

Ok vid... Clickbait title.

[@Nsahockey1]

Lol guilty as charged!

[@nathanmoore3942]

I did vapors once. Never again. Hatem
