Bauer Supreme Senior One.5 Hockey Skates
The Supreme skate series was designed for the power skater who looks to maximize the energy from every stride. They have a generous anatomical fit profile, which means that you'll get a nice snug fit. At this price point, you still get some good lateral support in the boot of the One.5 skate, but it is a little softer than what you would get in the higher end Supreme models. Bauer uses a 3D Woven Nylon quarter which is nice and lightweight and quite durable. The heel and ankle padding on the inside are contoured to the shape of your foot, as is the sculpted shape of the shell for a nice "out of the box" fit. The two-piece design of the felt tongue plus the slightly higher density foam guard in the middle of the tongue makes it comfortable and helps protect from lace bite. Bauer uses a dual density beveled TPU outsole, which is a thermoplastic that is commonly used in the sporting goods and footwear industries. It's relatively lightweight and it is more forgiving with regards to rigidity in comparison to the outsole construction of higher end skates. If you're looking for nice lightweight skate with good value, take a look at the Supreme One.5 skates from Bauer.
