I often get asked what skates that I wear as guys see that they appear unique. The reason for that is because I am using a custom made (Bauer Innovation Center)  pair of Bauer Vapor X Hyperlites with the Shotblockers XT PRO (required to protect my broken foot and hence the all black look). The specific customizations that I have included are a custom size (9 1/4) for each boot and I prefer the thick "felt" tongue (instead of the new lightweight Vapor tongue). I also wanted the older TUUK holder (instead of the newer PowerFly holder). This way I can re-use my existing 280 blades.

Skate Specifications

Inside the boot under the insoles is where they document the Bauer customization specifications.

How you read these specs is that the client code (7 digits blacked out) is followed by the boot size (9 1/4), boot width (D), heel cup size (A) and the toe cup size (T9). Knowing these specs allows me to re-order the exact same skates or tweak as required.

Overall here are my specs:

  • Model: Bauer Vapor X Hyperlite (Customized)
  • Size: 9 1/4 (both boots)
  • Width: D
  • Heel Cup Size: A
  • Toe Cup Size: T9
  • Holder: TUUK - 280
  • Blades/Runners: LS Pulse Ti
  • Tongue - Large felt
  • Additional Feature: Shotblockers XT Pro
