Best 5 Ice Hockey Skates for Kids

Finding the right hockey skates for your child is going to depend mostly on the shape of their foot. So even if you buy the best skates out there if they do not fit properly, they aren’t doing any good.

I am going to start with one of the best brands out right now. The Bauer Vapor X:60 junior ice hockey skates are fresh. These skates may be a bit pricey but are worth every cent. There are so many features that these skates offer to list but the main message your child will be sending is “see you later!”. They are lightweight, easy to break into and provide amazing acceleration making them the ultimate in high performance speed.

Next on the list are the Nike Bauer Supreme One 95 junior ice hockey skates. These babies are designed with the performance needs of an elite player in mind. Kind of similar to the Bauer X:60 these skates offer anatomical thermoforming technology which allow the skate to mold your child’s foot for an excellent fit. Providing your child with a 360 degree personalization of their foot that comes along with supreme comfort. The blade on these skates is a bit longer than others which gives maximum contact with the ice which gives off more power in every stride. The skates may cost a pretty penny but are worth the money considering the comfort that they provide.

One pair of ice skates you must consider are the Graf Supra 735 the 09 models. These skates will start them off with a powerful push. Just like the skates I already mentioned the construction of these skates also lets your child’s foot heat the mold of the boot for added reinforcement. The ankle padding on these skates offer maximum foot comfort and will help lock the heel into place. They have a durable toe cap that provides ultra protection. These skates are an excellent choice and the price tag on these wont scare you away.

Fourth on the list with a more affordable impression are the CCM Vector U+ Pro reloaded ice hockey skates. These skates are made with a U foam technology that allows the skate to form the ankle without any limitations. They also added soft foams that improve the step in comfort. The construction of the heel pocket coupled with the U foam allows the heel to lock into place. Very much like the other skates I mentioned but for a cheaper price. These are lightweight and will give off great foot speed and acceleration.

Last but not least we have the RBK Junior 6K Pump ice hockey skates. These are a great choice for beginners and they are not too expensive. They are not as light as the other skates I have mentioned but you can’t go wrong with these skates. They offer all the great qualities of the leading brands. These skates will keep their feet dry and provide protection against odor causing bacteria and other micro-organisms. Over all I think these skates are great providing all the basics, structure, stability and durability.

Remember that all ice hockey skates should be tried on no matter what. That is the only way your child is going to know if the boot of the skate fits comfortably enough for them or not.
