Is $1,000 really worth it for skates? With 72% of NHL players wearing Bauer skates it’s safe to assume they make a good product. The Bauer Supreme 1S skates are some of the most technically advanced skates on the market right now. With their sleek new style look they offer not only 3 different stiffness’ for the tendon guard but also for the tongue of the skate, unlike their competitor CCM that offers none of these options. They also offer the new LS4 Steel that is much stronger than all the other models made previously. These anatomical fitting skates are a middle ground between the other models Bauer offers, Vapors which are tight fitting and Nexus which are wide fitting. With all this skate has to offer it would be a waste of time for people to even look at CCM’s skates.
