Bauer Supreme M1 Jr Ice Skates

• Flex: 30
• Warning: blades need to be sharpened before first use

Bauer Supreme M1 are basic hockey skates from Supreme line, intended for both recreational and amateur play. These are wider and more flexible than other versions, which makes them a great choice for newcomers who are still learning their stride and are looking for a more generous fit.

M1 boot is based on polycarbonate quarter package, which is both lightweight and offering good trade-off between ankle support and flex.

The padding is thicker than in more performance and high level play oriented models, especially in ankle area – these skates are super comfy right out of the box. It is made out of memory foam and covered in microfibre material, doing great job at absorbing excess moisture. A traditional, 30 Oz felt tongue sports an additional reinforcement, protecting your foot and shin as well as participating in the way skate locks your heel. Symmetrical toe cap gives you more room in front part of the skate, increasing comfort even further.

The LS Pro II blade holder used in M1 does not allow for swapping blade, but other than that, it is of design very similar to one found in higher end models, preserving the benefits like rigidity, precision and level of control. The blade has wider curve, being flatter than in higher end models which is once again by design to make M1 more welcoming to newcomers, providing a more stable base.

The blade is not pre-sharpened, so be sure to take care of it before first use!

M1 come recommended to anyone who is looking for a decent pair of hockey skates to get into the sport, but doesn’t want to drop much cash and is not yet ready for high-performance oriented models.
