Bauer Whistler Junior Recreational Skates

Liner & Internal Padding
The comfort liner on the Whistler skates is insulated to keep your feet nice and warm while skating. This liner is also well-cushioned, so your feet can avoid suffering from that soreness that tends to come with new skates.

Tongue
The tongue has been foam reinforced for both increased comfort and protection against lace bite. The tougher, synthetic leather front piece further keeps your ankles protected from minor impact and the cold.

Steel/Runner/Profile
The steel has been pre-sharpened, so it’s quick and easy to get on the ice right away. If you’re ordering these skates online, it’s still recommended to stop by a shop to get them checked/sharpened however, just in case they received any nicks while in transit. The holder is built for recreational skating; if the blade becomes too thin or breaks, the entire holder or skate will need to be replaced with a new blade.

Toe Cap
The Whistler skate uses a standard toe cap to fit the size of most skaters.

Lacing System
The laces are closer in similarity to those found on standard boots; they are rounded, unwaxed, and thick. These kinds of laces are still good in snow and against the elements, and they are also tough and resistant. The top eyelets are D-ring style for easier lacing and a more stylish design.

Insoles
The insoles are insulated with a comfort liner to keep the footbed both soft and warm, no matter whether you’re using them indoors or outdoors.

Graphics
The Whistler skates have a sleek, grey matte design across the shell with  brown synthetic leather splashes and a silver Bauer logo. Some of us in the shop noted that the shell design gives off a vibe that is similar to the Konekt goalie skate, but with a design closer to winter boots rather than ski boots.
