Bauer Scan Data

I figure I'm not understanding why Bauer would have such drastically different fit profiles between goal skates and player skates. Kinda infuriating, actually. 

Same here. If I would know this earlier I would try to buy some Vapors instead of 1S. For me it's just put customers in confusion. They could use different names for goal skates if you did changes in overall fit of the skates.

It 100% doesn't make sense. The goalie skates also are not in the scanning machines yet. That is coming this summer. Once that comes this summer, many of these issues will go away. The machines will tell people what model to get and take a lot of the guess work out of it

As for why this happened? Bauer didn't always have 2 lines of goal skates. For awhile it just Supreme, then Vapor XXX and Supreme, then just Supreme, then just Pro or Elite, Then Supreme and Reactor, and now Supreme and Vapor

The reality is that with all that change it just sort of evolved this way

Great post! I'm in S190s now which are my first pair of Bauers ever (always wore Graf w/ the excpetion of 1 pair of CCM Tacks)... and while they're a good skate and they fit decently well in the heel and toe box... the extra room towards the top of the boot would be nice. No matter how many methods of tying my laces I've tried... my ankles get sore. Might be looking into 2Xs when available... or just the 1X as they'll be discounted.

Well, regardless of Bauer's lack of logic in their approach, I appreciate the clarification and diligence on your part.

It is frustrating.  I ordered 1S's in a EE width and didn't begin to have enough room.  After picking up a few hours here and there at our LHS I found out they can punch boots, and after having that done I FINALLY have enough room.   I never even considered the Vapor line because I just assumed the Supreme was more of a volume fit, and the Vaper was more form fitting, just like the player skates.

You can scan goalie skates too. 

There should be more room in ankle part in Vapor goalie skates than Supreme,  but it doesn´t mean Vapor Goalie = Supreme player.

I did a scan like 6 months and it didn’t have Goalie. 

Bauer told me goalie scans were coming with 2X line 

When did you encounter a scanner with goalie boots?

and fair point on the my “math” not being fully accurate on the fits...

but it’s an easy way to remember that Vapor goal is more generous or if you were Supreme player skates, you might need Vapor goal

Goalie scan came few months ago. But you can´t order custom goalie skates. I think that option will come with 2X

Reviving this old thread to confirm that it is available right now. Ordered custom 2s Pro skates through Pure Hockey last month. I got the pro liner, 2X Pro tongue, and my name and number.

Turns out based on the scan, that I should be wearing 8.25 C (narrow skates) this whole time. I've been wearing 9D's my whole career. Ended up ordering 8.75's Because I don't like my toes touching the end of the skate.

Nice. Glad to hear that’s working. Please post pics when available

Lead time was quote at 8-10 weeks. So when they come in around mid-August, I'll be sharing.

Be sure you read up as much as you can before you go in. My store said I was the very first one and they didn't have the process exactly streamlined yet. If you want to see the liner options, they have a sample from the player skates. THe liners are mostly identical from the bottom of the ankle down, you basically just choose if you want the quick drying liner (stock) up top or you want the bottom material to extend all the way up (pro liner). You can choose between felt, standard 2s pro, and 2x pro tongue so look at the display skates for examples of the 2s pro and 2x pro tongues, and the player skate sample for the felt tongue. You can also ask for small adjustments. I hate the ankle wrap on my retail 1s so I asked them to make mine a little tighter, even though the scan accounts for your ankle wrap. Their spreadsheet will not tell you beforehand what size steel you'll be using if you end up in quarter sizes, so be prepared you might end up making some adjustments. If you want to see what the scan is like, here is mine:

If a store tries to charge you for scanning, which is no different and arguably easier than fitting skates, turn around and walk out.

One interesting question is if scans can be taken at one retailer, and then skates ordered at another. When I scanned my feet, there was no scan number or serial so I believe they are locked into the store you actually get the scan done at. If that's the case, no store should be charging for scans, because they're guaranteed the sale.
