Bauer Elite / Pro-tier skates.
FLYLITE
Bauer flagship Youth. Carbon composite — won't collapse under little body weight. For Mite-age (5-8) competitive players.
FLYLITE
Intermediate FLYLITE — same Vapor last + composite construction as Senior, sized for petite adult foot. Sizes 5/5.5 reportedly built on senior lasts (same molds + reinforcements as Sr 6.0). Best petite-adult option for narrow-foot female players.
SHADOW
Supreme flagship 2025-26. Outsole 40% stiffer than predecessor Mach. WARNING: heel pocket too wide for many female feet (rectangular vs triangular foot mismatch). Best for medium-everything anatomical foot only.
SHADOW
Intermediate SHADOW. Same heel-slop risk as Senior for narrow-heel female feet.
FLYLITE
Junior FLYLITE — composite construction (NOT injected plastic — won't collapse under adult weight). Viable for adults US W ≤ 6.5. Junior boots scaled to child proportions: usually need heat-molding + punch-outs to fit adult anomalies (bunions, Haglund's).
FLYLITE
Bauer Vapor flagship. Tapered toe, locked heel, low instep. Closest off-the-shelf to typical female foot. PWHL favorite. Elite players often size down extra 0.5 (-3.5 from US W shoe) for zero negative space.
