Step into the spotlight with Bauer"s Performance goal skate. Although the Performance is below the Pro you will still find Bauer"s cutting edge features that make this goal skate a definite performance enhancer! The boot is constructed of ballistic nylon for both light weight and durability. The interior features upgraded padding around the ankle for a more comfortable fit, and a sturdy 40oz felt skate tongue and front tongue padding to help prevent lace bite. The achilles tendon flex ankle collar provides both support and protection, and it"s construction has been improved for the 2012 model year. The cowling features the taller design that Bauer has popularized over the years with a removeable 4mm Tuuk Stainless Steel runner. Vented ports in the heel and the underside of the cowling help air circulate throughout the boot to help keep moisture to a minimum.
