Name: Bauer Supreme M30 Intermediate Hockey Skates
SKU: 305058

Intro & New Features

For 2024, Bauer introduces the new M30 hockey skate: a performance-level variation in their transition from the Supreme S-series to the M-series of skates. This skate includes many technologies tailored for a variety of players at a more affordable price point. Tech of note includes the Digi Comp quarter package, sublimated hydrophobic microfibre liner, and mesh metatarsal guard over the tongue.

Skate Fit Profile

The M30 Intermediate skates comes in sizes 4-6.5 Full and Half sizes and D and EE widths. D size is more of a standard width, whereas EE fits a bit wider for larger feet. When deciding on a skate size, a good rule of thumb is to take the player’s shoe size and drop it by 1 or 1.5 sizes.

Boot Construction & Stiffness Profile

The Digi Comp boot keeps the skates’ performance competitive without making it too stiff and difficult to skate in; this construction also optimizes the skate for speed by reducing its weight by 5% from the previous Supreme S37 skate. To keep a more traditional look and feel toward the ankle, the M30 skate uses standard symmetrical flex facing along the eyelets. Although the M30 skate is designed to be a bit more flexible for developing skaters, Supreme family skates are classified as stiffer than Vapor family skates.

Liner/Internal Padding

For the M30, Bauer used a sublimated hydrophobic microfibre liner along the inside to wick away moisture and repel odour while you play. Including this kind of liner ensures that you stay comfortable in your skates all game long without the potential distraction of a wet boot. The internal padding is made of lightweight memory foam to further increase comfort when wearing the boot.

Toe Cap

The M30 skate uses a standard toe cap to keep the construction simple and accommodate a wider variety of foot shapes and sizes.

Tongue

The tongue is made of an updated 40oz pro stock felt material with a mesh metatarsal guard. This combination of comfort and protection is designed to form fit around and over the metatarsus area for extra coverage, and the thick felt coupled with the tough exterior help shield the front ankle area of your foot from harm while you play.

Insoles

The footbed is made of die-cut EVA foam, which is a common cushioning foam found in most athletic shoes. The choice to use this foam increases comfort in the boot by adding a more familiar feel to the sole.

Steel Runner, Holder & Blade Profile

To hold the blade in place, the Supreme M30 skate uses TUUK Lightspeed Edge holder, which is the same as it was in the previous highest-end Supreme Ultrasonic skates. This holder makes it quick and easy to swap your steel as needed and if you want to try out different skate profiles on different blades. The runner is made of stainless steel to keep it lasting longer.
