Bauer Vapor Hyperlite 2 - Used Pro Stock Hockey Skate - Size 8 Fit 2

How to Fit Skates

As a starting point, most people’s ideal fitting skate will be 1-2 sizes smaller than their shoe size (probably closer to 3 sizes for women), but this is just a guideline rather than a firm rule.

For first time buyers, you can order relative to your shoe size, but it may be easiest just to get a proper measurement of your foot.  To do this, place a piece of paper on the ground against the wall.  Standing barefoot on the paper with it and your heel tight to the wall, mark off where your big toe reaches to at the furthest point.  Repeat this with your other foot.  You can use these marks to get a measurement of the length of your foot (in centimetres ideally).  If they are significantly different measurements, you may want to look into getting skates where the left and right boot are different sizes, but for most people they will be similar and you can just go with the larger measurement of the two.  Using this number, you will be able to find manufacturer recommended lengths for each skate size, like on the chart below that Bauer created for use with their skates.

For many players, the width of the skate will be just as important as the length.  Typically, skates will have a width ranging from C (Narrow) to EE (Extra Wide).  You can see a chart detailing the most commonly available widths below. Most commonly these widths will be listed with the size (i.e. 9EE), and if there is no width listed it is safe to assume it is standard width (D).

SHIPPING

HockeyStickMan is happy to service customers every day with shipping orders all across North America! Gear is shipped using UPS & FedEx because the added reliability & flexibility of working with the two biggest couriers in the world helps us get our customers their order as fast as possible.

Hockey sticks are kind of a funny item to ship, expensive to send you just one, but pretty much the same cost to ship 2, 3, 4 or 5. Therefore we charge a flat rate of $19.99 for Ground ($21.99 with Signature) and $29.99 for Express (within most areas of the United States and Canada).  

Note:

• The flat rate does not cover the full cost of most shipments. 
• FedEx/UPS does not go to some areas so we have to ship USPS or Canada Post.

Used Products

Used items in all cases are FINAL SALE and are not eligible for return or refund.  No exceptions.  This applies to items that are purchased as used, or were purchased new and have since been used.

The only exception to the Used Product Policy is for Goalie Pads, Gloves, and Blockers.  Used Goalie Pads, Gloves & Blockers can be returned if a buyer has contacted customer service or submitted a return request within 1 week (7 days) of the item(s) being received.  

HockeyStickMan offers this as we understand the sizing and fit of these items are exceptionally finicky, and quite often very expensive to take a leap of faith on purchasing without seeing/trying on first.

In the event that a customer would like to return a Used Goalie Pad, Glove, or Blocker, the item must remain unaltered and in the condition it was received in.

Returns are for store credit only.  Additionally, the customer will be responsible for a return fee to help us towards the return shipping cost on these items.  This is generally just $20.00, but can be more if you reside outside of Continental NA or in a remote area.

If you would like to submit a return or exchange request, please do so here.  Our team will review all requests within 1-2 business days.
