Review: The Bauer APX skate is a great skate but it comes at a cost. You have to be willing to shell out $800 if you want to own a pair of these top of the line skates. My first impression of these skates was that they were a little to flashy for me, but as you look at them the look grows upon you. The whole boot is practically made of composite materials which makes it more durable but it also makes it harder to break in the skate which can be frustrating to some players. Once the skates are broken in they work very well and are for the more advanced hockey player.  If you want to own the APX skate but don't have the funds I suggest you look at the Vapor 7.0 through the Vapor 1.0. The Vapor 7.0 is a little bit cheaper but is not made of the same materials as the APX and is heavier overall.  The lower the number on the skate the less quality you are going to get.  Overall I love the APX and I would recommend it to anyone!

Rating: 11/10
