The Bauer Supreme S29 Skates are a great fit for the advanced skater looking for a high-performance boot at an affordable price. Bauer's new Fiber Composite is lighter and more responsive than the Tech Mesh of the past, the cherry on top is that it provides a better anatomical fit thanks to the updated 3D-injection process.
got this as a gift cuz my father's friend has a Bauer franchise; really excited!
For anyone out there considering these skates just get them! You won’t be disappointed totally worth the price. I got these last week only had a few skates in them but they’re really comfortable and durable. I’ve been seeing the improvement in my skating since getting these skates.
These are some of the best skates I’ve ever skated on I got these at the Bauer store pre release a couple days before it came out and I went down from a 8.0 D Vapor X800 to a 7.0 D supreme and I love them
Just bought these last night. Had them baked and my feet killed me. My old Bauer Vapor 10's were absolutely amazing and lasted me 15 years. I'm hoping these break in better.
I just bought them as well, My first game was a nightmare, the 2nd game I could feel it start to break in. Give it 4 to 5 games/Practices.
That's a sweet skate
Bauer needs a 1 piece boot. No square boxed toe anymore either. I would like to see a lower profile rounded toe like the old Easton S17 skates. So comfy!
CCM Has it on Patent so they cant :(
@@oconnor1894 What about TRUE..? They have it...
@@Aviation_Professional Most löikely has something to do with it being 100% custom fit, and literally made for acertain person.
Bought these last week. I got fitted and my size was a 7 EE. Went thru the process of getting them baked and had to wait 24 hours to skate on these new bauers. The first time I got to put these on an went on the ice. The first 2 hours were brutal on my feet. I kept re lacing every time I would do a lap. I don’t know if it’s because This is the first time I’ve ever had skates baked This is pretty much the worst skating I have ever done on a Public session. I knew I had to break them in. Skated another 2 hours later that day it still I was still having pain inside. Felt like the whole inside was on fire! This weekend I’m gonna skate on them again and break them in a lil more. I don’t know if it’s just me. They told me I have 30 days to return so if it doesn’t work out I wouldn’t recommend these skates at all and I will be returning them if they don’t work out. Will be responding in the next 2 weeks if there are any changes. I just wanna know if it’s just me or these new bauers are awful.
any Update?
I am keeping them. I know I had a lot of talk about these skates but I went through 8 public sessions already and after the 4th session they were getting better. I had the Bauer s 140’s and And the lacing is very different because I’m so used to tightening them so much on the 140’s and These S 29’s I don’t really need to do much of that. These are my first ever skates that has been baked and I noticed a huge difference. Putting on these s 29’s that have been baked is something that I needed to get used to from all of those public sessions. But other than that I’m definitely keeping them sure!
Bought them aswell and im returning them. The memory foam has to break in i get it. But i get such a lace bite from that guard protector its insane i almost cant walk in my normal shoes. Its at the top lace, and skipping it down a ring doesnt help at all. I cant lean forward without it hurting. Have you experienced this???
I havent had skates on in 10-15 years! This tongue design doesnt help much...i think actually make lace bite worse. The tongue design on the 2Spro makes so much more sense to me..contoured to the curve of top foot.. this slab stuck on top of felt seems to transfer all the lace pressure right down in the worst way. :( Anyhow..i dont think i have the strength of will to endure hours of skating foot punishment to get them broken in. I have a lower arch and im not even sure that's a problem...maybe the memory foam cause they fit like a slipper until i attemp to lace them up in any fashon that will flex this boot. Maybe 200 degrees for 10 min? :) Worst is on the inside arch just in front of and below ankle. I dont really have a high volume foot (2.5 borderline) but I'm going to test fit Nexus before I decide to keep these. S29 are 10ee..trying nexus in 9.5ee and 9.5d. I wonder if the ccm Tacks bridge a gap between Supreme and Nexus?
update: 1 I'm adding this info cause I know I really sought out these testimonials from people in search of skate fits info. Ok. So the..Nexus N2700 9.5 D arrived today.. I know it's a step below the S29 but here's my initial take... The left skate fits very well.. great wrap and toebox near perfect. What I do notice is that the Nexus toe cap shape seems to be slightly less room towards tips of toes (more triangular and slightly less room in width than supreme 10ee. This isn't a great apples to apples comparison due to the half size step down but does help when thinking about dropping a half size when crossing from one line to another. I was curious if the half size down would be a sweet spot to negate any unwanted extra boot volume. For the most part this was true except my right foot is slightly more volume and I didn't reap those middle-grounds benefits from that foot. Wide part of fore width (behind toe cap was not as wide as the 10ee so my initial lace up left me with a numb foot.. that's nothing I want to mess with (I'm 42). SO to make them work I'd have to physically widen the right skate with a punch or something.. inside and outside or both. Even at a half size smaller both arches felt better than the supreme s29. NOt comfy but much better. Biggest improvement was no trace of lace bite when walking around and doing some aggressive staggering around on carpet with gards on. One big issue I ran into was trying to leave the lowers loose enough to not numb my right foot.. it wasn't tight enough to get my heel locked back so my right toes were too far fwd to make the 9.5 work. For them to be perfect id have to punch and be able to lock the skate on w the laces. Break-in would probably solve that issue by working the foam at the ankle and allowing a tighter heel fit. SO it was lack of lacing up tight enough that wouldn't allow the skate to fit properly on my right foot. My big toe (rt) was feeling too much of the toe cap as it angle in,.. not a brush on the front. That's a difference from the supreme seems to give you more toe room and nexus gives you more width behind the toes. Take away.. the Nexus 9D is not as wide as the supreme 10EE across the wide part of foot. (no big suprise) A good skate to try for me might be a 10D in Nexus or maybe a 9.5EE which I will test tomorrow. I have a suspicion that the 9.5D is too narrow for my right foot and the 9.5EE is going to feel too big for my left foot. I could be wrong. It might be great. I know the best route might be to adapt the right skate in 9.5D by punching but I'm not quite ready to concede on that yet. One myth I think I debunked for myself is that the Nexus line is made only for people with big fat feet. Not true. My left foot laces up great with no negative space and I have a normal heel and ankle.. just a lower arch and wider slightly flatter foot. There is room around the upper for wrap but the fact I don't get lace bite means I can crank on those laces and even use the top eyelet. That wasn't the case in the supreme s29 even a half size bigger. The tongue on the nexus n2700 seems slightly lower profile.. maybe a bit less protection but it is more comfortable. I'll have the s29 10EE, the nexus 9.5D, and the Nexus 9.5EE for direct comparison in the next day or so. These skates come with slippery laces.. I'm going to pick up a pair of waxed to have on hand to help with lacing up. I'd like to add, the 9.5D has a slightly shorter runner that really feels good under my foot. Wish I could make them work. Another thing... If I decide to use a footbed, there's no way I'll be able to do it in the s29. If I go with a Nexus in a 10 I'll probably have room.. The 9.5D nexus maybe not. The nexus arches aren't buttery actually slightly tight in both but haven't baked or broken in. Pardon me for making this my fit journal lol
How would they compare to the older total one models? The model right after the old one95s?
How durable is the tendon guard? Heard there were some issues also is there any venting on the sole? Also how would these compare to CCM 4052/5092/9070? I'm looking at these it the 9070s
Hey there, they're both really comparable in terms of materials and performance, but I'd give the upper hand to the 9070's with the comfort pads on the collar as well as a vented outsole. It's a win-win either way you go! The S29 has a pretty solid tendon guard, I wouldn't worry about it.

Ice Warehouse awesome thx, last question which do you think would be more durable? I just play Beer league but I want the skates to last as long as possible
🔥🔥🔥
I’m looking to get a new pair of skates and I’m deciding between these and the Vapor x2.9’s. I’ve tried on both and love the fit of both of them, which mode would yield more value?
Jesse Buehler the 2.9s have better features
hey boys, deciding between these S29s and S180 from the 2006-2017 season. the price on both pairs is pretty much the same. Im 40 years old, playing hockey twice a week...Do you think I should go for the newer model or stick with the older one? Thx a lot for your reply!
long lasting skate is what I am looking for :-) Thx a lot man!
Heya, I tried these on today and the 8EE fit really well, but I've looked online and I can get S190's much cheaper. I was wondering if there's much sizing difference between the new and last gen models of Supreme?
Thanks, though it turns out I can't get the S190's like I hoped. Would you say the S180's are better than the S29's?
Alternatively I can spend a little more and get the Supreme Ignite Pro+ for $520 USD. How do you rate the Ignite line?
Thanks for your insight again Chase, you're a legend.
S29 or s190? What's the difference?
Victor Katilis the s29 is more alike to the s180 of last year. Comparable to both as I have been lucky enough to skate in both. I recommend the s29
Last year I bought the old on sale model vapor x600s but now I am realizing I think I bought too big of a size with 7.5. I want to get a supreme skate because I feel like my foot fits that type better. Would these skates be equivalent or close to same performance/stiffness/etc. as the x600s? Or would you recommend another skate
Or would the older model supreme 170s compare to my x600s?
I had the similar issue.Bauer changed size pattern for the skates few years ago. I got used to 7D in Supreme skates when bought Bauer 8090 long time ago. All Supreme/Vapor skates from bauer( 2014-2017) seems almost a half size bigger. So i had to switch to 6.5 EE in Vapor X700 skates . However, 2018 Bauer Supreme skates models including Bauer Supreme S29 Skates went back to the previous sizing chart. I tried 2018 Bauer Supreme S29 skates three days ago from the local bauer dealer. It fits the same way as my old Bauer Supreme 8090 skates , which is very nice
What would you say it better, the supreme s29 or s37 skates?
The Supreme S29 skates offer more performance than the S37's.

what's the best for a NEW youth/young plyer..? any CCM comparable, or this the best...
Hey John, you have plenty of options. For a first time skater, I would recommend either the Bauer NS or CCM Super Tacks 9350. These both offer excellent comfort and flexible support for the new skater. If they are new to playing but can already skate, something like the Bauer Supreme 3S or CCM Super Tacks 9380 would be the perfect choice.

Is this good for a performance player? I'm on the ice about 2-3 times a week
Most definitely! Unless you need super stiff boots via Curv composite, this is an excellent pick!
Chase at IW Hockey
Is there really no skate between this and the 2S? As a heavier player (230), I'm not sure this boot is stiff enough for me. I'm very tempted to get an s180 that's on sale.
There are some places selling in between models. They're called the Ignite series. I just bought ones called Ignite Pros. It's a S29 boot with changes to the tongue, steel, and inside liner. IW should make a video about these because they exist at many price points. I'm a little heavier than you and I'm trying these out because my old pre-Nike buyout Performance 74s need to be retired finally.
@@slowchevy01 How are they holding up for you? I'm a heavy guy around 255, played pro as well so i cant have something too flexible.
Grande 807 It's still early, as I've only used them a half dozen times, but they're still pretty stiff (even after baking them). My biggest emphasis would be to size them correctly. I came from an old skate, so I had to go down another half size to fit in modern sizing. Sadly, this also meant losing about an inch on the runner. Been throwing my center of gravity off since I tend to have a forward lean. Otherwise, comfy boot. Experiment with custom footbeds at your discretion.
Hey Warehouse which skates are better supremes s170 or these s29?
Paweł Sikora i own the s29's but im pretty sure s170 isnt bad
@r Wrong. They're basically the same skate as the S180, so marginally better.
Whats The difference between Vapor and Supreme
Vapors are more narrow in the forefoot and they have a shallow heel as well. If you have a smaller or a more narrow forefoot, in step, heel and so on, vapors are good for you. Supremes are in between the Nexus and vapors (Nexus skates have a wide forefoot and deep heel. Those are made for people with wide feets). This means that supremes are made for people with a standard forefoot and standard heel. But it’s always best to try on some different skates in a store!
So i'm coming off the s180 (which has curv)
Would the boot of the s29 be stiff enough for me a 160lbs skater who on the ice 4-6 times a week? Or would it be better to pick up another pair of s180"s.
The S29's will offer the stiffness and support you need because they are made from a new Fiber Composite. If you can find a pair of S180's for a great price though, I would be more inclined to grabbing another pair of those.

How do they compare to the CCM JetSpeed FT470?
They're honestly pretty comparable from a tech and spec perspective but the FT470 is going to have a more shallow, and narrow fit profile than the Supreme!

@@ice.warehouse One more thing, would these be better or worse than the CCM Tack 9080?
