The Bauer Vapor FLY40 player skates use a two-piece boot with a Digi Comp outsole. A sublimated liner with Comfort Edge finishes the interior.
The Bauer Vapor FLY40 feels comfortable on the foot, and the fit can mold to its shape. The boot also feels lightweight. Its stiffness is noticeable as well.
I would not ever recommend this skate! They smell like cat urine after one wear! I always remove skates from the bag and dry them out after every wear. This is a nine year old who doesn’t have any problems with any other skates. This is the second time I have had this problem with this particular skate! They are not worth the money!
The skate boot is fine, but the tongue is a complete fail at least at the junior size 2. I bought a pair of Bauer Fly 40's for my 9yo. He skates a lot so I wanted to get him a nice skate but didn't want the Flylight boot as I thought it was too stiff for a 72lb kid. He's skated on the skate now for almost 2 months (30+ hours on ice) and the piece of plastic they put in the tongue of the boot is a really bad problem. It's not anatomical and catches on the side of the boot itself not letting him get a full stride. The fly 30 has plain felt tongue, and the flylight has a better tongue as well. If I could get this skate with a different tongue, it would be fine, but Bauer doesn't sell JR sized tongue, and IMO for at least squirt aged kids do NOT buy the fly 40 until Bauer fixes the tongue issue.
Picked these up for my 7yr old. Seems like they are working well for him. He says they are comfortable.I would recommend these skates.
1st pair of skates i bought in awhile. I love them. Very comfy and they handle great.
