Bauer KONEKT HF3 INT. Goal Skate

The Bauer KONEKT HF3 Intermediate Goalie Skates give growing competitive goalies a custom-like wrap and controlled forward flex in a more accessible KONEKT construction. The thermoformable ANAFORM shell and Ultralon ankle package are shaped around the foot during fitting, while the HINGEFLEX cuff lets the goalie load the ankle into a deeper stance. A Push-Lock upper buckle and adjustable lower closure make the fit quick to reproduce, and the VERTEXX Edge holder keeps runner replacement straightforward.

Bauer KONEKT HF3 intermediate goalie skate features

• ANAFORM thermoformable shell: The mouldable two-piece shell is shaped during Bauer’s fitting process to reduce excess space and create a more connected feel around the foot.
• HINGEFLEX upper cuff: A plated hinge at the rear of the boot permits up to 22 degrees of additional forward flex for a deeper stance and easier ankle loading.
• Ultralon ankle padding: Dense thermoformable foam wraps the ankle for cushioning, heel retention and a fit that holds its shape after moulding.
• Push-Lock upper buckle: The ski-inspired upper closure provides repeatable tension and is easier to secure consistently than conventional skate laces.
• Adjustable lower closure: The forefoot system helps hold the foot down and back while allowing fit tension to be tuned for comfort and control.
• VERTEXX Edge holder: Bauer’s goalie-specific trigger holder supports an aggressive attack angle and permits quick runner replacement.
• LS3G+ stainless runner: The 3 mm goalie steel offers dependable height and edge retention for shuffles, recoveries and lateral pushes.

Who should choose these goalie skates?

The intermediate HF3 is intended for goalies in full sizes 4, 5 or 6 who want more forward mobility than a rigid traditional boot and prefer buckle convenience. It is especially useful for goalies who struggle to achieve consistent lace tension. A certified fitting and complete heat-moulding process are essential to determine shell size, forefoot pressure, ankle wrap and final closure settings.
