The Bauer RS Skate is a great choice for anyone from the casual roller skater to someone who is looking to play roller hockey for the first time. Bauer built the RS Skate to give the new-to-hockey player the best tools possible to properly learn the skating stride without compromising comfort or durability. The unique boot construction provides some of the best ankle support at this price, while the thick internal foams make for a comfy feel right out of the box. Lastly, Bauer used a hard, outdoor wheel so you can skate on rough outdoor surfaces like asphalt and concrete.
