Bauer Supreme M3 Hockey Skates
The Bauer Supreme M3 hockey skates are designed for recreational and competitive players. They feature a Digi Comp quarter for a lightweight and supportive fit, a memory foam ankle pad for comfort, and a traditional flex profile for a good range of motion. The liner is made of a moisture-wicking material to help keep feet dry, and the LS Edge holder makes it easy to swap out blades. The Bauer Supreme M3 skates are a good mid-range option for players who are looking for a skate that offers good value for the money.
Key features include:
| Digi Comp Quarter | Composite material that offers a good balance of support and comfort. |
| 40oz Felt Tongue | Excellent comfort and protection for your shin and top of the foot from blocked shots, slashes, and other impacts. |
| LS Edge Holder | Allows for quick and easy swapping of different steel profiles. |
| Traditional Flex Facing | A balance of flexibility for good range of motion during strides and stiffness for ankle support. |
| Hydrophobic Microfiber Liner | Wick away moisture to keep your feet dry and comfortable throughout your time on the ice. |
Top Competitors
All three skates target developing players seeking a balance of affordability, comfort, and performance. The CCM JetSpeed FT470 leans towards a stiffer flex profile for more powerful strides, while the True TF7 emphasizes a slightly lighter weight construction and a focus on heat-moldability for a more customized fit. Ultimately, the best choice depends on whether the player prioritizes power (CCM) or a comfortable, personalized fit (True).
Progression of the Supreme M3
Bauer prioritizes introducing major advancements in their top-of-the-line models (like the Vapor 3X Pro or Supreme 3X Pro) and does not explicitly advertise minor refinements made to mid-range skates like the M3.
Upgrades to the M3 line include:
- Subtle tweaks to materials, padding, and specific components including the upgraded 40oz felt tongue with a mesh metatarsal guard for protection and comfort.
- Bauer also included a sublimated hydrophobic microfiber liner with memory foam padding and the quick release trigger allowing players to remove damaged or broken steel in seconds.
| 👍 Pros |
|---|
| These skates are good for recreational players who are looking for a good balance of performance and comfort without going overboard on the price. |
| The M3 skates come with a slightly heat-moldable liner that allows for a more customized fit around the ankle. This helped eliminate some pressure points I had with my old skates. |
| They're a buy at this price point. Fit me like a glove. |
| 👎 Cons |
|---|
| The runners/steel feel cheap. Yes, it costs way less than some of the newer Supremes, but c'mon. |
| Was a little bit tight. If you have wider feet, you might want to consider another model with a wider width option. |
| If I had known you have to shell out $100+ on a steel replacement, I would have just bought higher-end skates. Weak. |
The M3 is a low to mid-level skate. It's a bit more expensive than the introductory ones, but it has the quick-release steel changer. So players can use the M3 for a lot longer than if there was no way to change the blades efficiently. It has a lot of comfort features like a thick padded tongue. It's so focused on comfort and this keeps players happier. Because when you're starting out, comfort is a bit more important. The reason I've seen people STOP using this skate is just because of the durability aspect. As people become more comfortable with their game or their skating, and they start doing different cuts and using their skates differently, the wear will happen in different areas and degrade this skate faster than higher-end models.
