bauer LS4 runners... will they come in junior sizes?

[reset 0]

I've noticed that hockey monkey now has the LS4 runners for sale, but only in senior sizes.

Was going through the Bauer catalog thread and there was a post by a Bauer rep that these runners would be available in junior sizes.

Was wondering if this still is the case? the LS3 only came in senior sizes and it would be a shame if LS4s do also. I'm not too keen on the fusions or the LS2s. Anyone have any idea?

Not liking the Fusion because it's a poor constructed runner prone to breaking I understand, but what is it about the LS2 that you or the jr skater doesn't like and what do you think you'll gain with the LS4? I'm guessing they didn't make it for juniors as most kids wouldn't benefit from taller blades as they'll likely grow out of the skates in a year (still having plenty of life on the steel), as well as not being accomplished enough in skills to lean the skate over where boot contact occurs.

As for LS4 jr they had them on the sample skates down to a 238 in taller heights but the same size as LS2 below that.

Anyone else having LS4 Breakage issues?

Yes on the breakage, quite a difference in temperering/quality between them and the LS2 and 3 edges which are pretty good. I'm staying away from the 4's till they redo them.

You're looking at size 4 as the smallest for LS3 Edge. No LS4 in Junior right now as per Holiday 2015 bookings.
