The Bauer KONEKT 2 goalie skate uses HINGEFLEX for up to 22 degrees of additional flex, and a flex-inhibitor screw can reduce the boot’s overall flex by up to 50 percent. Its removable ULTRALON liner is designed to enhance comfort and minimize negative space in the boot, and its thermoformable construction molds during fitting. Push-lock buckles provide a consistent fit, while rotating the wire buckles allows length micro-adjustments.
The KONEKT 2 feels comfortable. Its buckles can malfunction despite an improved locking system. Its ankle has a flexible feel.

Pretty good skates, but...
I've been using these skates for almost a year now and overall, they are pretty good skates. The hinge ankle is great! I've also never had any issues with the straps. The locking mechanism is a huge upgrade from the previous Konekt. I only have 3 issues with these skates. |1. The are really tall skates for a tendy. Definitely noticeable, but not bad once you get used to it. | 2. The boot plastic seems to be a really soft plastic. The ice slices them up pretty bad over time. | 3. Last issue I have with them is that the buckles seem to rub on the boot of my pads causing fraying and damage. Not sure if it's just my pads (Bauer SV-Pros), but I ended up putting a piece of PadSkinz on the bottom boot of my pads. Pros: Lightweight, Versatile, Great Fit, Comfortable Cons: Expensive

Buckles issues
I just want to start by saying I love these skates I skated in them a couple times and I already see a big difference in my movements and skill. I wore them a week after we got them to a game after a couple of practices (I was not playing this game thankfully) but in warm ups a puck hit the side not even that hard and somehow broke the buckle. The WHOLE game standing on the bench the buckle would not stay on. I even made sure the arrows was match up right and it still didn’t work. The buckle looks fine, untouched. But it just won’t stay closed. Like I said I love these skates and would definitely recommend but please fix how sturdy the buckles are. My buckle couldn’t even stay on, with the lowest level now. I have to use clear tape to keep it on tomorrow for my game now.

Defective skate's terrible customer service.
Bought the skates at the Burlington store. Went to the Braintree store for molding but the buckle was not working. I was going to order new skates, but the Braintree store wanted to charge me for shipping. I said no thank you. I went back to the Burlington store returned the skates and they offered to send me the new skates no charge for shipping, I said OK. We received the skates only to find out that the skates we returned were sent back to us. I returned the skates to Braintree store for a full refund.

Great improvement over the Konekt 1
Bought these in a size up, as I was an in-between 9-10. First pair of Konekt 1s were 9s, and I got these in 10s. After two rounds of baking, the fit is amazing and these are the most comfortable skates I've played in. Adding the retention clips on the buckles is great for the mid-arch buckle as I never had them tight enough to stay latched. The all black looks super cool too. Pros: Great Fit, Comfortable, Fast Cons: Expensive
