The goalie is the last defense between the puck and the net. Quick reflexes matter, but holding your ground matters more.

Been using these for about a month now and the ankle support holds up way better than my old pair. They stay put during hard lateral pushes, no slipping around the heel. Feels like I'm planted on the crease instead of sliding out of position.
I play goalie twice a week and these have completely changed how I hold my ground in the crease. My reflexes still matter but the added stability around the ankle lets me stay planted instead of getting pushed off balance.
The padding around the ankle is thick enough that I stopped flinching on slap shots, which is the whole point for a goalie. Only gripe is they run a bit snug, so size up if you wear thick socks.
