How to Properly Fit Bauer Hockey Skates
Finding the right fit for your Bauer hockey skates is essential for comfort, performance, and injury prevention. A properly fitted skate enhances your agility, speed, and control on the ice, ensuring you get the most out of your game.
Choosing the Right Bauer Skate Fit
Bauer offers three fit profiles to accommodate different foot shapes:
* Fit 1 (Narrow Fit) – Ideal for players with low-volume, slim feet.
* Fit 2 (Medium Fit) – A balanced fit for those with average foot dimensions
* Fit 3 (Wide Fit) – Designed for players with high-volume, wide feet.

Sizing Guidelines: When you receive your skates, try them on and push your foot forward so that your toes (while flat) barely glance the toe cap.Bend your knee forward and look behind the heel of your foot down the skate. If you can fit a finger behind the heel easily, the skates are too big.A fingertip should be securely wedged between the heel of your foot and the back side of the skate. While all players might have their own preference for fit,hockey skates should be 1 ½ sizes down from your shoe size. For most players this will be close to the proper fit. For example,if you are a US Men's shoe size 9, you would want to go with a skate size 7.5.
Fit 1: Low volume/Narrow
Fit 2: Medium volume/Medium width
Fit 3: High volume/Wide width
