Hockey skates don't size like regular shoes. This guide will help you find your correct size — or connect you with our team if you'd like a hand.

The one thing to know about skate sizing

Skate sizing is based on foot length in centimetres, not your shoe size. Most players wear 1 to 1.5 sizes smaller than their regular footwear - but that varies depending on foot shape, brand, and model. A US size 10 shoe is not a size 10 skate.

Width and volume matter just as much. Two people with the same foot length can need completely different skates depending on how wide or deep their feet are. We'll cover that in Step 2.

Measure your feet

Use a tape measure or ruler on a hard floor. Measure both feet — most people have one slightly longer than the other, and we always size to the larger foot.

1. 1
   Foot length — Stand on a ruler or tape measure. Measure from the back of your heel to the tip of your longest toe. Write this down in centimetres (for example, 27.7 cm).
2. 2
   Foot width — Measure across the widest part of your foot and write that down too (for example, 10.4 cm).
3. 3
   Your regular shoe size — Note your US shoe size in trainers or sneakers you wear regularly and that fit well. This helps us cross-reference.
4. 4
   Current skates — If you have existing skates, let us know the brand, model, and size. Even if they don't fit well, this is useful context.
5. 5
   Photos (if you're sending measurements to us) — 3 to 5 photos of your feet without socks, from different angles. This helps us understand your foot shape and suggest the right fit width.

Understand width and volume

Once you know your foot length, width and volume determine which fit and model is right for you. Here's how it breaks down for Bauer skates — the brand we specialise in.

Scan your feet for a more accurate result

Our foot scanner measures your length, width, and volume in one go. It takes about 60 seconds on a mobile device and removes a lot of the guesswork — especially if you're between sizes or unsure which fit width is right for you.

Find your skate size

Enter your foot length and select your foot shape to find your recommended Bauer size and fit. This is a strong starting point — use it alongside the scanner result above if you have one.
