SKATE CARE BASICS

If you take care of your skates, they’ll take care of you. Follow these pre- and post-game suggestions to help improve their long-term performance.

  • PERSONALIZE YOUR FIT

    Get a comfortable, custom-like fit from day one by “baking” your skates at a certified BAUER retailer. This process heats up the boot so it can mold to your unique foot shape.

    • Find your closest retailer here.
  • STAY SHARP

    Dull steel can reduce your skate’s performance, which is why we recommend getting them sharpened after every two to three hours of ice time. To do this, you can:

  • POST-GAME CARE

    It’s important to take care of your skates when you step off the ice. These tips can help them feel fresh the next time you lace them up.

    • Wipe down your blade to clear it of moisture
    • Remove and air dry the footbed
    • Loosen your laces and pull the tongue forward to air your skates out
