Hey Coach Jeremy, I just bought my first pair of skates for the first time since high school and I just got them baked today and sharpened. I want to thank you for your channel and sharing your knowledge and passion for the game which allowed me to repursue my passion from half a lifetime ago. I'm currently in the process of losing weight so I can get fit and join an adult league next year. I appreciate all your videos and advice. Cheers!
Hello fellow hockey enthusiasts!! I would just like to say thank you to Jeremy for all his help and videos, I know they have really helped me!! I started out as a beginner skater, shooter, and stick handler, and in just a week, I have improved SOO much!!! Thank you so much for putting in your time to help people like me!

Bought Bauer Supreme NS 2018. I didn’t bake them, but I moulded them by using a hairdryer to push down on the lace treads. Tied them as tight as possible, waited for a bit, blew them again, tightened the laces. They fit perfectly.
Regards to Glen Sharpley who played his junior hockey with the Hull Festivals in the province of Québec. Great player, swift and smooth skater Glen was. Brings back lots of memories. Cheers and be weep all!
It's pretty easy Step 1: Start youtube channel and create the best hockey videos you can Step 2: Also start Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat and Instagram accounts and add the best hockey content you can to those too Step 3: Keep on adding content and growing these accounts for 6 years Step 4: Spend almost all of your time coaching hockey, teaching hockey, playing hockey, shooting hockey videos, editing hockey videos, analyzing hockey videos, or working on a hockey website Step 5: Receive skates
The Singh if you're gonna go to a store and buy off the shelf then you'll be paying the thousand bucks but if you really want to find a deal you can. I go on forums and hooked up with a guy who could get any pair you wanted (100% legally) for $550 so I got the 1S brand new in the box and with all the warranty. Also it's good to have connections with reps, I got 3 brand new CCM Super Tacks sticks for just a little over the price of one on the shelf. Most people don't wanna be bothered looking for better deals and just walk in to a shop and buy retail but if you look in the pro stock communities online you will always be able to get the top end gear for way less. Or you could also follow Jeremy's steps, in 6 years the new Supremes might come equipped with rockets on them lol
After playing semi-pro and retiring 20 years ago I am getting back into skating since my son has started hockey. I just got the Bauer 2S...for $699. I Had them baked once and just a normal sharpening. I was going to profile them to try and match my old skate blades but decided not to after skating a couple of times. They came from the factory as a '9' so profiling wasn't necessary for me...They feel like I'm wearing sneakers. No pain at all. Great skate...
i Just started skating and picked up a set of Bauer"s from a box store. I have a fairly good background in mechanics and general ability to hack and experiment until I find what works. The skates were not very pliable and I could tell they were not allowing for the best support. So I used a heat gun to soften them up and laced them tight. This helped out quite a bit. A poor man's oven. I just stumbled on this video and see I wasn't to far off from the oven technique. My other thought was, why in the world we are still using laces on skates instead of a more secure clamp style system such as what's found on ski boots.
Just got some CCM 6092 Tacks. After heat molding them I was amazed at how the top few eyelets wrapped to the top of my ankle or lower shin. I wore them sitting in the recliner for a while before wearing them on the ice. After 4 skates they were totally broken in. Changing from a skate that is 8yrs old I was amazed at how light they are, how well they heat molded, and how much effortless the stride is.
If your old skates don't have the +4.0 holder yes the stride will be considerably different. It took me about two pickup games to get used to the extra height of the holder. You have to readjust your foot placement to account for it. Once you figure it out though it makes the strides more effortless and turns much tighter.
We walk,run,skate heel to toe. ball and socket and hinge joints. the profile must match the circumference of the individual player. The skate will support the arch and compression of the foot so profiling to circumference will optimize the body's rotation.
I saw Glen Sharpley play for the North Stars at the old Met Center when I was a kid. One of the games I was at a bat flew out out and it was Glen who batted it down with his stick and it fell onto the ice where a ref picked it up and who knows where it went. Fun player to watch!
Grrr!! Just got some really nice True cat7's today. I was not told to sit still. I stood up and did some minimal feeling around / flexing after having the hot skates heelbone tied. Hope I didn't hurt anything. The comfort and support of the different True skates felt head and shoulders above the rest of the $500-$1100 skates I tried. I can't believe the most comfortable thing I've ever put on my foot is a freaking hockey skate.
Quick update , most sites want a maximum of 2 min at max temp of 220 so if the oven was cold it usually takes 2 min maybe 3 to come to temp. Best way to be accurate is preheat oven for 3 min and then bake one skate at a time for 2 min giving u time to put your skate on and lace up while it’s hot and most moldable. Then do the same for the second skate
This just reminds me how badly my skates fit me lol. I'm in so much pain when I skate. Can't wait to get new ones. Unfortunately my feet are two different sizes and I'm on my third pair already so I'm saving up for customs lol
Heat of your foot will mold them over time. Same thing with ski and snowboard boots. Always good to try them out before baking them. Skate 5-7 times hard in a skate they’re good to go. Too much overthinking these situations these days. I used to wear a skate 2 sizes to big for me and played better than someone with a $900 skate that’s “personalized” for them. You think Gretzky molded his skates?
I agree. I started playing in my single digits with Power Play quads skates (roller). Big for me at the time but of course I grew into them. I play both ice n roller. Most times these stores that bake your skates for you don't know how to properly. I've had some bad experiences. Just play ffs lol
Coach Jeremy I bought a inline Roselle skate but I change the wheels to a blade. And today was the first time of me giving it a spin. And the blade was so sharp I can't really do plow stop or hockey stop like how I did with rental skates. And after 1 hour of skating, my legs got tired and my feet was in pain. Which was unusual, usually I would skate at least 4 hours or so with the rental skates then I feel the pain. But this time was different..
ahhhh this brings me back to the days of baking skates and wearing them around the house all the time to get them broken in before camp or the next season.
I just skate recreationally once a week or so. Have a 12.5 A dress shoe, bought expensive pair of CCMs painful for 5 years, hard to stop. Bought new pair, lighter weight, about 70% better, trying different inserts including high arch CCM. Baked skates once, perhaps try again. Best, Ken
Hi! I want to buy a pair of hockey skates but I don't play hockey, I just occasionally ice skate. I want some hockey skates bcs I am pretty good at ice skating, so I should get an upgrade. My question is: do hockey skates hurt? It will be my first pair of hockey skates so I am really curious. Thank you
Personality I would only bake top of the line skates. If you're an active player that needs them "ready" day one. I've had some negative results with baking.
I am trying to switch to hockey from figure skating and the baking part sounds awesome! I remember my figure skating trainer saying "it your feet don't hurt they aren't laced right" and baking wasn't a thing with full leather skates either so this seems so amazing to me
Eyyyy I too am a figure skater turned hockey player. Until I got my first pair of hockey skates and completely forgot the uncomfortable process of breaking in new skates 😂 I prefer to do it the old fashioned way and break em in even though it’s uncomfortable lol. It won’t be uncomfortable forever.
I got Bauer 800 skates a couple months ago. I have worn them about once a week. They tend to hurt in the arch area quite a bit. Baking helped a little but pain is still an issue. Would an insert help?
I have CCM Jetspeed - but my feet always hurts, no matter what i did, even master heated and repressed pain spots for me, seem's like i really need custom VH scates. Jeremy, please, one more thing to go. If someone has flat foot + back problems (rachiocampsis) does he must to have custom skates? Because inbalance pushing destroy's your cartilages and bones, thank you!
I got some good skates baked at uhh.. Hockey Giant or whatever in Anaheim. They baked them. I bought them at the Christmas time a few years ago and got a good deal. They hurt for a few skates but this past Christmas I spent four hours a day in them on an ODR in Alberta Canada and had ZERO pain.
I learned awhile back to stand after lacing up. This allows your standing foot profile to mold the boot. The shape of a foot seated vs. standing is different due to the pressure difference.
This sounds like a good idea, but don’t do this, after you bake skates the foot bed plastic becomes soft. Standing up in the skate will cause the footbed to warp you will also stress the materials and deform the skate.
@@xXBeastinGringoXxWell, it’s not recommended to do it in most case but I still did it to mine yesterday and they are in good shape and mold to my foot no problem, it’s for me better in my case cause it’s the position the most susceptible to be and I even retried my skates 24h after I baked them (this afternoon) and it’s super close to my feet anyway. Like I say, do it at your own risk ✨😳
Ben C I always get blisters in my skates, use gel pads around the area where you get them, I heard there were padded band things you could put around the area also
Thanks for this good video, ive been watching videos and ready all day about baking my new skates at home, i live so far from a pro shop its really not an option for me, so this helped. Also im really looking forward to the next video, ive been looking at Speed Plates for a while but have yet to try them! Keep up the good work Jeremy! Love the channel!
I have the 1S and had them heat molded at a Source For Sports as well. I still have the speed plates in, they formed pretty nicely to my feet, I like them. I had Super Feet in my Ribcores and those might just be a bit better for locking your heel in I think, I'm still contemplating going back to them but the Speed Plate doesn't really bother me enough. You should show in the next video the actual inside of your 1S after you mold it just to show people how the skate is completely shaped around your foot and your ankles structure inside compared to what a cheap skate does
I just got new skate and the first time I used them they were very uncomfortable but they were backed, but I had to get use to them cause I’ve always used already used skates before and this video was very helpful thank you!
Got a pair of Bauer one s and had them fitted and baked at a national sport. It's been two full seasons since I got them. (Just play shinny at local outdoor rink) I still experience pain in both of my feet pretty much the whole time I'm in my skates. I've had this problem my whole life, but I always had the wrong size skates, and I figured when I finally got the right size (10 EE) I figured my pain wouldn't be a problem any more. I'm very disappointed cause they were $500 skates, got them for $250 tho during the off season. But as Im probably done growing I figured I had gotten my last pair of skates for a very long time.
I just bought an entry-level True Cat5 skates for $160 on sales. They got heat molded to the shape of my feet. I had used them twice the first day for an hour, and the second time for 90 minutes with no pain, and no pressure points. The only pain was my lower back. They fit like my downhill ski boots, snuggly tight but comfortable at the same time. This is how skates should fit. It's AI age now, not cowboys and horses...BTW, I've been painfully skating on my brick-shaped Bauer and almost quit skating bc I thought this was the suffering I must endure for this sport.
If you have a ton of pain, even after baking, I'd say you probably have no arch and require a EE width. Regular width causes tons of pain to anyone with a flat foot.
I hate how you see these super knowledgeable people on youtube, but when you go to the shop all you get is "oh, that's normal, it'll break in" smh where are these super-knowledgeable people in NY? I'm a 9EE in Bauer Nexus. My first pair was a 10EE which fit fine until they broke in fully, then they were too lose. Turns out the 9EE is a prefect length (toes brush toe cap, but slide back in hockey stance) but my feet hurt like hell along the inner arch and the outside of my foot. They feel too narrow. Normal until they break in?
Christopher Dana same story here. My first pair was 9,5 EE that I bought after consulting with a pro like yors. A year after I bought them I realized that it should be 6,5 - 7.
Im willing to buy skates and my foot length is 28.1 which means 9.5 but the problem is that the skates I want doesn’t have 9.5 only 9 and 10 in Bauer and 9 is 27.7 in length so what do you suggest because the skates I want are on sale and I don’t wanna miss the chance to get them.
Not trying to brag or anything but I would consider my self as a pretty good technical skater. Can you do a video on more advanced stuff that really challenges your edges. Since I know the basic outside edge and inside sculling and inverted harts. If you could do that it would be much appreciated. Thanks love your videos
The owner seems knowledgeable...but will have to disagree on skates feeling like "second skin" if sized properly and heat molded properly. I've had crazy foot fatigue to the point where it was unbearable with CCM skates. I wear a size 10.5 shoe and bought a 9 skate. Heard Grafs were comfortable and same story. Finally bought an older pair of Nike/Bauer One 95 with Bauer Speed Plate 2.0 and got the golden fit. I've had multiple pairs of skates but the Bauers fit me so I bought 2 pairs. Should be good for a long time now..
@@neljetski1073 b.s. I play hockey fine.. I want to be more comfortable though.. I can deal with the pain and still be a beast on the ice.. I just want comfort.. And btw.. Yes, Dr. Schols work fine in skates.
I know this video is old but what temp was that oven at? I live in Kentucky where going to a hockey pro shop is waaaay out of the question and I'll be ordering bake able skates soon and don't want to mess them up.
What skates would you recommend for a wide footed, high arched person like myself. I only really ever go and skate with my little brother on the ice for stick+puck, open skate, etc and really don’t have the money to spend on super expensive custom skates. I have tried so many skates and they are just so tight around where the toe box and the fabric meet. They can’t be punched out in that area (or so I’ve been told) so I get a lot of discomfort even when just lacing up. I have resorted to wearing my brothers skates (like a size 9) even though I should only be an 8. So yea my arches are getting beat up and it’s painful but I don’t have the squishing pain from the tightness of a proper sized skate. Thanks for any suggestion
Hey Jeremy I just bought my son a Bauer supreme s27 2018 for 180.00 should I bake them or not but the insole inside says Bauer Form fit so should I bake Them?
thank you for this video! There's literally nothing on UA-cam for a good explanation for baking skates. I would like to know more detail about the actually baking process and all the details with it. how long? how hot? how to do it at home with a normal oven?
CodiTC I have an article with that info. From this video I didn't explicitly say it but I believe Glen says 200 degrees and 5 minutes for a preheated oven.
300 to 400 dollar skates for kids actually very expensive and good. I got these vapor skates for 520$ but they were on sale for 400$. And my other skate was to small and i was just so used to it, i didn’t know that I needed new ones, and when I got them (and wore them ) I realized that the skate was too small it was a nexus size 1 and I was a supreme 3 but I felt better with vapor 3 so yeah
Jeremy I'm using vapor line skates and got them in the widest size and had to get my right skate punched out and still get pain. Would the supreme line be a better option without getting them punched out. Just want to have no pain on my right foot.
Thank you coach Jeremy!!! I’m new to hockey and in junior sizes bc I have v small feet now bc of medical reasons I’m hopefully going to the family owned hockey store an hour north to go get fitted for skates in a few weeks but I don’t know if you have to buy skates right when you get fitted I just want to know my size so I can save money for new skates when my tax refund hits!! And I need new marsblade off ice training skates bc of my small feet from going down 2 shoe sizes in 4 months.
I have a pair of 2017 model pretty similar to the most recent. After a bad concussion, the first time I hit the ice again with a newly molded $800 pair of supremes. An alert sports shop worker noticed I was wearing a size too large after all these years. I needed a wider but smaller size fit so I did just that. However, although my balance isn't quite as steady after the concussion(police officer and I got pulled under a car by a drunk and was concussed) I am having problems adjusting to the smaller skate blades. I've played hockey all my life but never had this issue before. Is it out of the question to add a longer blade to the smaller sized skates I just bought? Advice would be very much appreciated,,,,,thanks, Rob
I bought some Bauer S160LE 2 years ago. I let them bake in the shop and they fitted like a second skin. They were so comfortable. Last year I only skated twice. This year I use them very often - but I have so much pain. Is it possible that they have lost their shape? Is it possible to bake them a second time or will it harm the skate?
I’ve had the vapor xxx’s for several seasons and think it’s time for a new pair. I wear a 9.5 size shoe and the skates are a size 8. I went to a store and tried on a size a pair of 6.5 and they said those are size you want. Had to test them out and hurt my feet. Need some pointers
Did someone break the plastic eyelets? the eyletes broke on both of my 1X... first broke after 3-4weeks, 2nd pair broke after 3-4 months... hope i still get warranty on them. i love the comfort they have but i start hating them cause they dont last!!! thinking about getting the x900 or a different brand with regular eyelets next if they keep breaking! my x100 were awesome and last 2 years without problems
Hey Jeremy ! I just received my pair of CCM Ribcor 48Ks in 9.5D. The length is perfect, but when I tie them up super tight, I've got a couple of painful pressure points halfway through the midfoot and the heel. Since the toe box and the forefoot feel super good width wise and I've got a relatively narrow foot, I didn't want to go with a EE, but I'm afraid those two pressure points could cause me discomfort in the future. Do you think baking the skates will diminish the pressure and the pain ? Since it's a brand new skate and still pretty stiff, I'm sure it should do but I'd like to be sure before I bake them, just so I can send them back in case. Your help would be greatly appreciated !
Cool! Can't wait to see next video, because I am about to buy a new pair of skates (CCM Ribcor 48K in my mind). I tried in shop high-end skates from Bauer, they hurt out of the box. But I had a question - is it possible to punch up and mold skate to any kind of crazy foot pattern (for example I have Flatfooted feet)? I am already subscriber for two years now, but decided to turn on notifications to not to miss next video! :)
I'm thinking of getting the S27's , what do you guys think about this skate? I only play one game a week but want a comfortable performing skate but nothing over $300 cad. Thanks for any help!
Any idea why I’m having pain at the bottom of my feet? 👣 not on the arch, but across from it, on the outside. I can’t skate for longer than 5 minutes before i have to sit down and get weight off of them.
Jeremy love the video I have watched all of your videos and learn so much from them you're a inspiration to me and why did you buy another pair of skates if you had the supertacks
Is it better to have a tight fit or loose fit before you bake. A standard width I feel pressure on ball and pinky toe. The wide width felt loose. In vapor x 600s. Would I be better buying tight or the looser. Does baking tighten the skate or loosen the skate?

You really want to bake your skates one at a time. If you bake two together, one boot will be cooling down while you lacing the first one.
Quick update , most sites want a maximum of 2 min at max temp of 220 so if the oven was cold it usually takes 2 min maybe 3 to come to temp. Best way to be accurate is preheat oven for 3 min and then bake one skate at a time for 2 min giving u time to put your skate on and lace up while it’s hot and most moldable. Then do the same for the second skate
You exactly don't want to preheat the oven but the shoes to get up to temperature slowly to avoid deformation.
This just reminds me how badly my skates fit me lol. I'm in so much pain when I skate. Can't wait to get new ones. Unfortunately my feet are two different sizes and I'm on my third pair already so I'm saving up for customs lol

I got new skates about 4 months ago. (Bauer s160)I've skated in them about 20+times. Is it too late to bake them
I think they have a foam rather than a gel so you won't get as much benefit out of baking them, but they are still heat moldable so it wouldn't hurt.
Coach Jeremy - The Hockey Movement do the s170's use gel?
the S170's have gel in them and are meant to be baked.
Coach Jeremy I bought a inline Roselle skate but I change the wheels to a blade. And today was the first time of me giving it a spin. And the blade was so sharp I can't really do plow stop or hockey stop like how I did with rental skates. And after 1 hour of skating, my legs got tired and my feet was in pain. Which was unusual, usually I would skate at least 4 hours or so with the rental skates then I feel the pain. But this time was different..

I just skate recreationally once a week or so. Have a 12.5 A dress shoe, bought expensive pair of CCMs painful for 5 years, hard to stop. Bought new pair, lighter weight, about 70% better, trying different inserts including high arch CCM. Baked skates once, perhaps try again. Best, Ken
Hi! I want to buy a pair of hockey skates but I don't play hockey, I just occasionally ice skate. I want some hockey skates bcs I am pretty good at ice skating, so I should get an upgrade. My question is: do hockey skates hurt? It will be my first pair of hockey skates so I am really curious. Thank you
Personality I would only bake top of the line skates. If you're an active player that needs them "ready" day one. I've had some negative results with baking.
I am trying to switch to hockey from figure skating and the baking part sounds awesome! I remember my figure skating trainer saying "it your feet don't hurt they aren't laced right" and baking wasn't a thing with full leather skates either so this seems so amazing to me
Eyyyy I too am a figure skater turned hockey player. Until I got my first pair of hockey skates and completely forgot the uncomfortable process of breaking in new skates 😂 I prefer to do it the old fashioned way and break em in even though it’s uncomfortable lol. It won’t be uncomfortable forever.
I got Bauer 800 skates a couple months ago. I have worn them about once a week. They tend to hurt in the arch area quite a bit. Baking helped a little but pain is still an issue. Would an insert help?
I have CCM Jetspeed - but my feet always hurts, no matter what i did, even master heated and repressed pain spots for me, seem's like i really need custom VH scates.
Jeremy, please, one more thing to go.
If someone has flat foot + back problems (rachiocampsis) does he must to have custom skates? Because inbalance pushing destroy's your cartilages and bones, thank you!
Wish there were awesome hockey stores like that here in So Cal.
I got some good skates baked at uhh.. Hockey Giant or whatever in Anaheim. They baked them. I bought them at the Christmas time a few years ago and got a good deal. They hurt for a few skates but this past Christmas I spent four hours a day in them on an ODR in Alberta Canada and had ZERO pain.
I learned awhile back to stand after lacing up. This allows your standing foot profile to mold the boot. The shape of a foot seated vs. standing is different due to the pressure difference.
This sounds like a good idea, but don’t do this, after you bake skates the foot bed plastic becomes soft. Standing up in the skate will cause the footbed to warp you will also stress the materials and deform the skate.
@@xXBeastinGringoXxWell, it’s not recommended to do it in most case but I still did it to mine yesterday and they are in good shape and mold to my foot no problem, it’s for me better in my case cause it’s the position the most susceptible to be and I even retried my skates 24h after I baked them (this afternoon) and it’s super close to my feet anyway. Like I say, do it at your own risk ✨😳
Hi Jeremy, i have bauer nsx skates and i often get blisters in them, any tips on how i could prevent this?
Ben C I always get blisters in my skates, use gel pads around the area where you get them, I heard there were padded band things you could put around the area also
I just got the ccm jet speed 300 skates a few months ago and I got them molded and they are awesome
The past 2 or 3 pairs of skates I've had I didn't need to bake. Ccms jetspeed controls were fine out of the box and so were the ft1s
Thanks for this good video, ive been watching videos and ready all day about baking my new skates at home, i live so far from a pro shop its really not an option for me, so this helped. Also im really looking forward to the next video, ive been looking at Speed Plates for a while but have yet to try them!
Keep up the good work Jeremy! Love the channel!
That store is heaven!
If you want to see heaven for real go on the net ...sport rousseau in Canada
I have the Bauer Viper X:60, will baking them widen them. My feet are are crunched on the width
I have the 1S and had them heat molded at a Source For Sports as well. I still have the speed plates in, they formed pretty nicely to my feet, I like them. I had Super Feet in my Ribcores and those might just be a bit better for locking your heel in I think, I'm still contemplating going back to them but the Speed Plate doesn't really bother me enough. You should show in the next video the actual inside of your 1S after you mold it just to show people how the skate is completely shaped around your foot and your ankles structure inside compared to what a cheap skate does
I just got new skate and the first time I used them they were very uncomfortable but they were backed, but I had to get use to them cause I’ve always used already used skates before and this video was very helpful thank you!
Got a pair of Bauer one s and had them fitted and baked at a national sport. It's been two full seasons since I got them. (Just play shinny at local outdoor rink) I still experience pain in both of my feet pretty much the whole time I'm in my skates. I've had this problem my whole life, but I always had the wrong size skates, and I figured when I finally got the right size (10 EE) I figured my pain wouldn't be a problem any more. I'm very disappointed cause they were $500 skates, got them for $250 tho during the off season. But as Im probably done growing I figured I had gotten my last pair of skates for a very long time.
i have a plate on my ankle that hurts like hell..i have the bauer s35 maybe 200 pair...im gonna try this..thanks for the tips coach
I just bought an entry-level True Cat5 skates for $160 on sales. They got heat molded to the shape of my feet. I had used them twice the first day for an hour, and the second time for 90 minutes with no pain, and no pressure points. The only pain was my lower back. They fit like my downhill ski boots, snuggly tight but comfortable at the same time. This is how skates should fit. It's AI age now, not cowboys and horses...BTW, I've been painfully skating on my brick-shaped Bauer and almost quit skating bc I thought this was the suffering I must endure for this sport.
Any idea when you are going to drop that profiling vid? About to pick up some new jets and would like to have that info. Thanks.
I got the True custom. Fits great now but at first squeezed my foot and blood not escape
If you have a ton of pain, even after baking, I'd say you probably have no arch and require a EE width. Regular width causes tons of pain to anyone with a flat foot.
I hate how you see these super knowledgeable people on youtube, but when you go to the shop all you get is "oh, that's normal, it'll break in" smh where are these super-knowledgeable people in NY?
I'm a 9EE in Bauer Nexus. My first pair was a 10EE which fit fine until they broke in fully, then they were too lose. Turns out the 9EE is a prefect length (toes brush toe cap, but slide back in hockey stance) but my feet hurt like hell along the inner arch and the outside of my foot. They feel too narrow. Normal until they break in?
Christopher Dana same story here. My first pair was 9,5 EE that I bought after consulting with a pro like yors. A year after I bought them I realized that it should be 6,5 - 7.
Canada, they’re all in Canada
New York FZ1 Rider wait are you saying that you should’ve gotten a 9ee
Im willing to buy skates and my foot length is 28.1 which means 9.5 but the problem is that the skates I want doesn’t have 9.5 only 9 and 10 in Bauer and 9 is 27.7 in length so what do you suggest because the skates I want are on sale and I don’t wanna miss the chance to get them.
And then you said your feet hurt like hell you meant in the 10 sized skates ?
Not trying to brag or anything but I would consider my self as a pretty good technical skater. Can you do a video on more advanced stuff that really challenges your edges. Since I know the basic outside edge and inside sculling and inverted harts. If you could do that it would be much appreciated. Thanks love your videos
Watch these videos and steal drills ua-cam.com/play/PLdb5V-yqAwsbwNsCnltp1bFjhTo6uvqkc.html
Hey thx for the help can't wait to get on the ice. I worked max before he is an amazing skater thx
The owner seems knowledgeable...but will have to disagree on skates feeling like "second skin" if sized properly and heat molded properly. I've had crazy foot fatigue to the point where it was unbearable with CCM skates. I wear a size 10.5 shoe and bought a 9 skate. Heard Grafs were comfortable and same story. Finally bought an older pair of Nike/Bauer One 95 with Bauer Speed Plate 2.0 and got the golden fit. I've had multiple pairs of skates but the Bauers fit me so I bought 2 pairs. Should be good for a long time now..
Hey that hockey tape is made in my town renfrew ontario
haha thats my dads home town he used to get tons of free tape from them
I want to live there. Ice hockey is so shit in the UK. That store is my dream home ha ha.
My local store offers vacuum fitting for skates. Does that work too and what are the differences between heatmolding and vacuum fitting?
How should you choose a new (lower end) skate? I have no idea how you go about it and I usually have arch pain in the skates Ive worn before
I got bauer x100 few years ago, and they fit in at the first ride.
Can you use Dr. Schols "footbeds" or massaging gel insoles? Thats what I'm thinking about doing with my $100 ccms
Bearded Mainer you need to buy more expensive skates especially for playing hockey
@@neljetski1073 b.s. I play hockey fine.. I want to be more comfortable though.. I can deal with the pain and still be a beast on the ice.. I just want comfort.. And btw.. Yes, Dr. Schols work fine in skates.
Awesome. Thanks for the info and the video Jeremy.
I know this video is old but what temp was that oven at? I live in Kentucky where going to a hockey pro shop is waaaay out of the question and I'll be ordering bake able skates soon and don't want to mess them up.
Hi Coach, just realized this store is in Huntsville. Do you know any store similar (with fitting) in Etobicoke/Mississauga? Thanks!
I'm a goalie I have 2 shutouts and I play for caps minor hockey

I just got new skates and this is really helpful
what price point for skates should you bake them? What is considered good quality and pricing?
Do you know if you could bake and punch Bauer Roller Hockey Skates and is it necessary?
What skates would you recommend for a wide footed, high arched person like myself. I only really ever go and skate with my little brother on the ice for stick+puck, open skate, etc and really don’t have the money to spend on super expensive custom skates. I have tried so many skates and they are just so tight around where the toe box and the fabric meet. They can’t be punched out in that area (or so I’ve been told) so I get a lot of discomfort even when just lacing up. I have resorted to wearing my brothers skates (like a size 9) even though I should only be an 8. So yea my arches are getting beat up and it’s painful but I don’t have the squishing pain from the tightness of a proper sized skate. Thanks for any suggestion
You were at the Huntsville source. Want to come to my lake and play some pond some time
I had never even heard of blade profiling other than ‘do you want more or less rocker?’ At least my skate blades never fell off during a game.
I just got my Supreme S2’s re-baked today at my local pro hockey life, quick in and out.. the pain from wear and tear is now in the past.
Hey Jeremy I just bought my son a Bauer supreme s27 2018 for 180.00 should I bake them or not but the insole inside says Bauer Form fit so should I bake Them?
thank you for this video! There's literally nothing on UA-cam for a good explanation for baking skates. I would like to know more detail about the actually baking process and all the details with it. how long? how hot? how to do it at home with a normal oven?
CodiTC I have an article with that info. From this video I didn't explicitly say it but I believe Glen says 200 degrees and 5 minutes for a preheated oven.
What temperature and for how long do you bake a top end skate, say Bauer 1X's in a standard oven? Thanks.
Hey jeremy just trying to figure out how many sizes down people actually go...what shoe size are you and then skate size? Thanks
300 to 400 dollar skates for kids actually very expensive and good. I got these vapor skates for 520$ but they were on sale for 400$. And my other skate was to small and i was just so used to it, i didn’t know that I needed new ones, and when I got them (and wore them ) I realized that the skate was too small it was a nexus size 1 and I was a supreme 3 but I felt better with vapor 3 so yeah
I NEED this guy to help me with skates because I have these problems
He will help you for sure as long as you buy a thousand dollar pair after taxes 😅
Jeremy I'm using vapor line skates and got them in the widest size and had to get my right skate punched out and still get pain. Would the supreme line be a better option without getting them punched out. Just want to have no pain on my right foot.
Thank you coach Jeremy!!! I’m new to hockey and in junior sizes bc I have v small feet now bc of medical reasons I’m hopefully going to the family owned hockey store an hour north to go get fitted for skates in a few weeks but I don’t know if you have to buy skates right when you get fitted I just want to know my size so I can save money for new skates when my tax refund hits!! And I need new marsblade off ice training skates bc of my small feet from going down 2 shoe sizes in 4 months.
Does the Bauer supreme m1 mold well? I was feeling it, and I did feel some gel.
Hey boss, i have some vapor x350’s and They are super stiff but the fit is awesome, little pain but just super stiff. Would they benefit from a bake?
Would it be helpful for me to bake a new pair of vapor x600s? They are kind of in that midrange where I am not sure.
I have a pair of 2017 model pretty similar to the most recent. After a bad concussion, the first time I hit the ice again with a newly molded $800 pair of supremes. An alert sports shop worker noticed I was wearing a size too large after all these years. I needed a wider but smaller size fit so I did just that. However, although my balance isn't quite as steady after the concussion(police officer and I got pulled under a car by a drunk and was concussed) I am having problems adjusting to the smaller skate blades. I've played hockey all my life but never had this issue before. Is it out of the question to add a longer blade to the smaller sized skates I just bought? Advice would be very much appreciated,,,,,thanks, Rob
I bought some Bauer S160LE 2 years ago. I let them bake in the shop and they fitted like a second skin. They were so comfortable. Last year I only skated twice. This year I use them very often - but I have so much pain. Is it possible that they have lost their shape? Is it possible to bake them a second time or will it harm the skate?
What an awesome hockey store, I wish I had something like that near me especially with a pro that can give you great advice
What is that wooden stool called that he's tying your skates in? Where can I buy that?
waitin 4 profiling movie. ive read some bout it even profiled my skates already but im interested in ur opinion
What an amazing looking shop !
I’ve had the vapor xxx’s for several seasons and think it’s time for a new pair. I wear a 9.5 size shoe and the skates are a size 8. I went to a store and tried on a size a pair of 6.5 and they said those are size you want. Had to test them out and hurt my feet. Need some pointers
Did someone break the plastic eyelets? the eyletes broke on both of my 1X... first broke after 3-4weeks, 2nd pair broke after 3-4 months... hope i still get warranty on them. i love the comfort they have but i start hating them cause they dont last!!! thinking about getting the x900 or a different brand with regular eyelets next if they keep breaking! my x100 were awesome and last 2 years without problems
Great video. Super helpful
Thoughts on waxed laces? Notice a lot of guys don't use them and I've used them from the jump.
Zach Pierce who doesn't use wax laces? They're amazing
yeah wax laces are the best, I'm shocked so many people don't realize this
Hey Jeremy ! I just received my pair of CCM Ribcor 48Ks in 9.5D. The length is perfect, but when I tie them up super tight, I've got a couple of painful pressure points halfway through the midfoot and the heel. Since the toe box and the forefoot feel super good width wise and I've got a relatively narrow foot, I didn't want to go with a EE, but I'm afraid those two pressure points could cause me discomfort in the future. Do you think baking the skates will diminish the pressure and the pain ? Since it's a brand new skate and still pretty stiff, I'm sure it should do but I'd like to be sure before I bake them, just so I can send them back in case. Your help would be greatly appreciated !
Cool! Can't wait to see next video, because I am about to buy a new pair of skates (CCM Ribcor 48K in my mind). I tried in shop high-end skates from Bauer, they hurt out of the box. But I had a question - is it possible to punch up and mold skate to any kind of crazy foot pattern (for example I have Flatfooted feet)?
I am already subscriber for two years now, but decided to turn on notifications to not to miss next video! :)
They don't use that machine with the inflatable airbladders to compress the boot? Anymore? Like for the CCM Vector Pros from the 2000s.
I'm thinking of getting the S27's , what do you guys think about this skate? I only play one game a week but want a comfortable performing skate but nothing over $300 cad. Thanks for any help!
can u bake used skates to reform to my feet?
You cant bake unless theyre heat moldable. Most skates arent, because most are towards the cheaper end
Hi, I'm planning to get Bauer S150 and I'm not too sure if I should bake it as it is a Recreational Skate
What are the tips I should take note of?
Any idea why I’m having pain at the bottom of my feet? 👣 not on the arch, but across from it, on the outside. I can’t skate for longer than 5 minutes before i have to sit down and get weight off of them.
This was a great video very informative
Jeremy love the video I have watched all of your videos and learn so much from them you're a inspiration to me and why did you buy another pair of skates if you had the supertacks
Is it better to have a tight fit or loose fit before you bake. A standard width I feel pressure on ball and pinky toe. The wide width felt loose. In vapor x 600s. Would I be better buying tight or the looser. Does baking tighten the skate or loosen the skate?
Hey guys!
How do I know if my New pair of skates can be Baked or not? 🤔 I just bought CCM super tacks 9350 (sr)
