For those of you wondering about the oven temperature, he touched the plate the skates were on and that should give you a hint that its 175 fahrenheit or 80 Celsius.
Hi, Tyson. Thank you for this video. I've just baked my one90-th skates and am going to try them at practice this evening. Browsing the internet in order to "know-how" to bake skates at home i found some interesting tip to do this. There are some additional tips to this procedure such as Tighten the laces by pulling them outward, because pulling upward might disturb the metal eyelets, which are hot and can easily fall off during this procedure.
I wanted to comment here for anyone that has had their skates baked and srill have pain (not uncomfortable... I am talking about actually painful)... I baked mine at home and got the oven to 200° F for 15 minutes then laced/cooled... and BOOM completely different feel/fit... got rid of the ankle bone pain COMPLETELY!!! I have Bauer Supreme 3S pro skates and love them now... I was ready to give up on them completely to be honest... I think Bauer recommends 175° to be safe and mine didn't becone actually pliable until 200° even at 190° they didn't mold... some people will say "Don't do that bla bla bla..." because they watch a million UA-cam videos and think they know better... but I am telling you the baking at the store at 175° did NOTHING... I watched other videos of people baking them even hotter so I honestly think if you are ready to toss your skates like I was maybe try it... the goal is for them to mold to your feet right? Anyway thats my experience do with it what you want. Also I was extra careful to pull outward only on the laces to not stretch or deform the eyelets 👌
My skates were a tiny bit loose on me so I tried fighting them more and that didn't work so when I watched this video it has helped me fit my skates and feel just right thanks
Great video I just did it with my ccm u+ 06's. heated the oven to 200F then shut it off. Put in one skate at a time. After 1 minute checked and still felt cool. At 2 minutes it felt warm I flipped the skate and went 2 more minutes. Tied skate tight but not killing it. Waited 15-20 mins sitting down and they came out perfect. Great video don't be afraid to try this.
I found the best way for Bauer is to heat to 185 F. I check the temperature with a cup of hot water in the oven and a Thermoworks digital thermometer. Then I also wear two pairs of thick socks, to get that extra little bit of additional stretching and comfort.
Hey Ice Warehouse - Outstanding tutorial. Thank you. Bauer Vapor X900 goalie skates baked and held the fit. Set the oven for 175 - forgot to turn it off until after about four minutes but thankfully no structure damage or difference between the two. Held the mold perfectly for my goalie at first skate 24-hours later and after only three skates he say he feels like he's been wearing his new skates for a long time. USE an oven mitt cuz the cookie tray will be hot. Let's not assume this demonstration was done in 175 oven.
Be careful with CCM U+ Crazy Light (CL) skates as they have a very different type of foam. CCM includes a pamphlet that specifically states to bake at 200 degrees for 90 seconds max, then lace up, don't stand, wait 15 minutes, then wait 24 hours before using them. Do one skate at a time so that you can get it laced up on your foot right out of the oven.
My Bauer Vapor X 5.0 skates come with instructions to bake at 170 degrees for a maximum of 3 minutes. So people, like he says at the end here, pay attention to what the instructions are for the brand and model of skates you buy.
upriseandfall Glad I could help. One more thing, tie them relatively tight, BUT MAKE SURE you pull OUTWARD on the laces instead of UP. Eyelets are very vulnerable/weak immediately after baking so pulling upwards can damage/loosen them. Pulling outwards (to the sides) when lacing them puts much less stress on the eyelets and ensures they aren't weakened during this baking/fitting/lacing up process.
actually, to solve instep problems you can replace the footbed with something more comfortable, one thing people overlook when buying skates is taking care of their feet in them, the footbed can meddle with how your feet are comfortable and if you change it out for a better one you can feel and play more comfortably. the supreme line by bauer is known and notorious for being rigid and stiff, i would also suggest that you loosen your laces on the foot part and tighten them only at the top
I just tried them on my new Bauer X500's the side padding on these skates are ridiculously thick, the heat did help but I think a little longer perhaps as my skates weren't soft, still stiff after 6 minutes. My left one is more tolerable but the right one still very painfull tight.
Just done my Bauer vapid x200 warmed the oven up at 80degress c. For 3 mins then turned it off and popped the skate it for 3 mins as didn't wanna over do it. But it worked fine for me
Hi -- I recently purchased a pair of Alkali Revel 2s (an awesome boot by the way) from IW. Alkali says that they can be baked for up to 9 minutes. While I doubt I would do that anyway, I wanted to make sure that details in this video would still apply to the newest Revel (or other) boots. After all, the video was made over 10 years ago. Thanks.
It is always best to follow any included baking instructions that come with the skates. This way of baking is a sound way if you are unsure and will still help the materials mold to your foot. Brandon IW Hockey
Hi Brandon: Thanks for the reply. I did check for that before I wrote this comment. The Alkalis do not have any baking instructions included, or there wasn't any in my box at least. However, I just noticed this morning that they actually link back to this video, (alkalihockey.com/pages/heat-fit-alkali-hockey-skates). Thanks again.
That'll be 175 F, I presume? We're a bit caught between C/F here in the UK. Do you have any advice regarding Reebok pump skates; can they be baked? Ta!, -N
@armido110 I don't know about the first question but I work at an Ice skating rink, so in my opinion the factory sharpen really isn't good enough and sometimes doesn't give you the radius that the sharpener would be set to, therefore making you practice on something you're not use to. So yes, I think you should sharpen them.
Awesome video. I wear a size 17 shoe so skates are hard to find. I just picked up some Flite Chaos C-55's and they are extremely uncomfortable. Any idea Chase if these could be baked?
Nice video.. the only thing I found unclear was whether you turn the oven off right when it's done preheating or you leave it on 10 minutes after preheated.. great video tho
You should be pulling your laces sideways, so the laces pull straight out of the eyelets when tightening the laces, otherwise the eyelets may get pulled out if the soft material.
@Gibson2471 thats exactly what you wanna do bro. i work at my local pro shop so if you feel it uncomfortable around the ankle or in a way it wont break in naturally, try baking it again.
i know i can bake my Bauer supreme 160s but would i need to put it in the oven for longer or shorter cause you know this video is older and using a different model skate?
Can you bake the skates even if they were baked when I bought them? Haven't worn them in a few years and they don't feel so comfortable now. They are Mission Amp8 skates. Good video also. Thanks
If you tuck your shinguards underneath the tongue of your skate should you have your shinguards on when tightening the laces during the baking process?
Planning to bake my supreme mx3's like this... The instructions only say 3 mins though In the oven...any thoughts and has anyone else baked a high-end skate like this? Also can I leave my ccm custom fit insole inside during the process. Thx
These videos are great, keep up the great work..Going to make this my go to store for inline supplies, this same method can be used for inline skates right? i've got the rx60s and i don't want damage to the addiction wheels
I just got a set of Reebok 11K Pump skates. The instructions in the box say to put into the oven at 200F for 2 minutes... Should I do that or your way?
I have done CCM U+,CCM U+RELOADED, Reebok 9k, Reebok 11k, Bauer X:60, I got them baked at the shop and then had to bake them again at home to get a better fit. I would put the skates in the oven 6-8 min.
I just purchased Mission Axiom T7 inline skates. There is no pro shop around where I live so was going to do it on my own. Do I remove the wheels when I place them in the oven and any special technique to heat molding missions other than what the recommended procedure is?
Hey iW I notice that you never noted to remove the footbed in the skate before baking. I have read to do this. Now I just ordered the x40 from you guys but I did watch you video review on i believe it was the x60's which has the thermo foam in the footbed. I am just wondering what do you think should be done with the footbed while baking the skate.
I have some beginner hockey skates that were about $100; cheap, but affordable for me. I pretty much only skate recreationally. Is it worth it to do this just for that? I don't want to risk baking them if it won't make that much of a difference in my performance....
To anxious to try it. Figured it was baked before that it can be done again. Glad I did. Fits so much better. Thanks for your video. Never knew this was an at home option.
Pece17 Ooohhh bro that does make sense, haha for some reason I thought u meant you would wear them while playing...lol. As for skating barefooted, idk how in the world you do that!
also just so people know, with some skates if you weigh under 180 you might need to bake them, breaking in skates needs over 180lbs of pressure (ie your weight) such as grafs which take double the time to break in
I baked for 6 mins on 175 and melted the front of my boot not to mention burnt my toe! Think the may still be ok tho they are vapour x1's. Done everything to the letter, is it 175c or 175f???
I have 10 year old Bauer Supreme 7000s and just started playing again after not using them for about 5 years. Would bake them still work after all these years?
Just picked up a pair of Bauer Supreme 160's. First pair of thermoformable skates. I was told not to bother baking since they're not very stiff anyway and baking recommended more so for a high end, stiff, skate. Would it really be worth baking?
Thanks for the advice! Don't think I'll bother with mine. Seems like they shouldn't be too tough on the feet in the first place and after a few skates will probably be as good as they'll get anyway.
I recently bought the bauer vapor x60's........Out of the box they are pretty snug and the width seems to be just a little too tight for me. If I bake them, will the width of the skates loosen up just a bit? (When will my skates get a little wider? Do I just have to wait until they break in?) thanks!!
Hi - You mentioned one can stand on skates to widen them slightly; mines are a bit tight, can I just stand on them for the duration of 15 mins or so to widen, or that's not advisable?
I didn't have time for the 24 hour cooling practice everyday at the same time hockey games on weekends and ones that we don't we practice on Saturday and Sunday off haha
quick question, I got my skates baked around a month ago. they’re brand new, but whenever I skate the inside of my feet get terrible blisters and nothings helping. do you think I could be able to rebake them and maybe widen the area around the inside of the foot a bit for extra space between my foot and the inside of the skate?
Sounds like you actually have some movement within the skate. Your feet need to be locked in and if there is any movement, that will cause blistering. I would recommend getting a skate sock like our DryMax, which wicks moisture from your skin into the sock. Then check out our Foot Padding and Care, which should be able to help alleviate the pain associated with blistering. www.icewarehouse.com/Foot_Padding__Care/catpage-HSPAD.html Brandon at IW Hockey

For those of you wondering about the oven temperature, he touched the plate the skates were on and that should give you a hint that its 175 fahrenheit or 80 Celsius.
Makes sense. Thanks.
No he didn't. The baking sheet was cold
I hate to think how many people outside of America are now going to be destroying their new skates by cooking them at 175 Celcius...
Thanks

@thunderfan23 yes. no matter what you can re-bake them even if you didn't like the mold, just don't bake them to much.

Did this to my supreme one .7 s worked great thanks
That'll be 175 F, I presume? We're a bit caught between C/F here in the UK. Do you have any advice regarding Reebok pump skates; can they be baked?

As long as there is no air in the pump, you should be fine.
After you remove your foot from the skate, how tight should you re-lace it?

Worth pointing out for anyone using the metric system, 175° is in Farenheit, that's 80° Celcius.

very true. just saying you gotta be careful and use your head when doing this .
I have a pair of Tour Code inline skates? How long should I bake them for?
I have somewhat wide feet so standard skates never fit me. Should I use extra socks to make my new skates wider so they don't hurt while playing?
Hmm..the extra socks would just make it a tighter fit, though
Clever Happy Derp How so? I would only use them in the baking process to ad more width. I usually skate barefooted.

I have a pair of Bauer Vapor Extreme LE inline skates that are a few years old. Just started to use them. Is this model heat bake-able?
I have a pair of skates that are a little to small length wise. Will baking them make this better?
I have 10 year old Bauer Supreme 7000s and just started playing again after not using them for about 5 years. Would bake them still work after all these years?
Yes, the old school supreme 7000's are definitely heat moldable. Go approx. 5 minutes at 175 degrees.
I've been using my total one nxgs for a while like 4 months, they still cramp my feet, could i still bake them?
