Bauer Performance Fit System

First starting in 2020, Bauer Hockey changed the skate game by introducing a three-skate fit system. Unlike traditional skate lines that have their own unique fit profile including D and EE skate widths, Bauer offers Fit 1 - Low Profile, Fit 2 - Mid Profile and Fit 3 - High Profile in select Vapor and Supreme skates.

You might be asking yourself, "Why is this such a big deal"? Well, players can now start the shopping process by finding the skate line that best fits their skating stride and skating style. Then, they can select one of the three 3D fit options that will offer a near-perfect fit.

Use the chart below to help determine which Bauer skate suits your specific skating stride and style of play.

As long as your current Bauer Hockey skates fit correctly and comfortably, you can use the chart below to dial in your Bauer 3D Fit size.

If you are using another manufacturer's skate, we suggest finding your width ratio using our How to Find Your Skate Size at Home guide and reference the more specific 3D Fit breakdown below.

Accounting for approximately 36.7% of Bauer's global foot scans, Fit 1 was designed for the low volume foot. This means players typically have a shallow heel depth, shallow instep height, minimal ankle wrap and a narrow forefoot. This is most similar to the previous Vapor D-width fit profile as well.

At a staggering 44.2%, Fit 2 will fit the most players from Bauer's 3D Fit System which means it is usually the best starting point. It offers a standard heel depth, standard instep height, medium ankle wrap and medium forefoot width that is very similar to the current Supreme D-width fit profile.

Lastly, Fit 3 accounts for about 19.1% of the foot shapes in the hockey market today. This is ideal for those that have requires deep heel depth, tall instep height, large ankle wrap and a wide forefoot.
