Aetrex Skate Orthotics

Factory insoles are typically flat, thin foam pads designed only for basic comfort. The Bauer Aetrex orthotics provide structured anatomical arch support, a specialized AeroCell base for energy return, and a non-slip grip to lock your foot in place, which helps reduce fatigue and improve power transfer.

You should select the arch height that matches your foot's natural profile. If you have flat feet, choose the Low arch; if you have a neutral arch, go with Medium; and if you have high arches, select the High arch model to ensure proper alignment and support.

These are engineered specifically for the narrow, stiff shell of a hockey skate. While they provide more substantial support than a stock insole, their low-profile design is intended to eliminate negative space rather than crowd your foot, resulting in a more secure and responsive fit.

Yes, by stabilizing the foot and correcting overpronation, these orthotics help maintain proper lower body alignment. This reduces the strain on your feet and ankles, which is a common cause of fatigue and discomfort during intense play.

While they feature a perforated forefoot for airflow and moisture management, they are not designed to be machine washed. We recommend wiping them down with a damp cloth and mild soap if needed, then letting them air dry completely outside of the skate.

These orthotics are designed to be a direct replacement for your factory insoles. In most cases, you can simply remove your old insoles and drop these in, but if you find they are slightly too long, you can trim the toe area with sharp scissors to match the shape of your original insole.
