Fitting Hockey Insoles at Home

You’ll need a shallow pan of water, a piece of cardboard or heavy paper, and a towel.

1. Check your footprint

Wet the bottom of one bare foot. Step onto the paper with your full weight, stand naturally, then step off. Repeat with your other foot. Compare the middle of each footprint:

Letter What your footprint shows Example
A · High arch A very narrow connection, or a gap, between heel and forefoot High arch footprint with a narrow connection or gap between heel and forefoot
B · Medium arch A clear inward curve, with heel and forefoot connected Medium arch footprint with a clear inward curve
C · Low arch Most of the foot appears, with a slight inward curve Low arch footprint with a slight inward curve
D · Flat foot Almost the whole foot appears, with little or no inward curve Flat foot footprint with little or no inward curve

2. Check your knee alignment

Stand barefoot in front of a mirror with your feet about shoulder width apart. Look at where your kneecaps point when you stand naturally:

1 points outward · 2 points straight ahead · 3 points inward

Knee alignment examples: 1 points outward, 2 points straight ahead, 3 points inward

3. Find your insole profile

Combine your footprint letter and knee number. For example, B2 means footprint B and alignment 2.

4. Find your insole size

Use the size printed on your hockey skate boot, not your shoe size or blade length.

Insole size Hockey skate size
XS 1–3.5
S 4–5.5
M 6–7.5
L 8–9.5
XL 10–11.5
XXL 12–13

Make a note of your profile and size, then return to the kit or insole page you were using. If your two footprints differ or the result is unclear, visit your closest Tydan location to help confirm the fit.
