Adrenaline Design Powerfoot Hockey Skate Performance Insert

First of all, I'd like to say that the customer service is stellar. I got the wrong pair of inserts (not their fault -- Eastons have shorter toe caps than Bauers/CCM/etc.) and Rob corrected it immediately. Now, on to what actually matters -- the inserts themselves. As far as comfort goes, the best way I could describe this is that these make your skates feel like tennis shoes. My skates were comfortable before, and now they're even more so. Whenever I try on skates without these inserts, it feels like something is missing. Performance-wise, not only does it give you a more positive feedback when skating, but it also gives you more stability as the toes are no longer just floating around in a giant toe box. I can't attest to its durability as I haven't had these for very long, but they seem to be holding up well so far and they're well made.

This insert changed my size 9 Easton Mako M8 EEs from a good compromise for my wide foot, to a pair of really precise and comfortable skates, really helping my performance as a recreational hockey player. It simply made me feel more in contact with my skates and the ice. My old Makos are now retired for a new pair of Bauer Supreme S190s EEs (bought on black Friday :)..), that I'm currently breaking in and even though the Bauers are more snug and tight than the Mako's, my toes are also here wiggling a bit too happily and made me order a new pair of inserts from Powerfoot. I'll let you all know how it goes, but I can't see how this can be a $25 wrongly spent based on my previous experience. Small and cheap thingy, but can have a big impact on how you're able to use your expensive skates...

These are awesome. They are very good but the glue on them goes away very fast. Only lasted me 4 months and then they started coming off. I think because of the skates absorbing water from the ice or sweat from the sock.

These were easy to install and worked great.

I’ve been skating for almost 40 years and have seen every gimmick there is (even tried a bunch). Recently I purchased a 1/2 size larger skate than normal due to lack of inventory and curiosity of roomier skates. The first time I wore them I thought I made a huge mistake. I was in such pain, primarily shin pain. I’ve experienced mild shin pain in my playing days before but nothing like this. After a short time on the computer doing research I came across these and instantly thought they were a gimmick. I was out of options so I gave them a shot and boy do I wish I’d have known about these sooner! The second I stepped on the ice I could feel a difference. I ended up using the foam pad with the shim figuring they’d slim down after a few uses. These are so amazing for my needs. I had an absolutely pain free skate as my toes weren’t moving all around in my skate. It also felt like I had so much more control! I will never skate without these again.

Does everything as marketed and adds a whole other level of comfort to your skates. A little pricey for what they are but so is dropping $50 on superfeet insoles, but each are worth it and together create an unbeatable combo. Will definitely be adding these to any skates I get in the future

I had to get new skates before this season as my last pair took a few too many beatings. The upgraded skates fit pretty well out of the box, but there was *so* much room over my toes. I'm not sure if it's because i finally have a wide skate or what, but it was a little disturbing how nothing was anywhere over them as there had always been something there with my other skates. I heard about these by accident (here on Amazon actually) and did some research and am so glad I got them! They slide in really easy and my skates fit like a glove now. They're soft so there's no pressure placed on your toes, it just fills it in perfectly. Now, not only have the skates baked to my feet nicely, my toes feel perfectly at home too and I don't have to think about my skates at all now. *Highly* recommend if you've got any extra room in the toe box as they keep your full feet on the bottom of the skate, where they're supposed to be. Update: A little over 3 years later (my skates are that old??), these are still awesome and keeping the toe box of the skate fitting great.

These were pricey for what they are. I have a slender foot and appreciate having a better feel for the toe box in my skates, but cant say they affected my skating much if at all.
