How to Find the Right Bauer Runner Size
Getting the correct runners for your skates is quick and easy — you just need to know where to look. Follow the steps below to make sure you order the perfect fit.
Step 1: Flip Your Skate and Check the Holder
Most Bauer skate holders have a 3-digit number stamped on the back corner of the plastic holder (not the blade itself).
Look for a number like 263, 272, 280, etc.
This number tells you exactly what runner size your skates use.
Don’t See a Number on Your Holder?
No worries! If your holders don’t have a visible number, you can use our Bauer Runner Size Chart below to find the correct size based on your skate model and skate size.
Here’s how:
- Skate type (e.g. Supreme, Vapor, Youth).
- Skate size along the chart.
- Runner size listed underneath is what you need.

Example
Let’s say you have:
- Bauer Supreme M4 skates
- Size 8
- Fit2
You’ll flip your skate, find the number 272 on the back of the holder — this means you need Size 272 runners.
Or, if there's no number, because it has worn off or hard to see:
- Use the chart under “Supreme – Fit 2 – Size 8”
- You’ll still find that the matching runner size is 272
Ready to Order?
Now that you know your runner size, just head to our Runner Collection Page and choose the 272-size runner that matches your holder (e.g. Tuuk Lightspeed Edge, Pulse, Pulse TI).
