Skate Sizing Chart

 Fitting your skates is important. A comfortable fitting skate will allow for an enjoyable skating experience. Here are a few tips to assist in selecting the correct size: 

• Take measurements in the socks that will be used while skating. 

• Stand on a sheet of paper. 

• Have someone else place a mark at your longest toe and at your heel. The pen should be straight up and down to determine the proper length. 

• Remove the foot and measure the distance between both marks in inches; repeat with your second foot.

 • Using the longer measurement of your two feet, select the most appropriate size. Do not select a size that is smaller than the length of your longest foot. 

• Determining skate size by comparing to street shoe sizing is difficult as both are sized for different movements; skates are sized to glide with little foot movement while shoes are sized to allow for more flex when walking. 

• Skates generally have a snug fit to ensure the foot does not move; this type of fit may not suit everyone. 

• Children may need a little extra room for growth.

• Increased sizing may be needed to accommodate wide feet comfortably.
