To help you get a better idea as to how inline skates should fit . A proper fit for roller skates should be about

0.5-1 size smaller than your normal everyday shoes (except Mission skates).  Toes should barely

touch the toe cap, while having no more than 1/4 inch of space in the heel. 

When finished lacing up your skates, they should feel snug with the foot resting flat on the foot bed. 

When sizing children, follow the above methods while allowing 1/2 size extra for growing room

(this can be filled easily with a couple of extra pairs of socks and will let them last longer as the

child grows). 

Most skates use this formula except Mission skates, which runs true to shoe sizes.  A poor fitting

skate can create bad habits and breakdown prematurely while holding back skate performance.

Choosing the correct skate size is important. Going too big will result in blisters and a noticeable

decrease in skating ability due to a lack of ankle stability (which is why with kids skates you should

only go max ½ size bigger).

A strong stride comes from having a boot working in unison with the foot of the skater. Consistent

foot pain is common in players that use skates they have outgrown. The bones in the foot are

cramped and put under considerable pressure with each stride. The tightness of the boot leads to

a loss of circulation, limiting the function of the foot.

Below is a guide as to how we understand the current brands of skates match against UK and US

shoe sizes. This gives you an idea of how you will measure up.

This information is provided as a guide only, as with all items you wear it depends on the item in

particular and how the person wearing likes it to feel? So we can not guarantee this guide will

work for everyone.
