How do I Measure Skating Shoes Size?

Step 1: Trace Your Foot

Place a piece of paper on the floor and stand on it with your heel against a wall. Use a pencil to trace around the outside of your foot, including the heel and toes.

Step 2: Measure the Length and Width

Use a ruler to measure the length from the heel to the tip of your longest toe. Also, measure the width at the widest point of your foot.

Step 3: Add 1/2-3/4 Inch

To ensure a comfortable fit, add 1/2-3/4 inch to the length measurement. This extra space will prevent your toes from rubbing against the front of the skate. The width measurement should remain unchanged.

Step 4: Convert to European or US Size

Skating shoe sizes are typically listed in European (EU) or US sizes. Use an online size conversion chart to find the corresponding EU or US size for your measurements.

Step 5: Consider Your Foot Shape

Some skating shoes are designed for specific foot shapes. If your foot is wide or narrow, you may need to adjust the size accordingly.

  • How often should I measure my feet for skating shoes? Measure them every 6-12 months, especially for children whose feet are still growing.
  • Do I need to wear socks when measuring my feet? Yes, wear the type of socks you will typically wear when skating.
  • What if my feet are different sizes? Order the size that fits your larger foot.
  • Should I break in my skating shoes before using them? Yes, wear them around the house for a few hours to break them in.
  • How tight should skating shoes fit? They should fit snugly without squeezing your feet or causing pain.
