If I Know My Shoe Size, What Size Inline Skates Should I Get? 

X to the fracking D that is funny

Frfr

Nice! What did you get?

Back to Blading. I got the Rollerblade NJ. It was my first choice of 7 skate i was looking at. But your review helped me a lot on making my final choice. I haven't skated in almost 17 years I think. Hopefully everything goes good. Thank you for your vids.

Sweet! I think you’re gonna love them. Just be mindful of those insoles, lots of forward lean. If they ride weird for you at first, try swapping the insoles for the ones in your shoes and see if that helps.

Back to Blading thank you for the tip. I'll keep that in mind..

Agreed. Standards are good. Everyone has a ruler, just go with standards.

Back to Blading I really hate all own US/UK/EU interpretations of brands so, let's just drop these and go for it! 😎

hows it going

Sizing is tough. And I bet that 8 m12 would be perfect with a new liner. The 8/9 share a boot

That’s a tough one. Personally I’d go with the 41-42 and wear really thin socks. Heat molding your liners will give you a little more space too.

It’s the longest portion of your foot, so really depends which toe is longest.

you need to test it out like he said lol and mesure it correctly

Yeah man, I've heard that before. Have you tried the K2's or Carbon Free? I've heard they're pretty wide.

Back to Blading No, I never have. Skates I stayed with the longest were some Genesys, or upsized RBs. Rode Xsjados for a while too, but I just didn't like the soul plate design, despite the comfort. Now I have some SL2s (the Yuris) cut to pieces on the inside to give me space and I just take them off every 30 minutes or so to get some pressure off of my feet. Nice thing about them being a skinned SL2 is that you can't see on the outside how much I have butchered on the inside.

Yikes! I‘m a 285 as well and loved the Imperials. The Swell are a bit tight, the Aeon and VII fit great. Powerslide sizing can be all over the place! What skates are you interested in? What sort of skating ?

@@BacktoBlading Thanks for the reply! I have the 11,12 for the Aeons and they're perfect. I was looking at the NEXT skates that have the sizing i mentioned above.

Yep, people do it. Depends on the material I'm sure, but showing something in there to stretch out the carbon or plastic is definitely something people do.

Typically the liner has the measurements you need. The shell is usually designed to fit multiple sizes. So if you're a 28cm foot, you'd be a size 10 liner, but in the USD Aeon you'd have the same skate shell as the size 9.

Unfortunately I think your feet are the wrong size for Aeons. You really don’t want to go to that bigger size, they’ll feel like boats. Maybe the USD Sway would be a better fit for you.

@@BacktoBlading Thanks for the feedback. I'm actually considering the Razor Shift now, but unsure about the sizing for me. Like I said, my largest foot is 243mm, and the smallest shift shell size 6/7 is 273mm, so that's a 3cm difference between the shell size and my foot. The 6 liner would be 240mm and the 7 liner is 250mm, so I'm almost in between the sizes. Do you think that would work for me, or is the 3cm difference between the shell length and foot length just too great and result in a sloppy fit once the liners break in? Thank you!

Absolutely! I’d pull out the liner and stick your foot in the shell first though, just to make sure you’ve got room.

I ended up heat molding the liners and used a heat gun to fix some pressure points. They're perfect now! Thanks for the reply!

wear two pairs of socks

@@hallovelo9573 bro 💀

Yeah, they have a stretchy toe area to fit two sizes. Heat molding will open it up a bit and is recommended

I wonder the same thing, I bought Aeon 41-42 and my toes touch the front of the liner, I tried to put a bigger liner in and it felt good so I really hope the Aeon liner will stretch a bit:) How does your feel now?

@@morelove619 what liner did you replace with?

@@DanielVazquez Salomon liner! But I tried to ride the Aeons for about 1 hour and it felt much better so I really think they will feel really comfy soon:)

Short: Get to know the mondopoint list from your desired skate and use their chart for conclusion of sizing. Long story: It really depends. I have heard of some people downsizing even their ice hockey skates like three or more sizes. I am not quite sure how they actually do it without hurting their feet. But it depends on the size chart of the different brands. Like for Powerslide HC Evo Pro EU 46 the mondopoint is 296 while on Rollerblade Crossifre Carbon their EU46 mondopoint is 298mm. Almost every company is true to their size chart. But keep in mind that almost every skate company doesn't give numbers on their wideness, while some pricier ice hockey skates do (Bauer, CCM etc.).

Appreciate the hint! If someone asks me a question, I assume a dozen people haven’t asked yet.

It’s confusing for sure. I’ve been able to find a few translation guys online for foot size and foot width. Give them a search

@Isai Garcia what did you decide?

@Isai Garcia lmao nooooo....lol ......thats to funy , mine came in yesterday and I love them . Your turn

I’m 28.5 and go 44. Try that

@@BacktoBlading okay thanks man

This is the reply I was looking for. I haven't rollerbladed since I was a teenager, but we have some great trails in my area, and I've been wanting to get back into it, but I'm having the hardest time sizing my feet. I did the feet against the wall thing and measured. My right foot is the biggest, and I'm coming up with 28.5 cm, exactly like that guy in the video, but he says he's in a size 10. I wear a size 13 wide shoe, like you, so I'm confused.

​@@jameslackey8683 I bought Rollerblade Lighting 80s. I would rate a good entry skate. The only downside was the top cuff area on my right ankle got kind of ground up using my normal ankle socks. I bought some nice thick work boot calf socks and they've been fine since. For the actual fit my big toe is roughly 3/4" to 1" back from the front of the shell. My pinky toe hits right at the beginning of the shell curve where it narrows. I have wide feet and if the shell was even 3/4" shorter in length my pinky would be smashed into that boot shell outside curve area and I would have toe pain. My feet are wide even in wide men's 13 US skechers shoes, so I could actually use a slightly wider shell. As I've been breaking them in their feeling more comfy. If I went with the size chart on the Rollerblade site I'd be in a 12 and they would have gone back immediately. Even a 13 I believe I'd suffer a bit, although I did skate Rollerblade 13's in my teens. I think my feet are fatter and wider now. Good luck, brother! Make sure to buy some wrist protectors/gloves with plastic protector disc and elbow pads. I got to amped up and went full speed, fell, and destroy the palms of my hands on rough asphalt. Like ground beef. I got knee and elbow pads, and Rollerblade fingerless gloves with plastic protective disc on the palms since then and I've had about 5 hard falls and I barely felt them.

@@jameslackey8683 I typed a long reply, but it disappeared for some reason. What I said was in the Rollerblade Lighting 80s size 14 skates I bought my big toe is 3/4"-1" from the front of the shell. My pinky toe is right up against the side of the shell at the exact part it begins to curve. If the shell was even 3/4" shorter it would be squashed into that curved section and I'd be in pain. Although I wore Rollerblade size 13 as a teen, my feet seem to have gotten fatter and wider in my old age. If I had narrow feet I could probably do a 13, but not with my wide feet that are almost too wide for men's Skechers 13 Wide shoes. Rollerblade 11 or 12 would be a total no-go. Go for 13 or 14. They include a foot sizer insert pad that tightens the skates. I tried it and it was too tight even on a 14. Some random notes about the Lighting 80s: A good entry skate. The right ankle/boot cuff was gouging my skin so I had to get some calf length thick work boot socks that fixed the issue. I had moderate heel pain when I started doing longer skate sessions, so I bought a gel heel pad at Walmart. I might have gone with Lighting 90s for the bigger wheels if I was more proficient, but I haven't bladed for 20 years. After wrecking and turning the palms of my hands into ground beef I bought Rollerblade fingerless gloves with the protective plastic disc on the palms along with elbow and knee pads. When I start practicing parallel/power slide I'm going to get the hip and tailbone padded under shorts. Good luck, man!

Measure your feet in cm and let me know

Ha! I would if they fit me.

I’m not a shop, just a dude (named Lawrence). Maybe try Loco skates in the UK?

It shouldn’t feel cramped or uncomfortable, that’s for certain

Depends on the skates. Usually that’s a size 42. Some 42 skates are bigger than others though. Check the skate shop listing for their guidance for the skates you like

Measure your feet in cm, that’s the best way to know for sure.

Yeah I’m a size 7 in women’s and measured 24cm. Which puts me at a size 5 in skates. Just bought the aeon 60’s at 5-6 and my guess is ur likely in that range too.

Through translation, this is good advice! Buy the skates that fit your feet, regardless of performance or review. Obrigado!

It’s something I’ll make sure to measure from now on

Noted :)

So your foot is probably >=32 cm? That is really rare for inline skates. But after a short research Rollerblade might have some up to 14.

Lol, as always

It'd be a 11 then. It's okay to have skates that are a tad bigger than one that doesn't fit you at all. You'll be able to get a thicker aftermarket liner if it doesn't fit snugly.

Ok, I like it but enough people don't that I'll kill it. Thanks for the feedback.

You have got to be kidding me? Go skate instead of giving this guy a hard time about the music in his vid and providing YOU information
