- I am a fairly small person, but I have a wide smile and wide feet!
wide(st) foot dimensions: 9.75" long, 4.25" wide
Street shoe size: 8 | Running shoe size: 8.5
I bought Impala's, Chicago (men's), Candigurl and Moxi Panther skates. I also tried on Moxi Lollies... in a search to find roller skates that fit well. There is not a lot of information about the fit of (artistic/outdoor jam) roller skates for wide feet, so I hope this gives you a better idea of sizing.
this just solidified my purchase for the panthers! thank you for addressing the “wide foot” subject!!!
Glad you found the video helpful Lexie! Happy skating ;)
I ordered Beach bunnies and unfortunately am not very happy they are too tight... How did the panthers work out for you?
@@colleenedgren5143 You can fix the tightness with different lacing techniques. I had to lace mine different because they were too tight in the toe box. RUclips has loads of videos on different lacing techniques for roller skates.
Me too. Thank you!!!
Wow. In all of the internet, THIS is the video I needed. Fantastic! I have a small, but wide foot and this video came right on time.
Aww, so glad you found it useful. Scroll through the comments: other skates for wide feet recommended were Riedell Boardwalks (Riedell are actually the manufacturer of Moxies, btw); moonwalks, and Chaya's. Let me know which ones you go for!
@@pauralikelaurawithap6706 I finally settled on the Boardwalks! Price point was too good to pass up and it would be months before I can find a Moxi Panther in a decent price range!
@@jamivice166 Yaas! You know, they were actually my first choice. Classic tan would've been my Jam!
As a fellow wider feet person, you’ve sold me. It’s an expensive start but why not just dive right in!
I have two pair of Chaya's and love them. They work for wide feet but I've been jonesin for a pair of black suede skates and I've loved the look of the panther since I started skating 6 months ago. I kept hearing how Moxie works for narrow feet so I've been concerned about dropping the bucks for the panthers. Your video was super helpful.
This video was really helpful, I purchased the Sure Grip and they came the same way with the over lacing and I have a long foot with a need for comfort at the top part being wider. I was watching as we do video after video for suggestions and found your's to be to the point and what I needed. I see no other videos though, hope you consider updates and sharing or a link to other viewing. Much thanks!
I just ordered impalas in an 8 (what I measured per their chart) and they're so tight. Definitely returning them and saving up for panthers.
So excited for you! The panthers are a bit different (WAY stiffer) and still getting used to them. But AT L(E)AST they fit. Also, check out Sure grip suede roller skates (the "boardwalks"), too!
Im a guy with wide feet and my first pair were impalas 💀 my poor feet. They hurt so bad lmao. Also the boot upper started pulling up and ripping off of the back of the heel with two weeks of use. I emailed impala, and they asked for my adress and then ghosted me. 💀 i have a pair of panthers on the way now.
Hi, what is your foot length in cm/inches? if you don't mind me asking. I am really struggling to understand skate sizes. No stores in my country so I have to order online.
As a fellow paddle-footed person, Ive been squeezing my poor feet into Reidell 120s for a long while now. So uncomfortable / painful. Good to know there are options for us!
Try moonlight for wide feet they are so comfortable
I have the MoonLight moon boot and then got the Moxi lolly. I love them both. I originally started with impalas. But I just could not skate very long with them. But with Moonlight or my Moxi I feel like I don't need a break in period.
I have wide and flat feet and have been looking for skates all over but was so unsure my foot is 4 1/2 inch wide and about 10 inch length wise. You have been so help. I appreciate you so much. Now time to save lol
So glad the video was helpful~ it'll be worth it! Skates have been so hard to come by anyway, most will not become available again til next spring. FYI- the Chicago men's skates were a very affordable option and fit (w no ankle support however ;)
I try sure grip and fit but don't have my size, boardwalk is nice but sold out then last choice is Jackson not too bad that the one sell at the moment. I try Moxi like u said too narrow for my feet same Impara the frist one I bought after frist day cant waer coz sore foot. Thank you for information.
@@arthandmade741 im think about getting moonlight i seen reviews saying the toe box was wider than other skates. If you get a minute definitely worth a look but expensive
@@EricaJoi2013 thank you very much. I am in Australia I will find that brand look nice aswell. ^_^ I hope I can get some in here
Hi, were your feet measured while standing up right? Or sitting? I notice I have a smaller measurement when sitting.
People with wide feets, yall should checkout Chaya's skates! They're sooooo comfy for me
Which ones? I have bunions and definitely need something wide 🙃
@@kels9089 i have the chaya melrose deluxe in cobalt! 😄
@@ikizagirl i have the same but i get a bit of pain actually on my toes :( i am currently trying different lacing techniques though
@@centref0lds1 I suggest heat molding. Use a hairdryer and blow the inner boot on high, then stuff them full with like socks or newspapers etc. As full as you can. Lace them really tight as you fill. Then heat the outer part, while kinda pushing/pinching the boot, give more attention to the part that bothers you (don't blow at the same spot for too long tho, Keep moving). this helps stretch out the boot further. Other people suggest just using your own feet to do this, but I like to leave mine stuffed a few days.
@@centref0lds1 oh wait no, lmao. I actually have done it on one of my skates, my Chaya Elites. The fit was a bit narrower than the deluxes and was biting my small toe. I heat molded it and the fit was better afterwards.
Thank you! Just throwing this into the fray, but Lenexa Savanna boots were a perfect fit for my wide feet and tall instep. I'm significantly bigger in heft than OP with slightly larger feet but quite a bit wider (8.5 women's, just under 5" wide, 10.50" instep, 200+ lbs, 5'7"), there was zero break-in required for me in a pair of size 8 Savannas, everything fit perfect from day one with even a bit of space in the sides so I think these would work for the other struggle-foot folks that are bigger than me too. The sizing is only in women's though, it goes up to W 10 but the price vs quality is on point. I selected them for myself based on Reddit research.
I have order the Panther, because of your video for wide feet.... your video is also to find on Google...lol
thank you SO much for measuring the insole - i also have wide feet and also wear size 8 normal shoes, so that’s very helpful :]
my biggest concern with buying skates is i heard a lot of them are narrow, so this is very helpful! thank you!
@@potato.pancake so glad to hear the video was helpful. good luck in your search for skates~
I feel your pain I have flat wide feet with bunions on both feet🤦♀🤦♀😂😂
Love the video! VNLA also makes skates that are wide feet friendly. I have both the VNLA Parfait and Luna skates and they're perfect for my wide feet.
Sweet~ gotta check them out!
I have wide and flat feet, and I bought the suregrip boardwalk skates. They're super comfortable
Nice~ Love the style and the colors are retro rad, too! I really wanted them, but they were backordered for almost half a year when I decided to start skating..
Damn it! I wish I would have seen this before I bought mine! I got the beach bunnies, I laced them up according to how I saw on a video on the moxi page. I have been eyeing these now but I need to learn how to skate and then upgrade lol.
Lol, nice! Check out the Riedell Boardwalks too. The beach bunny's probably dont fit too different than these tbh. Happy Skating 🤗
Fantastic video, thank you! I am the same size as you, with wide feet at the front, but fairly narrow ankle. I had the same issue finding skates; Lollies were too narrow, but some of the wide skate were too boxy and my heel would move around. My skate shop is out of Panthers, but I've ordered Moxi Rainbow Riders, and Riedell Orbits - wish me luck!
awww- thanks! happy to hear it was helpful~ cannot wait for you to get your new skates. Hope one of them works out for you
Hello, so, can you make an update on how they feel?
VNLA brand also runs wider in my opinion if someone out there needs more options
Thanks for this! I've got wide feet too and just ordered. This vid confirmed for me :) That tip on lacing every other eyelet is clever! What toe caps do you have on those? I like the look of those.
Awesome~ excited for your skates to arrive! The toe guards I have on my panthers are Suregrip toe caps (not guards). Theyre currently unavailable at Amz but you might try other skate shops: Fritzy's or figureskatingstore.com. I Love Them and theyre super practical.
How have the panthers broken in? Are they still pretty stiff?
Yeah, they are. The tongue is a very thick synthetic material and so is the boot, even though it has a suede outer. I have definitely gotten used to it, but it aint gonna be what it aint ;) Still no regrets because the [edit:]moxi lollies did not make my feet feel good.
This is more than helpful for me. I was very curious about the panthers. And there was so much back and forth on if they were good for wide feet, thank you.
Youre welcome. Also, fyi the Panthers were not my first choice.. since we're past the quadskate shortages, Id also check out the Suregrip Boardwalks!
Thank you so much for sharing this. I appreciate you so much.
What toe guards are you wearing? Ty for the informative video!
The toe guards are Suregrip toe guards! I got them online and they look like theyre sold out now. I LOVE THEM!
So why didn't you like the lollies? I just ordered a size 9. Hopefully they fit. I do have wider feet but according to size chart they are not considered wide. I usually wear a size 11 in boots but 10 in sandals. All my boots have a lot of room in toes so after watching and reading everything I wear a size 10. So I am hoping 9 will fit. Just worried it will be too narrow and therefore too small please advice. Guess I will see. I was ecstatic just to find lollies somewhere. I thought I hit the jackpot but we shall see!! Good for you skating! I'm a derby player and need new skates after wearing out my old ones. Didn't realize skating was all the new rage and skates are completely sold out. Very sad but glad people are starting to see how amazing the culture is!!
I tried on a friend's lollies. The boot was too long (expected because she has longer feet ) but waay too narrow for my comfort level. The lollies will stretch though since the outer boot is suede. I just didnt want to stretch them out w my feet ;) I hope yours fit!
@@pauralikelaurawithap6706 thank you for the response. How are the panthers treating you after 2 months?
How did the moxi panthers fit because I wear a 10 and I’m ordering a 9 in the panthers so how does yours fit
We must be foot sisters. Thank you for the video information.
:) I am happy to hear it~~ check out moonlight skates, too. I wouldve tried them out too if they were available last fall
My feet are apparently too wide for Moxi roller skates, I am getting the moonlight roller skates.
Nice-- wish I had known about moonlights sooner. they look amazing!
@@pauralikelaurawithap6706 they are pretty cool but sadly pretty overpriced imo
Paura, thank you SO MUCH for this video! I got a pair of Impala's and was so sad that they were narrow and painful and that I had to return them. I was concerned about how long it would take me to find the right fit and your video was PERFECT for helping me decide because we, quite literally, have the same size feet. HAHAHA! Thanks, again!
What kind of socks are they thick socks to
Thank you for sharing! I have wide feet as well and it always bothered me that I couldn’t rent the regular sizes. I will give them a try
heya, glad you found the video helpful. @Mido Nono mentioned Moonlights and Suregrip boardwalks were actually my first choice! Be sure to check them all out. Happy skating~
@@pauralikelaurawithap6706 will do!! Thank you!! 💖💖💖
My feet are slightly wider 4.35", so I'm really excited to get round to ordering the moxi panthers once they're restocking.
Yay~ I'm excited for you! If youo find that theyre tight, try lacing every other eyelet on the foot part of the boot. *Not the ankle! You want to lace all eyelets on the ankle for support :)
@@pauralikelaurawithap6706 Yess I will definitely try that! I’ve been looking for all sorts of information on wide feet and rollerskates that would fit my foot. My boyfriend eventually sent me your video and I immediately ordered them. Soo thankyou❤️
I just got mine in and they fit (almost) perfectly! My bunion is pressured, but it will get better after wearing them for a bit longer I'm certain! :)
@@baukjeh Yay!! So glad to hear it. If you have thick bottomed socks, I sometimes with remove the insert (of my left foot which is wider and has a bunion, too :) Happy skating~~ and link us to any vids you upload!
anyone with flat and wide feet who have these ones?
Where is the video of you skating?
Thanks!!
Great vid. Wide feet analysis heaven 😄
I literally have wide feet but I clicked on this video because I thought it said "roller skates for wide fest" and was expecting some kind of skating festival 🙃💀
LOL~ I want "roller skate wide fest" !
great, thank you for the helpful content!
Where u get your light wheel I like them
I got them on amazon: www.amazon.com/Nezylaf-Luminous-Installed-Skateboard-Accessories/dp/B0978DF1SV/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?crid=2O8TRO1X1PYKP&keywords=light%2Bup%2B78a%2Broller%2Bskate%2Bwheel&qid=1648577382&s=sporting-goods&sprefix=light%2Bup%2B78a%2Broller%2Bskate%2Bwheel%2Csporting%2C74&sr=1-2-spons&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEySFhUOEg5V1BZTkREJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwNjU3NTc3MTJJUFBPTks3Wk03SyZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwMzUwMTA5MlFHS0paUUMzSElKJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfYXRmJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ&th=1
I like your blue socks
Also which wheels did you get and how are they? Thanks so much very helpful stuff!!
Hiya, I swapped out the original Moxies with Radar 62mm wheels w hardness of 76a. These are great outdoors. Occasionally, I skate inside my apartment and theyre great for that too ;) I also got purple suregrip bushings and new bearings!
@@pauralikelaurawithap6706 Hi, thank you so much for the video. Do you haver the link for the wheels with lights? I Love the. Thank you!!! 🙏
Hi, was your foot length measurement taken while standing up straight? Or seated? I wear 8 to 8.5 as well but my foot measures 10.1 inches: I had my sister take mine while standing straight. Just trying to figure out why our measurements are different even though we wear the same size. This would also help me alot with skate sizing.
Oh yeah forgot to mention I notice I have a smaller measurement when sitting or if I place my foot on a low table to measure.
@@patreecemcintosh8036 Hiya good points~ I took my measurements standing with my heel against a wall. I was barefoot at the time, so my measurement is slightly larger with socks on (and I wear socks with all my sneaks and boots, so that could definitely account for the size discrepancy.
@@pauralikelaurawithap6706 okay thank you for answering.
What size did you get everyone keeps telling me to get an 8
I am a 8,8.5 and I got an 8 in the Moxi's. They're a bit long but I like em that way. Check out the size chart for Moxi, they day to go down 1 size from your street shoe size if you're in the US~
@@pauralikelaurawithap6706 what do you mean a bit long like does your foot touch the tip?even w a thick sock?
I bought inline skates from impalas fit well on my left, and tight on my right foot even though I sized up to a 9! I'm also a wide on both feet with size 8.5 on my right and 7.5 on the left 🥺 next time I'll get quad skates from moxie. I should have taken consideration for that 🥺🥺
Sorry to hear the right boot doesnt fit as well~ You could try skipping eyelets on (top of ) the foot part of the boot... but it is super important to lace all the way up the boot for ankle support!

What size width are your feet? I'm considering getting the impala inline skates but am worried abt width as well :(
@@LiyaaHuang idk if it helps I fit a guy size 7 really good because their width is wider than women shoes!! I actually prefer to wear men shoes because of the width😬
@@Laticebule I'll keep that in mind, too bad I don't think impala has guy sizes haha
What size did you get the impalas in?
I got them in a nine which I knew would be one size too large. I had hoped the larger size would account for my feet being wide.
Here they are in a size 7 shop.ccs.com/impala-sidewalk-womens-roller-skates-holographic-7-0?gclid=CjwKCAiAz4b_BRBbEiwA5XlVVucwAoGq0oXk6CXbx7BA9dzac1QrVd0k3DpYsTlKUsCSF11F5PQrdRoCWpYQAvD_BwE
@@pauralikelaurawithap6706 Thnx, i usually wear a size 9 in shoes, so I’ll probably get a size 9 or 10
Your video is so helpful! Question- were the moxi lollies too narrow?
Hiya, they were for me. The boot is all leather so they probably would have stretched but I couldt find them and didnt want to break them in. They were uncomfortable narrow for me. Suregrip boardwalks and Moonlights are strong recommendations; I went with the Panthers because they were the only skates that fit and that were available during the summer surge ;)
