    Please make a chart with inches or centimetres for the length of the foot for each size. Depending on the brand, I need a different size. So, it's hard for me to say what size I am. Also, what do you do if you have a full size difference with your feet?

    I'm a figure skater and I skated in Jackson's and didn't get them fitted they where so painful and I got horrible blisters even when the skates where dead I went to get my next skates fitted and the jacksons where a size and a half too big and where wrong shape for my foot so I got risport and could land all my singles jumps after that.

      Yes! Figure skates need to be exact or you get issues with balance points on the blade. I imagine it's the same for roller skates...? For example, I think the beach bunny is a Riedell boot, correct (are all moxie skates Riedell?) ? I've got GAM and Edea boots. So I'm thinking just finding the equivalent for a Riedell would be sufficient to find correct sizing? To everyone with Jackson's, what do you find is helpful in finding the right size sans trying it on physically?

    Best advice: don’t even think about checking size before you fully lace the skate! I didn’t want to “wreck” the skate in case I had to return it so I was afraid to lace. My toes crunched at the top because the laces are what hold the foot to the back of the boot. As soon as I laced, they fit perfectly. Shoe size 7.5wide and I’m a 6 in the Moxi Lolly.

    Edit: I'm UK size 5-6 - I bought some impala skates which told me to buy my European size so I bought a European size 39 which is a UK 6, but when the box came the box said UK size 7! I googled it and yeah EU 39 says it's a UK 6 online... so I'm not sure what the deal was there. The boots are sooo roomy at the front on the impalas...

Since two out of three of the sizes matched I still went with that EUR 37/US 6. They fit me fine and I've consistently been a UK 4 across the board in major brands! Primark shoes is a whole other story though hahaha. Hope you're getting on well!

      Get a good, thick, insoles OR wear "fuzzy" socks (the soft, thick, socks often only sold during the winter). Possibly both the insoles and the fuzzy socks, depending on exactly how big the skates are. Do NOT wear two pairs of socks! Wearing two pairs of socks is the leading cause of blisters. Especially in a skate that's too large. You're trying to prevent that from happening...not trying to make it happen.

    What you were saying about the sizes was sooo true. Growing up I got inline skates and ice skates but aside from ice skating whenever i had time to go to the rink at winter (or the lake but that rarely happens nowadays here) i didn't really skate much the last, idk, maybe 10 years or maybe even 15. No one wanted to go skate with me anymore as we grew up and I didn't want to go skate alone. But starting 2019 I discovered a pair of roller skates in a sportshop nearby and seeing as I never skated on these before i wanted to have some so badly(wanted them as a kid so I went to get them with my mother, was in 1994 but the clerk at the sportshop told us that rollerskates were outdated and it's only inline skates from here on out and rolelrskates really vanished for years here in germany). I was really excited about trying out something familiar yet completely new. So buying inline skates and ice skates for me, my mother was told to always size up 1-2 sizes. As a child that made sense so you could maybe wear them the next year again. But this really stuck with me and as I was buying my first pair of skates, the chaya melrose, I read on the side I ordered from that they fit rather small and so I sized up 2 sizes. Learning more and more on my skates I got to some points where I coudln't get behind why I couldn't do this or that but I noticed that I was severly slipping inside my shoe. Just laced them a bit tighter but it didn't stop the problems, thought I might not get better but then read about fittings of rollerskates and noticed that the shoes just had too much room for my feet and they where about 3cm too loose. So I ordered a new pair in september, one that really fits like a glove and just like that I can do so much more and are so much more comfortable on my skates now. Made such a huge difference!

    So the foot measuring devices that shoe stores (sometimes) have, are they not really useful for skates?

    • @MystiqueRisingSun
      @MystiqueRisingSun 4 года назад +4

      Yes and no. It depends on the skate brand and model. Some are more accurate than others, but the best thing to do is measure your foot...without shoes, but barefoot or with socks is okay. Then use either centimeters or inches to go by instead of a number (such as a 6 is U.S. or a 37 in UK, etc.)...that's the most accurate way. Any skate company will be able to tell you what size you need based on the centimeters/inches. Also measure across the widest part of your foot, too...this helps determine if you should get a narrow, average or wide width. Again in inches or centimeters, skate companies will be able to help you better.

    Do you have any insole brand recommendations to make a slightly-too-big boot fit better?

    • @MystiqueRisingSun
      @MystiqueRisingSun 4 года назад +5

      Insoles can be expensive. Try fuzzy socks first. Only get the insoles if needed. I've got a drawer full of nothing but "skate socks" - thinner ones for certain pairs of skates and thicker ones for my other pairs of skates. LOL It's good to stock up on those socks when you do find ones that work for you and your skate.

    • @NatashaEstrada
      @NatashaEstrada 4 года назад +6

      Get a pair of the cheap foam insoles and then put them underneath the stock insoles that come with your skates. Even better if you can get a stiff felt and cut a new one. We call them growth insoles

    • @pitythefool7363
      @pitythefool7363 4 года назад +2

      #1 I love Pigeon and Indy's videos.
      #2 Try Superfeet Black insoles if you have a small volume to make up or Superfeet Green ~$50 to take up more volume. (Hint: buy slightly larger size and cut length down if you're between sizes.) They feel awesome and really support your foot. A supported foot gives you more control, comfort and less fatigue. Nearly ALL of your propulsion force goes through your feet, not to mention landing force. All-day Skaters will benefit from better insoles just like they do from better skate boots, plates, bearings and wheels. If the shoe/skate comes with a pretty good arch supporting insole already, adding a thin flat insole under the stock one might help. Top quality socks (like ski racers and runners use) are fantastic too -- putting the padding where you need it most.

  • @TheBusyfaith

    I ordered a size 7 Moxi Lolly when I am a solid 8.5 in women’s shoes. This is correct sizing according to Moxi. I do not have wide feet, but Moxi’s are quite narrow! I took my skates to a country western boot store & they stretched them for me. They fit fine lengthwise & was only tight in the toe area where the skates are narrow so I only had the toe area stretched. I could not hardly sit in these skates much less standing or skating it was so painful! After stretching they’re much more comfortable!

    I wanted to follow my usual EU shoe size which was 39, then I realised that I bought shoes that were usually too big after I measured my feet (228mm). I check the website and the size was suppose to be EU36, so on the advice of the website bought one size up which is EU37. When the skates arrive, it fit but I hate how tight and cramp it feels even though I can wiggle my toes and everything with socks.

  • @AnaDiaz-ly4ho

    Just got my Moxi panthers about a week ago! I’m usually a size 7.5-8. I tried on the size 7 and they felt like they were suffocating my foot on the sides. The front also hurt. The 8s do feel a little big, but when I put my weight on the toe stop, I don’t slide around. I can PUSH about half an inch to the front. I’m definitely thinking about putting an insole in!

I did mention there is about a two finger gap from my toe to top of skate, the sales person told me that was fine. So i bought them... now i am thinking they may be more wiggle room than i want.

    Hi Indy & Pigeon,
    Please remind people we are not symmetrical. One foot is usually a little bigger or just different.
    Shoe stretchers work. They can ease tight spots and decrease break-in time. Knowing this can help choose the right size, especially those with funky feet. Good fitting boots will help you feel the JOY OF SKATING!
    I was a rock climbing pro and I know the importance of good fitting shoes. I'm not a skate pro so maybe ask other top skaters how they succeeded with getting a better fit.

After 30 min of skating couldn’t feel it. I swapped them for 7US which is 6UK. So much different. And yes they probably go little bit loose in time but you can add arch support thicker insole which is game changer 🎉

Hopefully they'll work. Fwiw, I think my daughter's and my inline skating may have inspired our neighbors' kids to learn quad skating. The kids like to hang out with my daughter and me. Their parents don't skate, so I ordered a pair of quads to learn how to teach their kids to brake and skate safely on quads. Here's hoping things work out. BTW, I wanna learn jam skating in short order. = )

It fits but when I got my skates, I think it is a little big because it is really loose around the ankles

    I’m a size 9, I got a used pair of size 8 Lollys. My toes and sides of my feet are perfect according to this video, however with my skate fully laced I can lift my heel slightly if I tug on the skates by the trucks or push down with my toes. When I bend my foot forward, the suede definitely folds like there’s some room in there. What can I do about the back of the skate being too big if everything else is good for my weird feet? Are my skates actually too big or is this normal?

    I can't agree that if your heels slides out that the shoes are too big for you. I have narrow feet, and especially narrow heels. And I wear 10.5/11 US and I notice a huge change in width between 10 and 11. Suddenly if your foot is a bit longer, they assume it's really wide as well. So my heel slides up in most shoes I own. But if I got a smaller size, my toes would be killing me.
