  • In this episode DO MY ROLLER SKATES FIT!? I went to the NEW Moxi Roller Skate shop in Long Beach to ask the shop girls for some advice on knowing how to fit skates. Ashley, Emma, and Rosie give advice on what to do when you get your rollr skates in the mail or home from the skate shop and you are trying them on for the first time.
    Shop local and small businesses- you're making a difference in someone's everyday life when you shop small.

    Notes: you want shoe to touch every part of your foot. Shoe might feel cramped at first but after tying up laces all the way to the top, it pulls your heel back. After tying your laces, you should be able to wiggle your toes but not feel like your foot can shift back and forth. Your feet should be lying flat. Okay if it brushes up against the front sides slightly but not okay if it feels like it will push thru the front front. Make sure toes are not feeling cramped in the toe box. Make sure toe is touching the front of skate. You want it as tight as possible without toes curling. Make sure heel isn’t lifting when shoe is tied . beach bunny 1/2 to 1 shoe size down, fames size 2 down and Lolly is 1.5 down. Beach bunny are stiff and fames are v cushioned. Lillie’s are more narrow but forms to your feet. Lady size 9 = beach bunny 8. Fames size 7. I dont think they said the size of the Lollies. Half sizers should put in shoe insoles instead of 2 socks on.

      Yeah Europe is really lacking in this departement. The next shop that locally sells Rollerskates in my country would be about 4hours away from me. At first I wanted to get some Moxi Lollys next year but a german brand is launching their new modells in december. They are from Hamburg and I really want to support them cause their skates seem like they are so good and even if I can't buy them locally I'm still able to purchase them from a Company from my country. Still would want a skateshop that's not so far away to be able to go there more often for supplies. We actually do have skateshops, but they are boarders only and the area I live in doesn't really have a rollerskate community (working on that :D). Might be up to me to start my own shop once I have learned much more about skating :D

      It's only highly popularized in Southern California, Northern California and the PNW (Pacific North West) don't have any shops that are specialized roller skate/ roller blade shops. It just rains too much for outdoor skating to be popular, and it's fairly cold for 9 months out of the year. You can find skate info though at roller rinks if you're near any! If you can, try big outdoor/sports chain stores, because they usually have some skates that you can try on. Hope this helps anyone who comes across this comment!

    if they hurt at all, they do not fit. do not injure your feet with ill-fitting shoes. immediately send them back and search for a bigger size or different fitting brand.
    you want skates to fit just right so your foot and ankle are secure in the skate. you do not want any pain.

    Thanks a lot for this great video. I just bought a pair of Moxi Lolly, but they feel not right. Now I know they are too big. Hopefully I can return them and buy a size down. Thanks for the very good description of how a skate should feel in the toe area (like a sock) to be alright! Unfortunately there is no skate shop selling Moxi in my region, so I have to buy online 😢. Maybe you should start a Moxi shop in Berlin (Germany), reaching lots of customers! That would be sooooo awesome ❤

    after i tied them tighter from the bottom i was able to get the ankle where the top of the tongue is to close but it hurts my feet and still makes noise. THE THING IS… i feel its mostly thr width of my foot and not the length and i figured if i order the next size up it wont rlly help

    Having one coherent sizing system without splitting it into women's and men's seems way easier and less likely to cause trouble. Like in europe size 38 is the same for everyone. Is there any hidden benefit for these us size systems? Well I guess the same can be argued for celsius and fahrenheit, I guess.

    • @conviresco9514

    • @lurklingX
      @lurklingX 4 месяца назад

      and don't even get us started on "vanity sizes". (companies intentionally run the sizes bigger and say it's a smaller size. so that people who are obsessed with numbers can find that ONE company where they can be a pants size 10 instead of 12-14. or a dress size 8 when they should be a 9-10.) i HATE shopping because of this. guys have it way easier. things are more consistent. i cross the aisle sometimes and am just blown away at the simplicity. pants inseam and waist, in inches. DONE.
      hidden benefit.... capitalism?

      I am confused. In the Planet Roller Skate fitting video it's said that the front of your toes should not touch the boot but here it's said that your toes should touch all around. What is the right way to tell if they fit?
      I tried two sizes, both fit perfectly in the other ways that are described. Only difference they have is that my big toe touches the front of the boot in the smaller size and it doesn't with the bigger size. I don't know which one to go for.

    I'm on my third pair of skates in three months. First pair was a sure-grip Fame and I'm not sure if it was really too small or if I had them laced wrong (I have relaced them for toe room. They're manageable. I ordered a pair of BTFL's in their 11 (but theyre Euro sizes and run small.) Had to work with them, trying to stretch the toes and lace for toe room. They were manageable. Then my Lollies finally came and I got them in a 10 and they're about the most perfect boot I've had on. (I typically wear size 11 us women's sneakers or a men's 9.5)

      I'm exactly the same. I am usually a size 9.5 to 10 in women's shoe but usually go for a 10 which is pretty much all the time. I don't even bother with half size because 10's feel just fine for me. I want the Lolly s' but I am scared to go down 2 shoe sizes. I feel like a 9 would be fine but I'm not sure. I don't know which one's to buy since and I have no skate shops no where near me.

    • @MystiqueRisingSun
      @MystiqueRisingSun 5 лет назад +23

      It's actually common in the artistic world. As Te Bu said, it saves the speed hooks a little wear and tear, but it also doesn't take as long to lace them up...both are great aspects when artistic skating. You can change your wheels, your stops, bearings, cushions, laces, etc...but - unfortunately - you can't just "change" the speed hooks. Artistic skaters will do everything they can to prevent the hooks from breaking. From artistic skating to skate parks, if you skate a lot and have a boot that has the hooks, it really helps preserve them as long as possible. I got my first artistic skates when I was 12, and had them until I was well into my 30's, an artistic skater at my local rink taught me that trick when I got them, never had an issue with the hooks. 20+ years of use, not one hook ever bent in.

    "you giving someone money to get groceries" that sentence must go further!!! just sticking up for my fellow small farmer skaters- most small farms or farmers market vendors accept SNAP/WIC/SeniorBucks, so affordability ought not discourage anyone from buying and supporting local food. Also, most small farms will work with you if you find your financial situation doesn't lend itself to farmers market shopping/CSA boxes; often the farm has put aside some $ to subsidize shares and have modified payment plans available. If the cost is still prohibitive, most small farmers will teach you how to grow things (maybe even sell seed/seedlings to you at cost)! Some offer work-shares, and all are willing to lend their knowledge. Also most often, small farmers are fighting for YOU, responsible land management, and worker's rights everyday (so most folx CAN choose to spend a weekend rolling on wheels)
