Sizing Chart
| GENERAL SKATE SIZING GUIDELINES |
|
|---|---|
| Measure both feet with socks similar to those in which you intend to skate. Then use the measurement of the longest point and reference the model-specific size chart to determine size. How to Measure Your Feet for Skates. | |
| Proper fit has the toes not being cramped against the front. Toes may slightly brush the front as heels will settle back when in the skating position. Try on skates indoors while in a seated position. Lace and buckle both skates, tap your heels to the floor, and then stand and bend your knees to simulate the skating position. How to Try on Inline Skates for Fit. | |
| FR liners break in with skate time to free up more room. A snug fit from the start is good. * FR made a running change adjusting the US size on some sizes to more closely correspond measurements that correspond to US sizing for that size. The skate box (and/or tongue) may read 11.0/11.5 or 13.0/13.5 while this occurs, while the size of the skate will remain the same (EU, MP, and CM). |
