Fit & Sizing
Step 1:
How Skates Should Fit
Skates should fit tighter than your shoes.
For the best fit and overall skating experience, your skate should fit as close as possible to your foot. Eliminating any foot movement inside the boot will result in more efficient energy transfer. This will maximize your control of larger wheels and/or longer frames.
For most people, this results in a skate that fits between a half-size to a full-size smaller than your shoe size.
Wizard Base and Base High boots are equipped with individually-sized Intuition liners that have been pre-molded into the shell. These liners are designed to naturally mold to the shape of your foot, and stretch by at least a half size within 10-20 hours of skating.
Step 2:
"Comfort" or "Performance" Fit?
Read the descriptions below to determine which option is more suitable for you
Comfort Fit:
Recommended for beginners or casual skaters.
Your toes should be very close, or lightly touching the end of the liner.
For comfort, it's ok if you can wiggle your toes, as long as the rest of your foot doesn't move inside the skate.
To minimize any potential pressure points or discomfort, or to leave some extra room for insoles or thicker socks, select the size range closest to you foot measurement in CM or up to 0.5cm longer. For most people, this will result in a skate that fits about a half size smaller than your shoe size.
Performance Fit:
Recommended for experienced or advanced skaters.
Your toes should be touching the end of the liner, even with some pressure, as long as your toes are flat (not curling).
To optimize the control and responsiveness of the skate, select the size range closest to your foot measurement in CM, or up to 0.5cm shorter. For most people, this will result in a skate that fits up to a full-size smaller than your shoe size.
*If you're looking for a Performance Fit, we highly recommend filling out our sizing form at the bottom of this page.
Step 3:
Measure YOUR FEET
With your heel firm against a wall, stand barefoot on a piece of paper, and trace your foot.
Measure both feet in centimeters, and record the longer heel-to-toe measurement.
Step 4:
FIND YOUR SIZE
Use the chart below to find your ideal size. Find your foot length in the first column, then view the recommended size based on your fit preference.
The size chart below does not account for the use of insoles inside the boot, which can alter the amount of space in your shell. If you need to use orthotics/insoles in your skates, we strongly advise filling out our sizing form at the bottom of this page.
Experienced skaters looking for a Performance Fit can usually downsize up to 1cm in the liner size compared to their foot measurements.
The interior space within the liner can expand up to 1cm after 10-20 hours of skating.
