Thank you for this advice about shell sizes and liners. I agree 100% "It's always nice to have a little bit more room at your toe." So many other people are recommending having your toes touching the end of the skate while standing straight up. I never want the tips of my toes touching anything. After skating for awhile your feet will expand. Too tight will cut off circulation. If you want to enjoy skating the skates need to be comfortable. Maybe if you are going for a gold medal you want your feet crammed into your skates, otherwise comfort is Queen. I wish I could come to your shop and buy skates. Buying online is a real challenge.

A very helpful video - especially in these times where I can't get out and visit skate shops as easily as I could pre-COVID!

awesome! thank you for the nice explanation ... also very fresh / enjoyable vibe overall with the video music and ppl

Great video. And an interesting concept in terms of stocking. Love the skate academy guys!

Really happy to have come across this video. I would like to share my last experience with buying the FR1 80 and maybe help some of you guys out. I am a size 36 (EUR) or 23 in mondopoint (my feet are 230 mm long). BUT I wear a shoe size 37 because the upper side of my heel bone sticks out so it makes my feet longer. A couple of days ago I bought a new pair of FR1 80 skates in size 37 EUR (my normal shoe size). The guy from the store strongly recommended NOT to upsize because the liners would eventually break in. After I came home I’ve tried them out and went outside to skate a little, no tricks just flat ground. An hour later I strongly felt the pressure on my big toes because they touch the tip of the liner. After I came back home I’ve tried two pairs of my old skates and in neither of them I felt my toes touching the tips. The guy in the video is absolutely right: do NOT buy the skates if there isn’t any room left between your bigger toes and the inside of the liner. You will not be feeling comfortable and eventually you will regret not having bought the bigger size. It’s not the same with the width tho: that WILL break in, so if you still have room in your toes but the skates feel too tight in the width, keep them and just wear some thick socks for a couple of days and they will get wider. The double sizing sucks indeed, because now I will have to exchange the 37 shell for a 39 shell, which is two sizes bigger instead of just one (which I need). The liner will be 38, but as you saw in the video the difference is minimal. But I’d rather have an extra sole or an extra pair of socks than to bear the pain of my toes hitting the inside of the skate. It is (as the video says) much more important to lace up well and tight so the skates hold your leg and the middle of your foot well, but it does not really matter if you have plenty of room in the toes. I have skated in way bigger sizes than my own and never lost control nor had any other complaints. This subject isn’t as popular as it should be, so I hope this helps!

Thanks :). I just ordered my fr blades and I got them a half size bigger with hopes that my toe would be pressed right at the tip but some people were telling me that was what you wanted. I feel better after watching this video :). Thank you.

Valuable information, thank you. Good to see some manufacturers going with actual true-to-size shell sizing.

Thank you so much for your efforts to share the knowledge.. Great help for us...I request you to make a video while comparing regular shoe with same size skate so that we will know whether to take slightly less or more ..because I took same shoe size skate but it's loose at the front then took one number less its good.. so if u can throw some more light on this topic it might help us more.. Thank you n all the best..

I've owned so many skates and never noticed, thanks for pointing it out 👍🏼

You should take every subject related to skating and make a video on it. I watched a lot of videos about skating... I learn so much more from your videos. The one with the bearing advice saved me a lot of money, this one is amazing about sizing... Keep going mate you are doing great.

If you would put the link to your store in the video description, that would be very helpful. Great job, keep that thing going.

I will watch all your videos because I am planning to go to your shop and buy a whole equipment to skate and then i won't have too many annoying questions hahaha

thank you for the really helpful info. One question: can you clarify your policy again with sizing? When you say "big", or "small", it's not entirely clear what you mean. Are you talking about thickness of the liners, or space *inside* the liners? Is your policy to only stock the *thickest* liners? So for a 43-44 shell, you will only stock size 43 so that it's the thickest liner, or is it the other way around where you stock the *thinnest* liner option, so that for a 43-44 shell, you will only stock size 44?

Really great info ! Do you know if the same thing happens with USD carbon and USD carbon free skates? many thanks !

About to buy my first pair of skates since I was a kid. Thanks for the help.

I never realized this, helped a lot with picking a size, thank you!

love your videos!

What is the difference in the way that womens and mens skates fit? Are mens more wide? If so, where do they tend to be wide? I am asking because I am a woman with a wide toe box, but a medium size ankle (for a woman) and would like to buy a pair of powerslide skates, but I have read that they tend to run narrow. So I was wondering if I should buy a pair of mens Powerslide skates. I live in USA, and there is no skate shop in my state that sells Powerslide, so I have to buy online, which means I can not try them on first. What would you advise?

the only video that helped...

Thank you for your explanations Really helpful

Good video! Explained it great. I’m in between with Roces. The larger size I had too much heal lift so I went smaller and used a heat gun to make more room in the toe box.

Usefull info, in 43 the options are very limited these days, with skates being out of stock. Nice know that 44 is just as good if you are planning to get an aftermarket liner in it.

Yes! Thank you. Very helpful video

I haven't watched the whole video yet so I apologize if you cover this, but is this applicable to every manufacturer? 46 was a bit too big for me (I wear 45 in shoes) and I was thinking of trying 45's on, but according to this information, they will be pretty much the same size with no noticeable difference? They are K2's.

Is the fr skate the same with liner? i am 43 shoes. my first rollerblade is 44 but i feel little big. now i want to buy frx or fr1 but i dont know what to order. 43 or 44.. help please is very important. thank you!!

Thank you so much, this is one of the most helpful videos for beginners, as many of others on your channel! I have one question regarding fr u-fr sizing. It's the fact that fr u-fr 2011 with intuition liners shell size for 43,5 - 44,5 and 45 - 46 is the same (size 10 shell). But I heard that these two sizes has same same liner sizes as well. Can you confirm or deny that?

Im planing to get a usd but online not in person, and im not sure how to choose the right size for me. Does anyone know if there is a comparison between them and any nike or adidas shoe? Like airforce for example, so i can check my size from a nearby store then order the skate

I want the UFS 5th Element I wear a 12 us in RZRs but I dnt want a huge shell can u get the 10.5 shell and put size 11.5/12 liners in them?

Is this the same for all different types of skates (e.g. 165 mounted skates)?

What m12 size would you recomend for a 255mm foot?

It sucks about the sizing, cause I buy via Amazon and I’m tired of returning because it doesn’t fit.

Can I fit a size 10 roces liner in a size 9 roces boot? Pls help.

INCREDIBLY HELPFUL

For the love of God, can someone please tell me where to find razors genesys size 14(USA) for men!

I'm size 10 in Nike women. What should I buy for skate size?

Wish I had watched this video before buying myself a size 43 skate... My feet are size 42 and I bought one size bigger not to have aching toes, etc. Now I realize they're actually 2 sizes bigger hence my feet literally swaying inside the boots... Plus they're softboots so learning parallel turns and other twisting actions is merely torture...

I have a question if you don't mind. I found that the Aeon 60 fit me perfectly in the 4 - 5 size, but the Aeon 80 only starts at 6 - 7. I want to mostly do street skating, with a little aggressive, and I like the Aeons, but would a 4x60mm wheel setup work for skating around town, or would it not be fun at all?

Hey guys. Question. What is the best skate for BIG WIDE FEET????

What are the boots(black/grey) over YOUR right shoulder? 😍

Hi I want to buy a roces or bauer in line .. I'm 9.5 in us what is the real size in this roller blades ?

I’m size 10uk and was advised by store to get size 11uk. After some use and weeding in the shoe, it now feels like size 12uk. 😒 my feet are floating inside the boot.

Well that kinda makes it harder for me to choose size xD.. my shoe size is a EU 42½. So right between where the shell jumps in size

The combining of liners sounds good if you have small feet but for me i wear size 15 size (49eu) with already extremely limited selection. Only brand i can get is roces and whatever valos i can find floating around. Having to squeeze into a multi size liner and an already slightly small skate skate does not sound fun. I pray roces never stops making size 15 liners.

also not to forget the PS built actual marketing on the dual-size liners, with the strechable toe ;)

But my heels lift up while striding but if i take a size smaller it doesn't fir what do i do? I've tried tightening the boot as much as it gets but it still lifts. I also tried wearing double socks but didn't help. Any tips would help alot!

Mindblown...finally some clarity, haha

I’m having a problem deciding if I should size up on my next skate. I’m right at the end of a dual size with my aeons and I get pins and needles . I’m trying now to lace them differently as maybe it’s the tongue but I’d like a micro tri skate and it seems I should get the 39-40 again.. how can I be sure ?

Hi: I had a pair of Roces 1992 size 10 and they are too tight even with second skin liners. Which size should I buy?

I’m looking for size 15 urban inline skates. Please send a link!

This is why we need Salomon back, they had all the sizes. Tbh we should just discard the 43 44 45 sizing and use true mm instead.

If I am buying a powerslide next 110 and my shoe size is US 11-11.15 which one would fit best.

Please explain the ideal FR skater for extra wide footed male for recreational/ fitness skating. Also need to know if I can buy them in Germany.Thank you.

I've got 2 pairs of roces m12's because they fit perfectly without any problems! I am a size 9/10UK shoe and bought the size 11 m12's . I couldn't recommend buying a larger size enough! I wonder, could you tell me which size 5th element will fit me please?

Hi, my foot is 260mm(41 EU).which size do you recommend for fifth element??

Please advice the industrie to make some molds for 47-48 boots as well with their current boots. Can´t ride the Aeons, Sway, the Them909, the 5th Element. rather frustrating to me.

hello TIS friends.very goid vid.it would be cool to show the difference on all m12 sheells .like to see the difference between the shells on size us9 and us10 .my barefeet are 26.8cm i wear size us9.5 shoes.i dont know if get m12 on size 9 or 10 i dont want the shell to be too big.last skate i had was THEM 909 M the liner was perfect the shell was way too roomy like 2 or 3 cm longer.thanks

I have power slide swell lite 100’s the double sizing sucks 38-39 too big and I got the 36-37 and had to struggle with the fit being too tight

How is roces compared to rollerblade in size? I want to order some roces but I don’t know how is the difference

That song is amazing

Can you contact USD and convince them to produce the Aeon Takeshi in size 13/47 please?

Is that a standard sizing for all inline skates????

Good to know, thanks man.

i bought some skates 5 years ago that were from size 36-40 and then three years later my foot size was 40....im an 13 year old girl with size 41.5 size shoe .... i dont know what size to buy :(

i bought powerslide next 90 size 38-39 6-7 but my toes hurt liner small im size 7 if buy a 40-41 7-7.5 well it fit in the shell?!?

wtf is with that song in the back ground?? I know it from elementary school, I haven't heard it in like 13 years

Ok, I usually wear 39/40 with shoes. My feet are 25 cm long and on some size chart I saw for the M12 25 cm is for the 42 🤔 I have already bought skates that were too big in the past and I don't want to do this mistake again. Should I go for 40 shell or 41/42? 😭

it`s simply a matter of money - each mould costs thousands of euros/dollars. The M12 sucks if you`re a (rather wide) Euro 40, like me. The 39-40 is WAY to small, the 41-42 is WAY to long especially.

Hi there. I want to know , why this girl want to buy roces size 41 ? she look small and she must be have small foots. normally I use freeskates size 38. I planning to buy USD aeon. what size I should take ? 37-38 or 39-40 ?

Thank you so much

But should I buy a 42 or 43. I'm right now pn usd carbon 3 size 42

Wow Thanks !

Meron po ba kayo size 40

now let them put real shell length and width in cm

Ano po lugar yan kuya

So it is YOUR FAULT that the Powerslide next model I want to have does not fit ._. xD they leave out a whole range of foot sizes now lol. There is no skate for 275-282mm for example o.O

Locoskates have a disclaimer to state the they know the uk-eu size lioks wrong. Its not powerslide like to yse unauthodox sizing😂😂. My feet are wide and my arch doesnt really arch so combined sizing is a big help and definitely stops the fals advertising 🏆

Companies need to wake up. sizes need to be more varied. Hence 40 and 41 should be closer, 42 and 43, and so on... 3:02. I hate that I have wear bigger skates than I should. Some skates are basically covering 8-9.5 with one size... like the Aeons... they have just 8/9 and 10/10.5... my feet will basically start to lose circulation in the 8/9 but feel like im sliding around in 10/10.5

Anyway new skates always hurts. And it hurts further and longer if you have wide foot

You've gotten incredible thing right.

Makakabili po ng roller blade

that lillte kid was a 41 42

WTH? Is Moses a boy or a girl? If he's a boy someone should introduce him to a great concept called a scissors! He needs a damn haircut!
