Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Do inline skates fit true to size?
Yes, most inline skates match your regular UK shoe size. Unless a specific brand advises otherwise, choose the size you normally wear.

How should inline skates fit?
They should feel snug but not tight. Your toes can lightly touch the front, and your heel should stay firmly in place when skating; this is particularly important for aggressive inline skates.

How do I measure my feet for inline skates?
Stand on a piece of paper with your heel against a wall. Mark your longest toe, measure the length, and compare it to the size chart.

What if I have wide feet?
Add 5–10 mm to your foot length when using the chart, and consider skates made for wider fits or those with heat-moldable liners.

Should I size up or down if I'm between sizes?
It's best to round up for comfort, especially if you'll wear thicker socks or plan long sessions on skates.

Happy skating, and may your new skates feel just right from day one!
