Sizing Instructions:

Remove bolts and laces from boots.

With skater sitting, place boot on carpet and foot into boot (foot will naturally go to the front of the boot).

Have skater "kick" heel well into the rear (heel) of boot on the carpet. Repeat.

Now with heel in the back of the boot and tongue flipped forward (open), check for toe room.

Have skater bend their knee forward and place your finger down the back of the heel to see how much more room is left for the foot to move into (remember, when heat mould is activated, the foot will move even further into the heel).

If the size seems okay, now check for width. Is there discomfort because the skater has a very wide foot? Do the laces meet when done up because the skater has a narrow foot?

Lace boots, paying particular attention to the ankle area. When "room for growth" is wanted, it is sometimes overlooked that the bigger the boots, the wider they become. Ankle support is crucial to safety and performance. With incorrect fitting boots too small can lead to ingrown toe nails; too big can lead to no directional skating, rubbing, discomfort, and blisters. Take note of the top eyelets. If the skater has very narrow ankles, the laces may meet. This is not desirable and shows the boot is too big or that the skater has thin ankles for their foot size and is not a stock size.
