How to Choose the Correct Figure skates Size

The boot is the most important part of the skater’s equipment.

At Edea we’ve created boots that are highly technical tools and to work properly they need to be correctly fitted.

The right size means better performance and more comfort.

To ensure the right size shoes Edea indicates the size of its boots in millimeters.

To get the right size it is important to measure the foot correctly.

You need to get the length of the foot in millimeters and then compare with the length of the boot.

Measure the foot wearing the socks you use for skating. These socks should be thin in a microfiber or another smooth absorbent material to reduce friction in the shoe and ensure maximum sensitivity.

The Foot can be measured in one of the following ways:

-Using a sponge mould

-Using the Edea measuring device

-Drawing Around The Feet

Whatever method you choose to measure you should always try the boot on.

Normally the boot is tried unlaced to double check the measurement.

You should stretch your toes and push your foot forward until it touches the front. That way you can see how much empty space there is in the back of the boot. Again this should be no more than 5mm for an adult foot and 10mm (one finger) for a child whose feet are still growing.After the measurements have been checked you need to lace the boots to check for comfort.

First the heel must be pushed into the heel pocket so it is sitting securely. Once this is done you should lace the boot.

The boot should be worn long enough to allow the padding to form around your foot and you enjoy the comfort.

If you feel any pressure at this point you can adjust the outer shell using instant custom fit to give you the perfect pair of skates.
