Skate Shoes Size Guide
How To Find The Right Size
1. Measure Your Feet
-
Stand on a piece of paper wearing your skate socks.
-
Trace around your foot, then measure:
-
Length: Heel to longest toe (in cm)
-
Width: Widest part of the foot
-
-
Always measure both feet — use the bigger measurement if they’re different!
🔎 Tip: Use the CM (Mondopoint) size chart for the most accurate fit.
2. Know Your True Size
-
Skate shoes usually fit close to your regular street shoe size.
-
Some brands (like Vans) fit snugger; others (like Nike SB) fit slightly wider.
-
If you’re between sizes, most skaters size down a half-size for a tighter, more controlled fit once they break in.
3. How Should Skate Shoes Fit?
✅ Snug but not crushing — toes should lightly brush the front
✅ No major heel lift when walking or flicking
✅ Foot held securely for maximum board feel and control
✅ Minimal extra space to avoid slipping inside the shoe
🔎 Remember: Skate shoes break in and soften slightly after a few sessions.
Quick Fit Checklist
-
Toes touching lightly, not jammed
-
Heel locked in without sliding
-
Midfoot secure but comfortable
-
Flex feels natural, not stiff or pinching
