I Finally found a review of the Luna skates. It’s nice to see a video on skates other than moxi. I still love moxi skates just want more options than impala.
I thought the same when I saw him just go for it 😅 but he’s a dancer so that probably helped. Also I broke my ankle in the meantime (trying to carve on a ramp) and haven’t skated for 6 months, build your confidence for sure but also never rush and take care with every movement is my advice 🙌🏼
So glad to find this video, as I‘m going back and forth between Moxi and Luna, but leaning more towards Luna. Your video helps a lot with my final decision on which one to get. 😊
thanks for the luna review! i've been concerned about the fit, i wear size 7 street shoes and ive currently been skating suregrip boardwalks in size 5 for 3 yrs and was always a little bothered by the slight tightness, but never had too much issue with it after breaking them in. i heard lunas run big, so I may get their 5s too
hey, I'm a figure skater but recently I fell in love with roller skating too and I wanted to say that when your toes can't reach the front, it's probably too big. It's normal to be able to move your heal a tiny bit, as long as the rest of your foot is still touching the boot tightly. Like you said, your toes shouldnt be crushed at the end, but it's normal and even better if your feet fit perfectly in the shoe so that they will touch but when you move forward, it won't hurt your toes.
Thank you for this helpful advice!! ❤️ Yes it’s counterintuitive for most people when we’re just used to normal shoes and have been taught that room is needed in the front...
@@Jana-mk4hm haha yes true. First time i bought skates I was scared my toes would hurt, but the skate was so supportive that everything stayed right where it was
Thanks for the review! I am looking into getting the Beach Bunny skates. I am still a beginner that has really been struggling to progress. And I think having the extra space between the trucks will help me.
The german site for the Lunaskates, Rollenwelt, has a bit messed up sizing chart. When the Lunaskates came out last december (in germany at least they launched by then) the size chart pointed me to a EU size 40. My feet are 24.6cm long and usually a 38.5/39, depending on how the shoes fit. I send them back for a 39 and they have inner measures of 25.3cm, so they would be more my fit. Still would like them to fit a bit more snug, but a 38 has inner measurements of 24.5cm which might be too small. But sizing is always tricky for me, so I always go first by measures in centimeters and then in sizes and hope for the best. The Lunaskates took a bit of breaking in for me, they felt pretty stiff for a while but now are really comfortable and I really love the plate. The moxi Lollys are way more flexible, but I like both of them. Still saving up to get myself a jackboot with a high end plate. Also: loved the wheels on the Lunaskates. They were really great and I gave them to my nephew who is now going at it in my old and way too big chaya skates until next year,when I will buy him some new skates for himself.
I also have the Luna skates and I discovered a pain in the balls of my right foot. To be exact: the bone of my big toe. I figured it might be because they fit fairly tight and they aren’t wide enough for my feet? Although I think they are the right size for me. Did you have any issues with this kind of pain?
I have 24.5 cm really narrow feet, I usually wear 38.5 as well. I understand your pain. I have to search FOR HOURS before buying a shoe online. I have no idea if I should buy a 38 or a 39. Idk if a 39 will be snug enough
@@notmeeeeeee5884 you can always exhange the skates for another size! If you're from europe you should order from rollenwelt and they will let you exhange them without shipping costs. My foot is 25,5 and the size chart recomends size 41 for me. But I went with size 40 and the insole is 25,8. I haven't gotten them yeat but I'm hoping they'll fit 🤞
@@joannaeloranta154 From what I've read you'll be fine. I've done my research and poeple say to go a full size down from your original size. Sadly shopping from rollenwelt is like 60€
Hi Jana, That was super helpful. Thank you. I'm just in the process of buying some Skates and came across Luna, and they look fabulous, but they only do my size in Black! Which for a roller skate is a bit boring! I had my heart on a more fun or prettier colour - like a lovely green :) But I guess Black will always be stylish and hide the dirt...
Hi Jo, yes rollerskates are still scarce at the moment... but at least you can add colour with some wheels :) a friend has black skates and radar energy wheels in the most amazing green, they look really good!
Hey! Really great review! 👍 Thank you! :))) I had right the same problem with the Beach Bunny sizing - the pair I got was way too large even though all the sellers and the official Moxi's size chart recommended me to go for the size I've eventually bought (US 6, EU 38). But their insole was 25cm long when all of my regular shoes and boots are 24 (and still feel rather roomy!) So, yeh. Skates sizing on the most of websites sucks! I thought about buying myself some Luna Skates but for some reason they don't produce skates for my size... 🤷♀️
Hi, I really like your videos! Me too, I ordered the Lunas a few weeks ago, I ordered a German 38 which is my regular shoe size. And they fit really ok. I think in the front a 37 would be better but the boot is pretty tight on the sides and on the "pressure points" you mentioned (it is really uncomfortable in the beginning!) so I sticked to the 38. I found the size recommandations while ordering also confusing, expecting my regular size being too small. But in fact it fits or is even a tiny bit too large.
Completely agree, it's really confusing and hard to decide when you can't try them on in person... if I were to order again I would go one size down as well, but with the gel insole it's not too bad. Really glad you like the videos!
I got the cheapest rollerskates I could find a while ago and am now regretting that decision now that I'm skating more often. Especially the fact that the skates I currently own don't have an adjustable toestop and the one that comes on the skate is way to short so I can't use them. So I've been thinking of getting new skates with an adjustable toe stop and have been contemplating if I'd rather get the Luna Skates or the Beach Bunnies as they are similar in price, so this video was very helpful. Still not quite sure which one I will go for 😂 But I do have a better understanding of the differences between the two.
I decided to choose Luna skates but the problem that I've been thinking about is the sizing What size do you recommend for wide feet? I'm 7-7.5 in the US sizing and still 16 years old. Do you recommend sizing up or just the right size?
You‘ve probably gotten skates in the meantime, but if you have wide feet you can heat-mold the Lunas to your feet. NEVER size up to get width, because you WILL throw off your balance.
@@sweetasbloodredjam I actually didn't purchase skates because I'm so busy at school, and it might grow out for me if I buy one. But I hope it will, still thank you for this tip
Hi Philip, I couldn’t say to be honest... I use the moxis with harder wheels (Fundaes which are 92 A) for the skatepark and the Lunas with soft wheels (Radar 78 A) for flat ground skating. But of course the wheels can be interchanged... and the boot, well, maybe the Luna wins marginally in that category :) I hope to make an update vid soon.
I have the Pink Luna skates and I love them even though the boot is coming off of the heel a bit. Since the skates where one size too large anyway I realised that one contra point for luna skates is the limitied options of smaller sizes in different colours. They just released a new collection in beautiful colours wich is now available in other countries as well but sadly only the Pink ones are available in size 37 and those have a bit of a different quality. All of the other models are only size 38 and up.
thanks for your review!! im from canada and my store here has stock of both these types. i wanted to go with lollys but of course worldwide shortage.. i ended up going with luna mint flash and now waiting for them to come in =) cant wait ! yay
Hey! Just came across this video and your other one today as I was researching the Luna skates. I am actually about to order a pair, but completely confused by the sizing of them. When looking at rollerwelt.de, they seem to suggest to order a size or two bigger than the measurement of your feet, but when watching your videos you seem to suggest to go a size or two down.. Do you have any more info on that? Like how does your foot's measurement relate to the size you picked? (as in, measuring from heel to toe and the corresponding size?) Maybe a bit of a big question, but I'm certain this could be incredibly helpful for more people like me that have come across this skate and are having a hard time finding some more reviews/clarification on these skates and their sizing. :) Thanks for the videos by the way! They have convinced me that the Luna skates are pretty awesome!
ok, my shoe size is 38, my foot length is 24 cm, rollenwelt.de recommends for Lunas size 39. Imo they are wrong, I ordered them in 38 and still have room in the front
Laura Kölsch ah gosh!! I get what you mean, the size chart makes it all the more confusing and seems to suggest ordering a size or even two up.. very strange 😕
Hi Munnimun, I also ordered the skates on the same site and measured my foot, which was exactly 24,2 cm from heel to toe. So the recommendation in the sizing chart was a size 39. But I agree with Laura that the chart isn't the best reference, and that a size 38 would have fit better also for me! So I would NOT recommend going one or two sizes up, but rather a size down. As I found out with the Moxis, it's okay for rollerskates to feel more cramped than normal shoes and to have less room in the front than you are used to. I have the Moxis in a size 6 now which corresponds to a German 37-38, so they are really tight but I prefer their fit. This is subjective opinion, but yes I would go a size smaller. Hope this helps! :)
@@Jana-mk4hm Ah thanks so much for getting back to me on this! It's really useful to hear experiences on this from multiple people since the chart makes it all the more confusing. Really helpful! I've also reached out to Luna Skates on instagram to see if they have any clearer instructions on this just to be entirely sure - they said they'd get back to me, but we'll see about that haha. Thanks again!
I just received my Luna Skates a few days ago & I adjusted my trucks and wheels but I noticed that the nut on the wheel was quite large & the axel didn’t stick out at all, it was quite flush with the nut, even when tightened. I loosened my wheel just a tiny bit and one of my wheels ended up flying off. I was wondering if you (or anyone else in the comments) experienced the same thing with the Luna skates? If so, any advice to fix that problem?
Hi Jana!!! Great review! I have a question about the sizing! My feet are 25.0 and the 39 in luna is 25.2. My old skates are the impala at 39 and they are 25.0 at their size chart. They fit fine! So, do you believe that It woul be ok the size 39 at Luna? If Someone else knows I would be grateful!
I haven’t used them for the skate park, the Luna boot is softer so I would probably feel a bit less safe, but then again there are skate park Moxis that have a softer boot... so I guess if you use the right wheels (harder ones) why not give it a try...
Hello! I need your advice. My foot length is 24.5cm, usually wear EU39. However my left foot is slightly wider. So if I were to buy shoes with a stiffer material, I would use eu40. However, most of the time, I’m using EU39. Which Luna skate size should I get? The sizing chart is really confusing :(
Thank you for such a great and thorough review. I'd be happy to hear more how it went, now months later. P.s. I think I might be in the background from the tempelhof-clip. I live in berlin too:)
Hi Pamela, it’s all about the wheels, the softer the easier it is to go over bumps etc. I have changed the wheels on both my skates and currently use 78 a radar wheels for skating on flat ground, can definitely recommend them. I think the wheels that come with the moxi beach bunnies are fine too
It’s great to see a review made by a European. I was looking for a pair of skates but didn’t know about the Lunas and between all the brands I knew, the Moxis were the best for my price range. I tried ordering them directly from their website but the shipping was over 90$ which is like the price of the Impalas 😱 So I tried to look for them on local websites and they were 50€ more, and that’s where I first saw the Luna skates, that were 10€ less so, if I’m going to pay that much money for them anyway, I might go with the Lunas
I have the same as you (24,5 cm) and not super narrow feet but relatively narrow... I got the Lunas in size 39 with Scholl sports insoles and they are a little bit roomier than my moxies. If I was getting them again, I would probably try a 38! Hope this helps
@@Jana-mk4hm hi! When ordering your Luna skates, after knowing your foot length, did you follow the dimension inside the boot or the “suitable for foot” sizing on the chart?
Hi Alyssa, I can still recommend them without any hesitation! I haven’t skated in a while because I broke my ankle carving on a ramp 😔 (in the moxis, but the skates had nothing to do with it anyway). Hope to get round to making another video soon, but to answer your question yes go for them 👍🏼
I wear eu 38 in shoes and ordered my Lunas in a 38, they fit perfectly. I do have fairly narrow feet but don't need to buy narrow fit shoes if you see what I mean? Really comfortable skates, glad I got them!
I just ordered these awhile ago and expect them to be here by the end of this week! I ordered an 8.5 because that’s my usual size for Vans shoes so hopefully they fit fine 😱😱😱
Exciting!! Hope they’re a good fit, fingers crossed 🤞🏼 I vaguely remember someone talking about vans compared to moxi sizing in another video somewhere, but I don’t have any vans, so not sure 🤷🏽♀️
I think they weigh pretty much the same, but the Lunas have a slightly lighter feel because the material of the Boot is a bit less sturdy and softer...
Hi! Thanks for the useful review! Last week I also bought Luna skates. I love almost everything about them but… they’re also a bit too big for me. Despite the measurements I took before buying the skates, I was convinced my foot is longer than it actually is (also based on the measurements of my other skates), so I bought size 40, thinking it will be only 3mm longer than my foot. Now I realize they’re about 8mm too large, partially also because the skate is larger than it claims to be - the insole is 260mm long, instead of 258mm. So I’m wondering - is the insole of size 39 really 252mm or is it also a bit larger? Because then I could consider buying size 39.
@@fantastiv I kept the skates, even though they are still a bit too big. Buying another size and trying to sell this pair seemed too much of a hassle (at least in the country where I live). I did put in a thicker and more supportive insole, as well as a foam insert to fill out the toe box. I can skate in them but either way they are not my go to skates for other reasons as well - I'm used to Chaya Karma's which are a completely different skate in terms of ankle support and heel height. I still believe that size 39 would have been a better fit for me because I'm also used to skates that are very snug, and I'll try to keep that in mind the next time I decide to treat myself to a new pair of skates :D
My foot meassures 247 mm, so I decided to get a size 39 and I think it’s the correct one for me. Feels roomier in the toebox. My first skates were Chaya Ellites size 38 and now that I got my pair of Lunas, I realize there were a size too small … I see it so clearly that I decided to sell them. This are a better fit for me!
Ich hab auch BeachBunnys und hab mir nun Luna Skates bestellt in Gr. 39 /Moxi Bunnys hab ich in 7 und sie könnten ein bisschen kleiner sein, glaub ich jedenfalls, weil ich noch Jelly Einlagen reingemacht habe. Ich hoffe mir passen die Lunas sonst muss ich sie retournieren und in 40 bestellen, aber dann nehme ich schwarz.
Hi Tanja, mein Account auf ig ist im Moment auch eher tot - habe mir vor Monaten beim skaten das wadenbein gebrochen 😬🦴 aber ich verlinke den Account demnächst nochmal unterm Video. Ich habe ja die size 6 Beach bunnies und finde sie könnten ein klein bisschen größer sein... genau zwischen den beiden Größen wäre am besten für 39... 🤷🏽♀️
@@Jana-mk4hm Ich hab Dich bei Insta doch noch gefunden und gesehen, dass Du einen Unfall hattest. Fängst Du wieder an zu skaten, wenn alles wieder in Ordnung ist? Ich hab eine Frage dazu: Ich hab mir die weissen Lunas bestellt, sind heute angekommen. Die zwei Skates sind nun sehr verschieden, in allem eigentlich. Ich bin etwas verunsichert, weil sie nicht nach Leder riechen und ausschauen, irgendwie billiger als die BeachBunnies insgesamt und was mich aber wirklich stört ist die Zunge. Die ist so ungemütlich und drückt beim anziehen der Senkel, also die Seiten von der Zunge, sehr unangenehm in den Fussrücken. Geht das weg ? wird das weicher mit der Zeit? Ja, sie sind viel leichter und der Achsabstand ist nicht soooo ewig lang. Das ist ein grosser Vorteil beim Tanzen. Aber sie sind so ungemütlich iwie. Hattest Du nicht das Gefühl, geht das weg?
I have those Blue and Pink , Beach Bunny Rollerskates But i Dont Know How To Use Them.. im still Learning😥 ( P.S the beach bunnies are cuter in person😍 )
Die Lunas kosten jetzt auch 195 € 😂 Aber ich denke dadurch dass es Leder ist, ist dieser Preis gerechtfertigt. Habe die vor fast einem Monat gekauft und bin sehr glücklich damit 💜🤍🖤
Hi, my feet us 243 mm long... do you think i need size 6 or 7, cause according yo moci chart i should get size 7... but i hear from a lot people that the size it too big.
Hi Reut sorry for the late reply, I think my feet are 24,2 and I have a size 6, size 7 was too big for me too! The size 6 are definitely a tight fit but I think they would still work for you too...
Skate sizing is so annoying. And a lot of people dont know that skates aren't supposed to fit like sneakers, they're supposed to be snugger, almost like a sock.
I Finally found a review of the Luna skates. It’s nice to see a video on skates other than moxi. I still love moxi skates just want more options than impala.
The clip of your partner was awesome, I gotta get that confidence on my skates.

I haven’t skated in a while cos I broke my ankle skating about six months ago! But I heard they hold up well... sorry I can’t be more help 😑
Can I also use the luna skates for the skate park? Because I would like to do street skating, also dance skating and go to the skate park
I haven’t used them for the skate park, the Luna boot is softer so I would probably feel a bit less safe, but then again there are skate park Moxis that have a softer boot... so I guess if you use the right wheels (harder ones) why not give it a try...
@@Jana-mk4hm thank you very much:)
Hello! I need your advice.
My foot length is 24.5cm, usually wear EU39. However my left foot is slightly wider. So if I were to buy shoes with a stiffer material, I would use eu40. However, most of the time, I’m using EU39.
Which Luna skate size should I get? The sizing chart is really confusing :(
Ist die schwarze platte an den luna schuhen Kunststoff oder metall?
Aus Metall
Thank you for such a great and thorough review. I'd be happy to hear more how it went, now months later. P.s. I think I might be in the background from the tempelhof-clip. I live in berlin too:)
Do Uk ship to the USA?
Thank for this!! Which skate feels better going over bumps or sidewalk gashes?
Hi Pamela, it’s all about the wheels, the softer the easier it is to go over bumps etc. I have changed the wheels on both my skates and currently use 78 a radar wheels for skating on flat ground, can definitely recommend them. I think the wheels that come with the moxi beach bunnies are fine too
@@Jana-mk4hm Thank you! I was trying not to replace wheels, since most are sold out. I'm lucky to be getting skates finally ha ha!
Yes this worldwide skate shortage situation is pretty crazy 😅
It’s great to see a review made by a European. I was looking for a pair of skates but didn’t know about the Lunas and between all the brands I knew, the Moxis were the best for my price range. I tried ordering them directly from their website but the shipping was over 90$ which is like the price of the Impalas 😱 So I tried to look for them on local websites and they were 50€ more, and that’s where I first saw the Luna skates, that were 10€ less so, if I’m going to pay that much money for them anyway, I might go with the Lunas
Thank you for the perfect review.
I wear a half size 38.5 (24.5 cm really REALLY narrow feet). Do you recommend I should be getting a 38 or a 39?
I have the same as you (24,5 cm) and not super narrow feet but relatively narrow... I got the Lunas in size 39 with Scholl sports insoles and they are a little bit roomier than my moxies. If I was getting them again, I would probably try a 38! Hope this helps
@@Jana-mk4hm Thank you soooo much. I'll get a 38.
I'll be waiting for your next videos
@@Jana-mk4hm hi! When ordering your Luna skates, after knowing your foot length, did you follow the dimension inside the boot or the “suitable for foot” sizing on the chart?
Hi Jana! It has been 5 months ago since you posted this video. I am thinking of buying the Luna skates, how are they doing now? Still good?
Hi Alyssa, I can still recommend them without any hesitation! I haven’t skated in a while because I broke my ankle carving on a ramp 😔 (in the moxis, but the skates had nothing to do with it anyway). Hope to get round to making another video soon, but to answer your question yes go for them 👍🏼
I am normally a size 38eu with shoes. But should i size up bc I’ve heard that they are pretty narrow
I wear eu 38 in shoes and ordered my Lunas in a 38, they fit perfectly. I do have fairly narrow feet but don't need to buy narrow fit shoes if you see what I mean? Really comfortable skates, glad I got them!
@@Ellie-ww2vn Hi! Can you write your cm? So I can see I need the 38 too! I am 250cm.
amazing English for a german native speaker:)
I just ordered these awhile ago and expect them to be here by the end of this week! I ordered an 8.5 because that’s my usual size for Vans shoes so hopefully they fit fine 😱😱😱
Exciting!! Hope they’re a good fit, fingers crossed 🤞🏼 I vaguely remember someone talking about vans compared to moxi sizing in another video somewhere, but I don’t have any vans, so not sure 🤷🏽♀️
did you find that one of them felt lighter than the other, or did they both seem to be about the same weight?
I think they weigh pretty much the same, but the Lunas have a slightly lighter feel because the material of the Boot is a bit less sturdy and softer...
@@Jana-mk4hm thank you!!
Hi! Thanks for the useful review! Last week I also bought Luna skates. I love almost everything about them but… they’re also a bit too big for me. Despite the measurements I took before buying the skates, I was convinced my foot is longer than it actually is (also based on the measurements of my other skates), so I bought size 40, thinking it will be only 3mm longer than my foot. Now I realize they’re about 8mm too large, partially also because the skate is larger than it claims to be - the insole is 260mm long, instead of 258mm. So I’m wondering - is the insole of size 39 really 252mm or is it also a bit larger? Because then I could consider buying size 39.
Wow I'm in the same boat ! What did you do at the end ? I'm debating between a size 39 (my usual size) or 38. My insoles usually are 250-254mm long.
@@Pingoinnn Hey, what did you end up doing? :)
What did you end up choosing? Is the size 39 aswell 2 mm larger? :)
@@fantastiv I kept the skates, even though they are still a bit too big. Buying another size and trying to sell this pair seemed too much of a hassle (at least in the country where I live).
I did put in a thicker and more supportive insole, as well as a foam insert to fill out the toe box. I can skate in them but either way they are not my go to skates for other reasons as well - I'm used to Chaya Karma's which are a completely different skate in terms of ankle support and heel height. I still believe that size 39 would have been a better fit for me because I'm also used to skates that are very snug, and I'll try to keep that in mind the next time I decide to treat myself to a new pair of skates :D
My foot meassures 247 mm, so I decided to get a size 39 and I think it’s the correct one for me. Feels roomier in the toebox. My first skates were Chaya Ellites size 38 and now that I got my pair of Lunas, I realize there were a size too small … I see it so clearly that I decided to sell them. This are a better fit for me!
You are a size 8 in womens and I'm a size 7 in us womens , the moxi size 6 skate barely fits, it does but its extremely tight. Odd 🤔
Ich hab auch BeachBunnys und hab mir nun Luna Skates bestellt in Gr. 39 /Moxi Bunnys hab ich in 7 und sie könnten ein bisschen kleiner sein, glaub ich jedenfalls, weil ich noch Jelly Einlagen reingemacht habe. Ich hoffe mir passen die Lunas sonst muss ich sie retournieren und in 40 bestellen, aber dann nehme ich schwarz.
Hi Tanja, mein Account auf ig ist im Moment auch eher tot - habe mir vor Monaten beim skaten das wadenbein gebrochen 😬🦴 aber ich verlinke den Account demnächst nochmal unterm Video. Ich habe ja die size 6 Beach bunnies und finde sie könnten ein klein bisschen größer sein... genau zwischen den beiden Größen wäre am besten für 39... 🤷🏽♀️
@@Jana-mk4hm Ich hab Dich bei Insta doch noch gefunden und gesehen, dass Du einen Unfall hattest. Fängst Du wieder an zu skaten, wenn alles wieder in Ordnung ist? Ich hab eine Frage dazu: Ich hab mir die weissen Lunas bestellt, sind heute angekommen. Die zwei Skates sind nun sehr verschieden, in allem eigentlich. Ich bin etwas verunsichert, weil sie nicht nach Leder riechen und ausschauen, irgendwie billiger als die BeachBunnies insgesamt und was mich aber wirklich stört ist die Zunge. Die ist so ungemütlich und drückt beim anziehen der Senkel, also die Seiten von der Zunge, sehr unangenehm in den Fussrücken. Geht das weg ? wird das weicher mit der Zeit? Ja, sie sind viel leichter und der Achsabstand ist nicht soooo ewig lang. Das ist ein grosser Vorteil beim Tanzen. Aber sie sind so ungemütlich iwie. Hattest Du nicht das Gefühl, geht das weg?
I have those Blue and Pink , Beach Bunny Rollerskates But i Dont Know How To Use Them.. im still Learning😥 ( P.S the beach bunnies are cuter in person😍 )
Die Lunas kosten jetzt auch 195 € 😂 Aber ich denke dadurch dass es Leder ist, ist dieser Preis gerechtfertigt.
Habe die vor fast einem Monat gekauft und bin sehr glücklich damit 💜🤍🖤
Hi, wo hast Du die Lunas bestellt? Ich finde leider keinen Shop. 🙈

Does Moxie ship to Europe?
I ordered my moxies on a German website, not sure about shipping from the US if you order straight from the American website...
Thanks tho
Check with uk shops. They have them
Hi, my feet us 243 mm long... do you think i need size 6 or 7, cause according yo moci chart i should get size 7... but i hear from a lot people that the size it too big.
Hi Reut sorry for the late reply, I think my feet are 24,2 and I have a size 6, size 7 was too big for me too! The size 6 are definitely a tight fit but I think they would still work for you too...
A size 39 fits a guy size 41 ... damn I'm the only guy that feet don't shrink in tight shoes.
Skate sizing is so annoying. And a lot of people dont know that skates aren't supposed to fit like sneakers, they're supposed to be snugger, almost like a sock.
