also this video is so important bc when i spend $300-$500 on something i want it to fit like a glove. I dont wanna wear fuzzy socks.
You wear the socks so your foot doesn't hurt from rubbing
@@iwanttosob5617 exactly
but the thing is most skates have no half size...:(
@@rouman330 you can go up to the next number or go down
" IM WEARING SHOORRTSSSS!"
Please make a chart with inches or centimetres for the length of the foot for each size. Depending on the brand, I need a different size. So, it's hard for me to say what size I am. Also, what do you do if you have a full size difference with your feet?
Pigeon says she is making a chart tomorrow! I'll make sure she actually does it :P
Thank you! I intend to buy new Moxi skates right before summer.
Yess please!! I have no chance to go to a store so buying online is my only option and I’m scared AF 😂
Victoria Milian girl same!
@@victoriamilian1622 me too!!! 😂
I'm a figure skater and I skated in Jackson's and didn't get them fitted they where so painful and I got horrible blisters even when the skates where dead I went to get my next skates fitted and the jacksons where a size and a half too big and where wrong shape for my foot so I got risport and could land all my singles jumps after that. I just never realized how important it was before that point
Me too! Same size difference. I had jacksons and now I have the risport rf3 the bottom of my foot would kill me in the jacksons
I have Jackson’s they fit me really well
Yes! Figure skates need to be exact or you get issues with balance points on the blade. I imagine it's the same for roller skates...? For example, I think the beach bunny is a Riedell boot, correct (are all moxie skates Riedell?) ? I've got GAM and Edea boots. So I'm thinking just finding the equivalent for a Riedell would be sufficient to find correct sizing? To everyone with Jackson's, what do you find is helpful in finding the right size sans trying it on physically?
Are you commuting to rainbow riders?
If you are commuting to rainbow riders they run smaller then jacksons.
I just got mine they were 2 sizes to small. I wish someone would've told me that.
The insole trick is amazing. I got a pair of candigirl skates, the size 10 was too big and size 9 was too small. Bought size 10 and added and insole.
Any specific insole? New to rollerskating
I had the same (with a Tempish skate) and I just use a cheap sports style insole. As long as it fits the shoe. Mine has held up well.
I wear a woman's 9 and a half a 9 my toe is right at the top. Skates only came in whole sizes so I got a men's 9 and they are too big. I worry the smaller size will cramp my toes at the top .I just ordered some insoles I'm hoping that works
I'm a 8.5 and I just got candi girl in size 9 but I don't know if they fit 😭😭
I wear a 10 In women so I need to order a 9 in skates ?
you ladies rock!!!
*This is spot on,
2 years later my Lollys still fit great, stretched just as described.
Shannon Oconnell actually??? Hewww good news
Great news :)
Question, i just got a pair of moxi panther, size 7. My foot is size 7.5 us, size is 9 3/4 inches. Now, the shoe is perfect on my Left and Right length wise. However, the right pinky really hurt. Would it stretch out wide enough for it not to hurt? How big do they actually stretch out? I feel if I go to size 8 they may be too big in front. Can you tell me?
@@racharina you can carefullly try this trick (my mom taught me with new moccasins) Spray lightly with water mist, wear until dry. Only mist a little water, as it will cause that area to stretch (DO NOT spray entire boot :) *They will dry in the area you spray a little stretched out. Only works on leather, but I really hope it helps. *I have new boots and one side hurts, so I did that trick a few times and they are starting to feel better. They are the 336 riedell boot, a bit thicker than my lollies. Hope this helps, happy skating
@@racharina I use a spray bottle on fine spray :)
Really helpful! As a kid- early teen i wore a size 8-9 and i was always a little self conscious about it. Then eventually i started really shopping for myself (as you do when you grow up) and I’m really a size 7-7.5! Crazy difference
I'm a size 7 in women's shoes and got the size 5 lolly's and they fit me perfectly!! hoping this helps someone :)
Thank you so much!! I was actually going to buy some tomorrow and remembered I always go back 1 - 2 times to get smaller sizes when ice skating. I saw somewhere to use vans sizing, but it wouldn't apply because after breaking them in there's room. I'll probably get a size 5 then 🥰
@@VictoriaTheLoveless i'm so glad it helped! i was doing SO much research and was hearing that some people with a size 7.5 were getting the 6's and i was so conflicted if i should go with the 6's or 5's. i found a pair on FB marketplace that were 5's and i tried em on and they couldn't be better :)
Hope mine are okay. I wear a 7-7.5 and I ordered a 6 Lolly. I’ll wear thicker socks if I need to. Haven’t got them yet.
I wonder if it works with candi girl skates too. I am also a size 7 but ordered them in a size 6. They come monday and I am hoping the fit
@@VictoriaTheLoveless same for me. I am a size 7 and got fitted for a size 5 in figure skates
Best advice: don’t even think about checking size before you fully lace the skate! I didn’t want to “wreck” the skate in case I had to return it so I was afraid to lace. My toes crunched at the top because the laces are what hold the foot to the back of the boot. As soon as I laced, they fit perfectly. Shoe size 7.5wide and I’m a 6 in the Moxi Lolly.
I got my first pair of moxis today and they fit amazing but I was so sad cus the box was so beat up 😭
RC Chick you’re so lucky! I e wanted moxis for four years but I’m not allowed to get them until my feet stop growing
@@ht1ps555 I feel sorry for you...
What size are you? Did you have to get a smaller or bigger size?
I know - cute boxes. But at least you got good skates. Sometimes we just gotta put on some good toe guards and enjoy just the skates. Fwiw, I don't remember anymore where my old inline skate boxes are. I know it's not the same; but at least you have the skates.
porkbun literally same 😭😭
I feel this so much re Pidgeon's wide feet woes. I used to wear a 9.5. When I lost weight and didn't need super wide I went down to a 7.5 (6 in skates) It was amazing. The length of my fit didn't change but I had to wear longer for the width :/
I want to buy some moxi skates one day but the idea of buying ones that don't fit (I'm in the UK) has definitely stopped me! Hopefully this video will help 😁
Edit: I'm UK size 5-6 - I bought some impala skates which told me to buy my European size so I bought a European size 39 which is a UK 6, but when the box came the box said UK size 7! I googled it and yeah EU 39 says it's a UK 6 online... so I'm not sure what the deal was there. The boots are sooo roomy at the front on the impalas... I never know because shoes all seem to be different sizes even when they're meant to be the same 🙄
I also have impalas and from what I've gathered their UK sizes are just wrong lol. I'm a UK 4 which is a European 37 and a US 6. Impala had the EUR 37/US 6 marked as a UK 5. Since two out of three of the sizes matched I still went with that EUR 37/US 6. They fit me fine and I've consistently been a UK 4 across the board in major brands! Primark shoes is a whole other story though hahaha. Hope you're getting on well!
I’m a UK 5.5/6 and just ordered the EU38 impala roller skates, do you reckon that’s too small and I should have gotten the EU39, or that should be okay? The uk sizing with impalas is quite confusing!!
Yeah all the roller skate sizing is sooo confusing for Brits. They all say something different. They're all sold out everywhere so I just bought a size 6 pair off depop so hopefully they'll fit. I'm probs a 5.5 but the bio said they were tight fitting so fingers crossed.
@@aliceorlik7737 have you an update??? Looking for some advice. I’m a 5 - I bought a Eu 38 from impala and they were super tight!! Wondering to swap for a 6
@@ciaramaher8427 how did they fit?
When I worked retail, role-playing with my managers and coworkers was the worst 🙈 I was always so nervous and awkward
If boot too SMALL, take to a shop with a boot stretcher. They can stretch a whole size. I had that done from shop I bought my boots. I’ve owned my skates for 15 years now, still a solid boot.
Yup just tested this with my beach bunnies I went on my toe stops and slipped forward, and I can pretty much move my whole foot around. I'm a woman size 9 now I know to get a size 7 next time for skates.
How?! I’m a 9/9.5...ordered an 8...waaaaay too small and very painful. I waited 5 months for them to arrive and now they don’t fit. 😩😔
Update: Uh so...how about I didn’t take all of the tissue out of the boot. 🤦🏾♀️ Don’t judge me, it was crammed in the toe...🥴 A size 8 fit my 9.5 feet perfectly. 🤗
@@WHATWOULDSHEDOtheshow no worries, that paper is so inside it is actually easy to miss. I realized paper was in there really deep after inspecting deeper, almost missed it. You are too funny, don't feel bad.
@@WHATWOULDSHEDOtheshow lol! thats so funny
@@WHATWOULDSHEDOtheshow This sounds insane to me! I was a solid 9.5 in Womens up until I had my 2nd baby. Now I'm a 10. But I have also gained some weight, so I wonder if I lost 20 lbs, would my shoe size change??
I just got some Impalas(plastic) in like an hour ago!! and they're sooooo stiff. I never thought I had wide feet, but I did always like shoes with a big toe box because narrower shoes would hurt my big toe nail really bad and rub up against my pinky toe. Im worried that they're too small. If they were leather or suede I feel like it'd be more forgiving.
This is so interesting! Normally I am a size 7 (or so I think...), but my boyfriend bought me a pair of size 8 Impala Skates for my birthday, and they were WAY too big. So we went back to Zummies to get a pair of size 7 and they were completely out. WOMP, so the sales rep. suggested I try the next size down - 6, and I slipped my foot right in and it was so comfortable... I was shocked and so was the sales rep... This makes sense now. Lmao! :) Thanks for the video.
This makes me happy I just ordered my first pair of impala I wear a 7 in shoes and ordered a 6 !!! I hope it’s as snug for me as it was for you ✨✨ happy skating
The foot fetish ppl have entered the chat
😭😭😭 noo
Omg hahaha I stumbled across ur channel and ur amazing! Ur funny and beautiful I’m buying lolly’s for my first pair of roller skates because I don’t want to start off with something cheap because I’ve wanted to skate for ages so I know I’m gonna stick to it!
Karen calm down.
🥵
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Dang I just bought skates a couple days ago and I think there a size to big.
You can wear two socks and they’ll probably fit perfectly. You can also get a insole.
@@bunny-vv5bm Thanks, I thought that might work. I'll give it a try next time i'm on my skates.
Get a good, thick, insoles OR wear "fuzzy" socks (the soft, thick, socks often only sold during the winter). Possibly both the insoles and the fuzzy socks, depending on exactly how big the skates are. Do NOT wear two pairs of socks! Wearing two pairs of socks is the leading cause of blisters. Especially in a skate that's too large. You're trying to prevent that from happening...not trying to make it happen.
@@MystiqueRisingSun Thanks, i'll look out for some chunky socks. It's summer where I live right now, so i'll will see what i can find....
@@sophielee781 Just feel them if they don't have the fuzzy's in stock yet. Find the thickest pair they do currently carry...until winter when even heavier ones should be available. :) Well, provided you're anywhere that actually has seasons. LOL (I'd LOVE to live closer to the equator. I hate snow. About as good as I'll ever get might be southern California, though. I could deal with 40-50 degree winters. I'm in Ohio, we hit 0 and below often. YUCK! LOL)
I am an "actual" 6, but have had my feet measured and because of how wide they are (hobbit feet) so i wear a 7 normally. should I go for a 5 still?
Ordered my first pair of lollys and they should be here Friday. I hope they fit!!! I’m so excited.
I play roller Derby and I learn more stuff from you and your so cool and inspirational
Hey! Can I ask you a question? I bought this skates brand roller derby elite and the boot doesn't have a heel, the boot is nicely padded inside and protects the feet well but I'm insecure about the heel. Also, the wheels are quite thin but dense, these wheels are meant to be used inside? Outside are hard to handle. If you could share some knowledge I'll be grateful for it. Thanks!
@@Mtz2604 there's tones of different types of wheels you can get because they are numbered in size and density and it is based on how you like it so you can always change the wheels. For the boot if you don't like it you can always get some new ones or second hand ones or if there fine don't be insecure.
@@lilycurtis2178 thanks a lot!
@@Mtz2604 your welcome 😁
@@Mtz2604 roller derby the brand is seperate to the sport. Generally speaking Derby players prefer a boot with no heel that finishes under the ankle for speed and maneuverability but it's all done to personal taste
well crap my skates come tomorrow and now i’m thinking i’m probably getting a size too big😭 i’m usually a 5.5 but normally wear 6’s because they never sell 5.5s so i got a 5, now i’m wondering if i should’ve gotten a 4 instead😭
I feel you should be able to search for skates by your shoe size on the site.
Despite the measuring I ended up at a shop to make sure. Having shoe size 10.5/11 (US Nike) and 43.5 (EU) I ended op with a size 9 for my skates. So if in doubt, do visit your local shop for the best advise and fitting. Great vid. 👍
Yesssss!!!!! I cant wait for the video!!! I had such a hard time with sizing I never wanted to buy a pair and not be able to return it. I was wondering if in the future you can do a size chart for the suregrip stardust skates. Thanks for your vids!!!
What you were saying about the sizes was sooo true. Growing up I got inline skates and ice skates but aside from ice skating whenever i had time to go to the rink at winter (or the lake but that rarely happens nowadays here) i didn't really skate much the last, idk, maybe 10 years or maybe even 15. No one wanted to go skate with me anymore as we grew up and I didn't want to go skate alone. But starting 2019 I discovered a pair of roller skates in a sportshop nearby and seeing as I never skated on these before i wanted to have some so badly(wanted them as a kid so I went to get them with my mother, was in 1994 but the clerk at the sportshop told us that rollerskates were outdated and it's only inline skates from here on out and rolelrskates really vanished for years here in germany). I was really excited about trying out something familiar yet completely new. So buying inline skates and ice skates for me, my mother was told to always size up 1-2 sizes. As a child that made sense so you could maybe wear them the next year again. But this really stuck with me and as I was buying my first pair of skates, the chaya melrose, I read on the side I ordered from that they fit rather small and so I sized up 2 sizes. Learning more and more on my skates I got to some points where I coudln't get behind why I couldn't do this or that but I noticed that I was severly slipping inside my shoe. Just laced them a bit tighter but it didn't stop the problems, thought I might not get better but then read about fittings of rollerskates and noticed that the shoes just had too much room for my feet and they where about 3cm too loose. So I ordered a new pair in september, one that really fits like a glove and just like that I can do so much more and are so much more comfortable on my skates now. Made such a huge difference!
Now I'm questioning my jack boot sizing, though I've never experienced anything uncomfortable or sliding or blisters. I'm a women's size 8 sneaker and I think my jack boots are also an 8, not totally sure I've had them for a few years now. Hmm.
I have super tiny feet (4) and it was hard to find a skate that fits!! My derby skates are 2 1/2 😬 hoping to get some rec skates soon!! This video helps so much, thank you!
Also the sizing chart on Moxi’s website did not say anything about doing a special order for a half size being an option. Instead, it stated that a size 7 Moxi was appropriate for a size 8 1/2 in shoe size so PLEASE add to the sizing chart information about ordering for HALF sizes. Thank you! We need to know these things BEFORE ordering!
“I’m wearing shortssss!!!” Hahahah skater problems
I just bought candigirl skates size 9 and 10 because I wasn’t sure. The 9s were pretty painful, because I have a very wide foot so my pinky toe was folding over my second toe. But the 10s are way too big length wise, the move a good bit when I step onto my toe stop. Do y’all think insoles into the 10s would help this?
Could you also make a video explaining if it is worth upgrading your plate to an aluminum/ metal one. Like in the case of a Lolly skate you get with a nylon plate, but would it be better to upgrade the plate? In what instances?
THANKS GIRLS YOU REALLY HELPED ME FIGURE OUT MY CORRECT SIZE. I ALWAYS WEAR SHOES BIGGER IM A CITY WALKER! FROM A 91/2 TO AN 8 SURE GRIP FAME LOVE IT. NOW TO ACTUALLY SKATE I USED TO ICE SKATE WHEN I WAS A GIRL TOTALLY EXCITED AND SIKED BTW IM 59 ILL KEEP YALL POSTED LOL THANKS AGAIN GIRLS KEEP SKATING!!!
Oh man.... I just ordered my skates and got a size 7 Lolly... my foot measures just about 9.5 inches which is right in between the length for sizes 6 and 7. Hopefully size 7 will accommodate my wide feet and they’ll fit!! 😳
Did it come yet? Is it fit?
I’m about a 9.5 to 10 depending how the shoe is made and I’m a size 8 skates
Did they fit?
How did they fit?
Thank you so much! All of this was super informative. Can't wait to buy my first pair of skates in a few months.
I hope you are starting with lolly as your first sizing video. I'm ready to buy but want to make sure I get the right size. 😬
I'm 7.5 - 8 in US women's shoe size (EU 38-38.5) , my foot is 24.9 cm long, I fit in Moxi Lolly size 6. If you have wider feet, go for size 7
I'm really looking forward to your sizing videos for each skate. I have very wide feet and am a half size as well. I'd hate to order a custom skate and not have it fit. There aren't any skate shops where I live where I could just try on some Moxi's.
I just got Moonlights and they seem comfy so far
“ Don’t get so close to my feet “ 😂😂❤️❤️ i played that back like 10 times i couldn’t breath
I had always been so scared of skating because my parents never taugh me and I have BILLIONS of doubts that no one could ever help me with. And I want to thank you for that, because you girls are giving me the information I need, and the exciment is building so strongly, I hope I can get to skate peacefully one day, I'm not expecting so much, just to be able to roll, of course I'll fall, but I'm not afraid anymore, thank you
Do you have any insole brand recommendations to make a slightly-too-big boot fit better?
Insoles can be expensive. Try fuzzy socks first. Only get the insoles if needed. I've got a drawer full of nothing but "skate socks" - thinner ones for certain pairs of skates and thicker ones for my other pairs of skates. LOL It's good to stock up on those socks when you do find ones that work for you and your skate.
Get a pair of the cheap foam insoles and then put them underneath the stock insoles that come with your skates. Even better if you can get a stiff felt and cut a new one. We call them growth insoles
#1 I love Pigeon and Indy's videos.
#2 Try Superfeet Black insoles if you have a small volume to make up or Superfeet Green ~$50 to take up more volume. (Hint: buy slightly larger size and cut length down if you're between sizes.) They feel awesome and really support your foot. A supported foot gives you more control, comfort and less fatigue. Nearly ALL of your propulsion force goes through your feet, not to mention landing force. All-day Skaters will benefit from better insoles just like they do from better skate boots, plates, bearings and wheels. If the shoe/skate comes with a pretty good arch supporting insole already, adding a thin flat insole under the stock one might help. Top quality socks (like ski racers and runners use) are fantastic too -- putting the padding where you need it most.
I’m ready for the Beach Bunny episode! I bought a pair last year that are too big and I must make sure I get the right size this time!
So the foot measuring devices that shoe stores (sometimes) have, are they not really useful for skates?
Yes and no. It depends on the skate brand and model. Some are more accurate than others, but the best thing to do is measure your foot...without shoes, but barefoot or with socks is okay. Then use either centimeters or inches to go by instead of a number (such as a 6 is U.S. or a 37 in UK, etc.)...that's the most accurate way. Any skate company will be able to tell you what size you need based on the centimeters/inches. Also measure across the widest part of your foot, too...this helps determine if you should get a narrow, average or wide width. Again in inches or centimeters, skate companies will be able to help you better.
Wish i would have seen this sooner. I recently bought a pair of rollerskates, I wear a size 9 in shoes, the sales person asked which shoes size, and gave me a pair od size 9. I did mention there is about a two finger gap from my toe to top of skate, the sales person told me that was fine. So i bought them... now i am thinking they may be more wiggle room than i want.
Thanks- This helped me figure out that my skates are too big. 😩
I have super wide feet (5E width fitting) - could you do custom skates to fit me?
Eluned Winney totally!
you can also try getting them a size bigger than your shoe size
I wanted to follow my usual EU shoe size which was 39, then I realised that I bought shoes that were usually too big after I measured my feet (228mm). I check the website and the size was suppose to be EU36, so on the advice of the website bought one size up which is EU37. When the skates arrive, it fit but I hate how tight and cramp it feels even though I can wiggle my toes and everything with socks.
I ordered a half size too big because I was scared I measured wrong and I didnt want to be too small, hoping thick socks will make the difference or maybe that insole.
I didn’t see this before I ordered my skates😩😩😩 now I’m so worried
K. Le’voy girl me too 😭 The skates were selling out fast so I wanted to get them right away but I’m worried they might be too big like nooooo
SAME. I am usually a women's 6 or 6.5 US sizing but my feet are wide. I just ordered the Sure Grip Fame outdoor package in a men's size 4 which is what I usually wear in men's when I am trying on Vans or Converse. Fingers crossed I won't have to return them or buy insoles!!!
Liz Brogan I think it really goes off of your own feet because my usual women’s size are 9.5 and I got 10s and they fit perfectly! Fingers crossed yours fit! :)
Anyone get their skates yet? How long did shipping take, I also got sure grip fames and I’m so excited I can’t wait!!!
What happened? Any update?
This is such a great video! I wish I would have seen this when I first ordered skates. I learned the hard and expensive way my skates were too big. My 1st pair of skates was a size 6, 2nd pair sz 5 then I went to get fitted by professional skaters and I'm actually a sz 4.5.
I love this channel because it’s thought me a lot about skating tricks and how to improve my technique
I just realized I meant Taught.
I ordered a size 7 Moxi Lolly when I am a solid 8.5 in women’s shoes. This is correct sizing according to Moxi. I do not have wide feet, but Moxi’s are quite narrow! I took my skates to a country western boot store & they stretched them for me. They fit fine lengthwise & was only tight in the toe area where the skates are narrow so I only had the toe area stretched. I could not hardly sit in these skates much less standing or skating it was so painful! After stretching they’re much more comfortable!
Just got my Moxi panthers about a week ago! I’m usually a size 7.5-8. I tried on the size 7 and they felt like they were suffocating my foot on the sides. The front also hurt. The 8s do feel a little big, but when I put my weight on the toe stop, I don’t slide around. I can PUSH about half an inch to the front. I’m definitely thinking about putting an insole in!
It also depends on the size of how the shoe comes. True to size etc.. I have alot of heels and not all of them are the same size xD
Hi Indy & Pigeon,
Please remind people we are not symmetrical. One foot is usually a little bigger or just different.
Shoe stretchers work. They can ease tight spots and decrease break-in time. Knowing this can help choose the right size, especially those with funky feet. Good fitting boots will help you feel the JOY OF SKATING!
I was a rock climbing pro and I know the importance of good fitting shoes. I'm not a skate pro so maybe ask other top skaters how they succeeded with getting a better fit.
Yessss this is all so true! Good info!
Real customer interaction. omg. This was amazing from a skit point of view. Haven't even got to the actually content and I'm dying. Love retail.
I have wide feet... The longer middle toe... And have trouble because my length is prob less than an 8 buuuutt my feet are too wide to wear a 7. It just hurts my poor baby toe.
Would love advice on best skates for wide feet !
I thought I was a size 9 now I'm questioning lol. I just ordered a pair of impalas in a size nine, how do incorrect skate sizes feel? when I skate in rentals my feet KILL after I'm done a two and a half-hour session, no blisters though
I’m usually a 7 1/2 in shoes but I have wide feet that swell in they get hot so I just ordered a 7 and they fit fine
when i bought my candi girl carlins about two years ago we knew i was pretty much done growing and i wore a size 10 at the time so we sized up one size to the biggest which was an 11. and turns out there a perfect size because my skates ran small and they are a perfect fit with both thin socks and think socks.:)
Thank you so much for this video I've got my skates as an gift and really wasn't shure if those fit, but now I know they fit like a glove
I'm size 7.5 in US womes/ 38 Eur. I wear 7.5 in converse. I bought size 6 in moxi lollys and it's perfect! it fits like a glove, it's very comfortable. Hope this helps someone ☺️
Are you a true 7.5? I’m a size 7.5 /8 . I think the skate I ordered are too big .... I got 7
This helps I was about to order three sizes and colors on Amazon to try them on now I'll just order the 5 and the 6... My foot is a size 6.5 but I wear size 7 womens shoes
I just ordered the Bech Bunny in size 1 on accident. 😂
Im going like in a store with roller bkades and other stuff for other sports and there is no workers to be found exept at the casher so im just going to stick out with urs "idea" but in our sizes cuz we have like 30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38,39,40
What if i have one foot that is an entire shoe size smaller than the other? Would you recommend I size for the bigger foot and just get an insole for the small one to fill the space? or would it be better to purchase the smaller of the two sizes and hope it stretches on the big one? I'm wanting to invest in some Moxies so please advise!
Hello!
I keep hearing sellers telling me to buy one size bigger than my actual size. Is it a good advice?
Im 5.5 uk sizing 38.5 eu. First Ive bought size 6US Moxis Beach Bunnies which is 5 uk. They were to thight for me way to tight in toe box. My small toe was too squished it was going numb. After 30 min of skating couldn’t feel it. I swapped them for 7US which is 6UK. So much different. And yes they probably go little bit loose in time but you can add arch support thicker insole which is game changer 🎉
Love this video! Decided to take my skates out, which has been in their box for several years. Feels great to be skating again. My next thing is to upgrade my skates.
I can't remember the details but I thought I was buying men's size cause the website said it. It was actually US female size 8, which was too small. Got them at size 9, which is my normal size anyway, and it fit perfectly.
I wear EU size 41/ US 9.5 to 10, and the ball is about 9.5 cm. What size Lolly should I get?
I'm European so - I'm size 40-42. Most shoes fit at 40. Skates are 41 because a woman with the same foot lenght as me left a comment on my skates that 40 was too small for her. They are snug, but not too tight; my feet are comfortably stable, not moving but not being like a tied up hostage. Also, the toes are a funny thing - I have wide feet at the front, both of them, but one second toe is a tiny bit longer then the big one, the other second toe is way smaller because I get one foot from my mom, the other from my father. Literally. I also always choose the size based on the slightly bigger foot due to an ingrown nail. So it can be really tricky to fit a shoe.
Guess it’s time for a trip to Long Beach to get fitted properly for some skates! I live in SC so there aren’t any skate shops in the area where I live.
Do itttttt it's such a fun trip!
pigeon is so cool
I have size 13 men's feet and I don't know where to find any skates.
Can roller skates be punched out like figure skates? I have an extra bone in my left foot and the fitter punched out that area in my skates (Edeas)
When is the chart and sizing video coming,???
Got my skates on NYE 2019 @ the Venice beach shop ❤️❤️❤️ fell and twisted my ankle inside the shop (LMAO) but I am IN LOVE!!! Thank you Indy for inspiring me to become a roller skater ❤️🌈⚡️
Hope your ankle is ok! HAPPY SKATING :D
The first 3 minutes of this made me laugh harder than most comedy specials do.
This is gonna be a great series because I really want to start casual skating but I’m in the UK and a really boring small town in South Yorkshire so if I can figure out my Lolly size, I’ll be able to order online and hopefully have no problems!!!!
Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You ! Thank you for bringing up and expanding this topic ♥♥♥♥♥ :)
Polish roller- skater. Cheers :)
Did you ever make a video on the lolly skate sizing???
I second this question
This is a really great video but I'm a little confused, On the Moxie website, the sizing chart says 6-6.5 = size 5 skate ( for the lolly skate) but Indy is an 8, and she's wearing a 7? Is that just the amount of play, one to one and a half sizes? She says they are a little snug in the video and as a size 6.5, I'm not sure what size I would be. I don't live near a skate shop that sells these and I'm concerned I'm going to get the wrong size and I will have to pay a restocking fee to exchange. Can anyone clarify? Thanks so much!
Sarah updates ?
Anna BL Yep! Size 5 fit like a glove! No blisters, no break in period nothing. LOVE THEM! 🥰
I can't agree that if your heels slides out that the shoes are too big for you. I have narrow feet, and especially narrow heels. And I wear 10.5/11 US and I notice a huge change in width between 10 and 11. Suddenly if your foot is a bit longer, they assume it's really wide as well. So my heel slides up in most shoes I own. But if I got a smaller size, my toes would be killing me.
The opposite happened to me, I wore shoes that were too small for too long. Then went up two UK sizes and I'm in heaven, I finally have toe room and zero pain when walking long distances. For skates, though I buy a little smaller.
My first skates arrived today and i wish i bought different. I got the suregrip gt50s but they have a lot of padding which keeps making my foot feel loose. Next time I’ll get something right and leather.
Thank you for sharing your wisdom with all of us . Great information
My feet are almost identical to pigeons! Also this video was super helpful. My husband actually got me my skates when he got our kids skates so we could all skate together and I’m realizing now they are too big😫I’m a size 8 shoe and I have size 8 skates. I’ve been skating on them a lot recently( used to only skate 1-2 times a month at rink now it’s 2-3 times a week) my ankle and foot have been bothering me and I’m trying to figure out if this could be a factor.
Wow! VERY informative! Thanks, Pigeon! I’ve learned a lot about fitting skates and my shoes!
I'm a 10 wide in women US. What size should I get?
Ordered my first pair of skate today🥳
In for the euro sizes. Have you noticed more consistency in the sizes using euro sizing? I've seen a lot more consistency across brands of athletic/casual shoes when using that scale
Let us know if you make that chart! I could totally use it ahah I wear a size EU 38 or 39 depending on the shoe and I have wide feet :( ooof
indy is so positive and helpful :) thanks for these videos!
Hey guys help me !!!!!!!! So I want to get these skates and they are a size 9 in ladies but my normal shoe in ladies is a size 7 and I’m 13 and I’m still growing and I don’t want them to be to tight so should I get them?!?! If not, what size skate would I be guys?!
This is so helpful! I'm getting my first ever roller skates soon so I'm nervous as some makes are larger than your own shoe size, etc!
Also learnt something new about the shape of my feet too. Longer second toe club! XD
Where can I find this chart?! I've been looking through your entire TH-cam and haven't found another video on the sizing chart :/
Hello, Ladies! I just ordered my first pair of quads from your shop site. Hoping I got the measurement right. I take an 8 1/2 to 9 in women's shoes (US) and an 8-9 in inline skates. Ordered an 8. Hopefully they'll work. Fwiw, I think my daughter's and my inline skating may have inspired our neighbors' kids to learn quad skating. The kids like to hang out with my daughter and me. Their parents don't skate, so I ordered a pair of quads to learn how to teach their kids to brake and skate safely on quads. Here's hoping things work out. BTW, I wanna learn jam skating in short order. = )
Did it work?
I am going down a line and like all of your posts and videos , just because I love you guys and you are deserve the boost after all unfair comments on FB !
what if i ordered the wrong size and when i tried it it doesn't fit?Im from Malaysia and my shoe size is 38
i just received my first pair of beach bunny skates and i noticed it made my feet feel very tired and sore. is this because of the laces?
I feel like my feet fit well inside my skates but after around 5 minutes of skating my feet start cramping like hell. What could this be? I've tries researching this everywhere and never found an answer
It cramps to the point I have to stop and take them out.
This happens to me too
