Choosing the correct skate size is one of the most important aspects to ensure comfort, control and safety, both in roller skating and ice skating.
In this blog post , we explain, in a simple yet professional way, how to correctly measure your foot following the official guidelines.
A skate of the correct size allows you to:
maintain correct posture
improve stability and control
avoid pain and blisters
correctly support the jumping and rotation technique
A skate that is too large can compromise performance and increase the risk of injury.
Growing foot (children and teenagers): maximum +10 mm
Already formed foot (adults): maximum +5 mm
These tolerances serve to ensure comfort without losing precision and control.
To measure your foot correctly you need:
an A4 sheet
a pencil or pen
a rigid ruler or measuring tape
a wall
Place the A4 sheet on the floor, against the wall .
Place your foot on the sheet with your heel firmly supported and perpendicular to the wall .
Stand upright , distributing your weight on your foot.
Using the pencil, trace the outline of the foot, faithfully following its shape .
Repeat the operation for both feet .
It is important to follow the profile of the foot without tilting the pencil inward or outward.
Locate the longest toe , which may be the big toe or the second toe.
Using the ruler, measure the distance from the heel to the tip of the longest toe .
Draw a straight line between these two points.
Write down the measurement
If the measurements of the two feet are different, always use the one of the larger foot .
To the length of the foot add:
+10 mm if the foot is growing
+5 mm if the foot is already formed
The measurement obtained will be the one to use as a reference to identify the correct Edea skate number .
Every foot is different and each one can fit slightly differently based on their physiognomy.
