When getting your skate size, it is better to base your sizing on the cm or inches measurement of your foot. Your regular shoe size in US or EU sizing may not be reliable when it comes to skates because skates usually have a different sizing. You can use your regular shoe size as a sense check only. Each brand of roller skates also has a different sizing.
Recommended fit for skates is snug but not uncomfortable. Your toes should not be crunched in the toe box.
When getting your skate size, we usually look at 2 measurements: the length of your foot and the width of your foot.
You should note that both our feet do not come in the same size. One foot is always bigger than the other. It is suggested that you follow the measurement of your bigger foot.
1. Getting your foot length
Most roller skates only have 1 width for all sizes, so most of the time, skaters only need to get their foot length. You can follow this guide to get your foot length:

This is where you should start and end your measurements:
2. Getting your foot width
Knowing your foot width is more common with ice skates. To measure the width of the foot, find the widest part of your foot and wrap a tape measure around it. Similar to how waistlines are measured. You should also do this while standing up.
3. Getting your skate size
After getting these 2 measurements, check the size chart of the skates you want. Refer to the cm or inches column of the size chart and find the corresponding skate size, that is your skate size.
