Shoe size is only a rough guide, at best a starting point. Shoes are designed to flex whereas skates are designed to keep your foot still in the perfect position. A fitting with an Edea dealer will ensure the best fit and the ultimate in performance.

No! Everyone’s feet are actually slightly different. The memory foam will be shaped for them. By checking their boots you may think they’re too short when they are too narrow or vice versa. Sometimes, the pressure points don’t match and so the right size can feel wrong. Always size with new boots.
No! Growth is not uniform and can vary in a year. The changes are not always proportional. Sometimes skaters have been compensating for big boots by over tightening laces and deforming boots so it’s always best to get measured.
No! These sizes are for reference only. Use one of the three sizing methods.
For the best fit, nothing beats the personal touch so pop down to your local Edea Authorized dealer.
Edea boots are anatomically shaped and padded, designed to give extra lateral support so bunga pads should not be necessary. Remember, Edea boots can be adjusted to your feet using Instant Custom Fit. However, if you want to wear a bunga pad this is not an issue.
The innersole is the best indicator of size. If there are issues, it is probably one of 2 issues. New boots: you may need some custom shaping to get the perfect fit. Check with your dealer. Old boots: if you do not unlace boots can become narrower or suffer from Aladdin's tip. If this is the case, your dealercan adjust your boots. Remember to always unlace properly - your boots need to relax too!
You should check with a medical professional regarding orthotics. Shoes and skates have different roles and so orthotics cannot be swapped. If you already have skate orthotics, please bring them to your fitting. If not, size without orthotics. Your medical professional can then create orthotics for your skates. In any case, the size of the skates must be the correct one for the length of the feet and not one size more.
Firstly it is always advisable to buy the right size. Thick socks or 2 pairs of cotton socks (a material that stretches and moves freely) can move around your foot, creating blisters or rubbing and less
security. For skaters whose feet are still growing, Edea recommends no more than 10mm growth room. This means by the middle of the season the skates will fit perfectly. For the early part of the season, a thicker insole can help but will reduce feel and performance slightly.
Sizing and fit are constant across the range, although different padding may give a slightly different feel. This means you can simply swap models, but we recommend using yourAuthorized Edea dealer to check size and fit for each new pair. Attention ! If you change the range of collections, going from ice to roller or vice versa, check again, there may be small differences.
Numbers only relate to size, fitting is more complicated than that, which is why we recommend going to your nearest Edea dealer. If you can’t get to a store, dealers can help with remote sizing, see here for details.
Apart from underperformance and less fun, other more serious consequences could happen. From boots being damaged, blisters and pain, through to more serious long term injuries.
We recommend getting a proper fit from an Authorized Edea Dealer. This ensures the perfect fit, and if required, allows the dealer to do custom shaping.
90% of skaters use C width but narrower and wider options are available in our ice and inline collection. The key in skates is the heel pocket which holds the heel in place. Larger widths also mean larger heel pockets. An Authorized Edea Dealer will be able to offer the best advice and using Instant Custom Fit ensure your boots are perfectly adjusted for your feet.
