Skate Width Chart - Ice Skates and Inline Skates

Skating is great fun, both ice skating and inline skating. But it is very important that the skates fit well to get the most out of it. Actually, if the skates are too big, og too wide, your feet will move / slide inside the skates, and you will get less control. And if the skates are too small, or too narrow, it will feel uncomfortable, resulting in poorer performance. 

Because of this, it is very important to make sure you choose the right skate size (length), as well as a proper skate width. Let us help you to choose the right skate width with out Skates Widt Chart below:
