Are roller skate sizes the same as shoe sizes?
Usually not. Women's quad skates often run true to US shoe size, but inline skates and European brands typically use EU or mm sizing. Brands like Rollerblade size 1–1.5 sizes smaller than US shoe size, while others like Moxi run true to size. Our calculator handles all conversions automatically.
How do inline skate sizes compare to shoe sizes?
Most inline skates (rollerblades) run 1 to 1.5 US sizes smaller than your regular shoe size. For example, if you wear a US men's 10 shoe, you likely need a size 9 or 9.5 inline skate. However this varies by brand — always use a brand-specific size chart or our calculator for accuracy.
What is my rollerblade size if I wear a men's size 10 shoe?
For most rollerblade brands (Rollerblade, K2, Powerslide), a men's US size 10 shoe typically corresponds to a size 9 or 9.5 inline skate. Use the calculator above and select your specific brand for the most accurate recommendation.
Can I use this calculator for kids' skate sizes?
Yes. The calculator supports children's skate sizing. Select 'Kids' or the appropriate category, enter your child's shoe size, and choose the target brand. For growing children, some parents size up half a size to extend the life of the skate.
What if my exact size isn't available in the brand I want?
The calculator shows the closest available size. If your ideal size is out of stock, we recommend sizing up by half a size and using thicker socks for a snug fit. You can also contact our Toronto experts for personalized fitting advice.
Do quad roller skate sizes work the same as inline skate sizes?

Are hockey skate sizes the same as shoe sizes?
Hockey skates typically run 1.5 to 2 US sizes smaller than your shoe size. A player wearing a US size 9 shoe usually needs a size 7 or 7.5 hockey skate. Our calculator supports hockey skate conversions alongside recreational inline and quad skates.
