Beginner skater correct skate size

old_guy2020

I want to start inline skating for exercise, should I buy skates the same size as my running shoes or my foot size, they are 1/2 size different?

Usually buy them smaller, about a half size to a full size. But it depends on the specific brand sizing of both your normal shoe and the skate.

Thanks, for the advice. I'm hoping to get some decent skates and really put some time and energy and have fun. Any advice for skates, I would likely not want to spend more than about $280 or so tops.

I bought the running shoes from Saucony online shoe shop on a concession by using Saucony discount codes. So I also want the same size as my running shoes.

If insoles are responsible for your footbed, paddings take charge of the rest of your foot’s areas. So, if you want to surround your feet with softness and comfort, consider buying a pair of fully padded shoes. These sneakers come with firm foams on the collars and the tongue, wrapping each foot with plushy surfaces.

Penny was a good choice for me when I first decided to start learning to skate. Suitable for walking on the street or walking in the schoolyard. And when you are fluent, you can switch to skateboards.

Shoe size isn’t the only factor that we have to consider. But I think you should also consider your build and body type. If you are a kid, it is obvious that you should take a mid-size skateboard.
