Figure guide for figure skating - proper measurement at home, adjustment tables for skating boots and blades, width selection and support, and tips for beginners and advanced. Easy ordering and shipping throughout the country.

  1. Place a sheet of paper against the wall. Stand barefoot with heel touching the wall.

  2. Mark the tip of the long finger and measure the length in centimeters. Measure both legs and select the longest.

  3. Add a small comfort interval: adults 0 to 0.5 cm, children 0.5 to 1.0 cm (for growth).

  4. Foot width: If the foot is wider than normal, consider Wide.

  5. Sock: Measure with a thermal thin sock, not thick.

Important: Each manufacturer has its own conversion chart. The tables here are general and are for initial guidance. Always check the model table on the product page.

How to measure at home

Toughness and support selection

  • Beginners and kids: Low to medium rigidity for comfort and technique learning.

  • Intermediate: Medium rigidity to support basic jumps.

  • Advanced: High rigidity to support multi-turn jumps.
    Choose hardness by weight, training level, and number of workouts per week.

select width

  • Narrow/Medium/Wide or by letter (A/B/C/D).

  • If there's pressure on the sides of your fingers or bunion, switch to a wider width or a wider template model.

General size chart for figure skating boots

The blade length is measured in inches. A correct choice is usually a blade that is about 0.25 inches shorter than the length of the boot's rear sole (depending on the model). The following are auxiliary ranges:

Blade Tips:

  • The tip of the blade (Heel) does not protrude beyond the heel and is not too short.

  • For dancers who use advanced jumps, a blade with a profile and a higher quality toe pick is recommended.

  • Correct initial sharpening greatly affects control and safety.

length

home compatibility check

  • When standing, the fingers can touch the tip lightly without sharp pressure. When bending your knees, you free up a little space.

  • Stable heel grip - The heel does not wander with easy walking.

  • Free ankle range of motion with no sharp pressure points.

  • for children - only a small growth interval so as not to compromise control.

 

common mistakes to avoid

  • Buy by age instead of actual measurement.

  • too large for a child - compromises control and safety.

  • thick sock that fakes the measurement.

  • Ignoring the manufacturer tables for the specific model.

 

short maintenance that prolongs life

  • Internal drying after each workout and removing insoles.

  • Rigid blade guards for walking and fabric guards for storage.

  • periodic sharpening depending on usage.


The tables are a general approximation. There may be differences between models and manufacturers. It is recommended to check a model table on the product page and take an actual measurement.
