Measuring For Skates
Measuring correctly for your skates is very important.
All the methods use millimeters for accuracy as Edea skates are sized at 5 millimeters intervals.
Don’t forget to do both feet as each is unique!
Imperial Artisitic RSC Skate Specification
•The skate specification you will need is as follows –
•Boot – Edea Classica, Plate – Roll Line Variant, Wheels – Ice 92.
•If the Classica boot is unavailable choose an Edea Rondo Boot and swap that out when the Classica Boot arrives. Please specify White colour for female and black for male.
We Recommend the Following Authorised Skate Suppliers:
When To Measure
Simply measuring a static foot when sitting down in the morning will not give the correct size. When the foot is under load and in warm conditions, the size can increase by 5%. For this reason we recommend late afternoon to give a better approximation of your foot when skating.
Foot Tracing
If you can’t get to a dealer then tracing your foot is the next best solution.
Follow the instructions below to get accurate tracings.
How to trace
-
Place the paper on a hard surface
-
Stand on the paper barefoot
-
Your feet should be shoulder-width apart, knees slightly flexed
-
Your weight should be on the foot to be traced
-
Get a friend to trace that foot. The pen must be upright
-
Both feet can be traced on the same page
-
On the tracings, mark the middle of the heel
-
Then mark the furthest point (it might not be your “big toe”)
-
Measure and write the length in millimeters for both feet
-
At the widest point measure and write the width
-
Tip: We would recomend adding 10mm to your tracing size.
