  
The correct size is obviously the starting point when purchasing a new pair of skates. A skate should fit your foot like a pair of shoes, so you should allow between 1/4" and 1/2", depending on whether your foot is still growing. If you are a woman, make sure you pay special attention to the sizes that are available in each model. Some of the skates come in men's or ladies' sizes, but some are only available in men's sizes. You may go down one size if you have to purchase a men's. Some models may run large or small. Check the descriptions below to help you determine the best size for you. If a skate is listed as not returnable, you may want to order a boot only for sizing before determining which size for us to mount. Also, be sure your skates fit before you skate in them. (David Ramsey)Another sizing tip: A Dr Scholls gel insole takes up 1/2 shoe size.
