- Stand up on top of a piece of paper, take a pencil and trace around your toes and behind your heel on both feet.
- Take a ruler and place it across two point on the tracing that are furthest away from each other to make the biggest line possible within the outline of your foot

- Write down the measurement in inches compare both feet and pick the largest measurement, then plug it into the sizing chart of the skate manufacturer that made the boots/skates you're trying to buy which can be found here
- If choosing a pair of skates for a child get half a size bigger than their foot lenght to allow for growing, but never get bigger than 1 full size.
