- In this episode DO MY ROLLER SKATES FIT!? I went to the NEW Moxi Roller Skate shop in Long Beach to ask the shop girls for some advice on knowing how to fit skates. Ashley, Emma, and Rosie give advice on what to do when you get your rollr skates in the mail or home from the skate shop and you are trying them on for the first time.
Shop local and small businesses- you're making a difference in someone's everyday life when you shop small.

Notes: you want shoe to touch every part of your foot. Shoe might feel cramped at first but after tying up laces all the way to the top, it pulls your heel back. After tying your laces, you should be able to wiggle your toes but not feel like your foot can shift back and forth. Your feet should be lying flat. Okay if it brushes up against the front sides slightly but not okay if it feels like it will push thru the front front. Make sure toes are not feeling cramped in the toe box. Make sure toe is touching the front of skate. You want it as tight as possible without toes curling. Make sure heel isn’t lifting when shoe is tied . beach bunny 1/2 to 1 shoe size down, fames size 2 down and Lolly is 1.5 down. Beach bunny are stiff and fames are v cushioned. Lillie’s are more narrow but forms to your feet. Lady size 9 = beach bunny 8. Fames size 7. I dont think they said the size of the Lollies. Half sizers should put in shoe insoles instead of 2 socks on.
I wear a 7.5 in Vans and 7 narrow in Birkenstocks and I wear a 6 in Moxi Lollys and Beach bunny...hopefully this helps someone lol
yes thank you so much!!!! i was unsure about my half size and whether or not my skates would fit. thank you this was super helpful!
Yes, I got a size 6 wish I got 7. I am a half size too. I have beach bunnies. I am wearing them and gonna make it work.
THANK YOUUU I just order a 6 and was panicking about whether I made the right choice. I was looking at my vans and my computer back and forth.
This is my exact sizing... THANK U!
Yes! I'm a 6.5 and ordered a 5 in lollys and am nervous about it but it seems like they'll be good.
if they hurt at all, they do not fit. do not injure your feet with ill-fitting shoes. immediately send them back and search for a bigger size or different fitting brand.
you want skates to fit just right so your foot and ankle are secure in the skate. you do not want any pain.
I wish there were more skate shops in Europe. :( I really like the point about it being more environmentally friendly if you need to return/exchange, providing jobs etc. Also for sizing....I am one of those unfortunate people that are in-between sizes.
Yeah Europe is really lacking in this departement. The next shop that locally sells Rollerskates in my country would be about 4hours away from me. At first I wanted to get some Moxi Lollys next year but a german brand is launching their new modells in december. They are from Hamburg and I really want to support them cause their skates seem like they are so good and even if I can't buy them locally I'm still able to purchase them from a Company from my country. Still would want a skateshop that's not so far away to be able to go there more often for supplies. We actually do have skateshops, but they are boarders only and the area I live in doesn't really have a rollerskate community (working on that :D). Might be up to me to start my own shop once I have learned much more about skating :D
@@mandydiao2805 know that feeling :D
Roller skating isn't that know in Germany.
yea think about that i live in Greece .... no roller skates at all and i cant buy 🤷🏻♀️
@@mandydiao2805 wait that's so cool what brand is it?
@@mandydiao2805 wie heißt der Shop? :3
I wish I had a local skate shop! Rollerskating isn't nearly as popular on the east coast as it is on the west coast! We've got Skateboarding shops and I buy bearings and what I can from them. But I wish I could try a skate on before I buy - somethning you can't do online.
I feel you. I'm in the same spot. east coast there's more skateboard shops than anything. you have roller skating rinks but no roller skate shops to match the rinks.
yeah im in MI and theres basically only skateboard shops.
It's only highly popularized in Southern California, Northern California and the PNW (Pacific North West) don't have any shops that are specialized roller skate/ roller blade shops. It just rains too much for outdoor skating to be popular, and it's fairly cold for 9 months out of the year. You can find skate info though at roller rinks if you're near any! If you can, try big outdoor/sports chain stores, because they usually have some skates that you can try on. Hope this helps anyone who comes across this comment!
same here! i live in upstate new york & there just isn’t roller skate culture around here. maybe since it’s becoming popular again shops will sprout up🤷🏻♀️
im in MA and the only skate shop i know of is in NH
As a manager of a local business, I'm glad you really took the time to emphasize how important it is to shop local. We try to do what we can to make sure that you not only get your product, but give you an experience! I've loved Skating as a child and love how informative and non-judgemental all of your content is!
I’m one of those annoying half size people, and this was terrifically helpful- thanks!
This was extremely helpful for those of us who have to order online
So I ordered suregrip fames and I got them today! I listened to this (I’m a size 9 in women’s so I got a size 7 in mens) and I was scared I got the size wrong. I put my foot in and exactly as she described it, my toes touched the front but as soon as I laced them up, my foot went back, and they’re reallyyyyy comfortable. Thank you sooo muchh!
Im also a 9 so thanks for this !
@@madison-3-512 You’re welcome! Also, I had ordered Impalas in a 9 but had to return them due wrong sizing. I recommend going up a size if you
do get Impalas.☺️
@@natalydrian thanks!
wish I had local options!
Kathryn S I wish there were local skate shops everywhere! Maybe someday ♥️
I just have to have a wide width! Why does it cost an extra $100 for wide width in the jack boots?! That's the only thing that is holding my back from learning to skate!
Yesssss this is such great info! Thanks Rebel!
I am confused. In the Planet Roller Skate fitting video it's said that the front of your toes should not touch the boot but here it's said that your toes should touch all around. What is the right way to tell if they fit?
I tried two sizes, both fit perfectly in the other ways that are described. Only difference they have is that my big toe touches the front of the boot in the smaller size and it doesn't with the bigger size. I don't know which one to go for.
@@Mona_Motion confusing
I got my moxi mollys. I wear a 7.5 in converse and I wear a 6 in Moxi Lollys. ☺️ It fits like a glove. Very comfortable! Hope this helps someone ☺️
Thanks so much! the half size struggle is nerve wrecking. Are you able to wear socks too?
Having one coherent sizing system without splitting it into women's and men's seems way easier and less likely to cause trouble. Like in europe size 38 is the same for everyone. Is there any hidden benefit for these us size systems? Well I guess the same can be argued for celsius and fahrenheit, I guess.
No our sizing sucks period and there are even variations of different sized for the same size, different company.
You guys are so lucky to be able to have a skate shop to go into!!! I'm well jel!
I'm 54 and Moxi Rainbow Rider is my very first skate with a wide box toe that doesn't scrunch my feet. I've had Chicago skates in the past. I found out that I can actually custom-order my skates. For now, I'll keep skating with my Moxi Rainbow next year I'll upgrade to suede, but for now Rainbow Rider is an amazing skates.
I don't have a local skate shop that offers Moxi though
Porschia Reynolds then planetrollerskate.shop !
Tbh, I’m still shook that you lace your laces in a downward motion.
It saves the metal pieces from breaking.
It's actually common in the artistic world. As Te Bu said, it saves the speed hooks a little wear and tear, but it also doesn't take as long to lace them up...both are great aspects when artistic skating. You can change your wheels, your stops, bearings, cushions, laces, etc...but - unfortunately - you can't just "change" the speed hooks. Artistic skaters will do everything they can to prevent the hooks from breaking. From artistic skating to skate parks, if you skate a lot and have a boot that has the hooks, it really helps preserve them as long as possible. I got my first artistic skates when I was 12, and had them until I was well into my 30's, an artistic skater at my local rink taught me that trick when I got them, never had an issue with the hooks. 20+ years of use, not one hook ever bent in.
It’s normal to do that for me lol. Literally every single figure skater ties them like that and the roller skating boot isn’t very different so why not
this helped me FINALLY pick my size in the Lollys - just ordered them and I'm so so so excited
Did you take a size up or a size down ?
Thanks a lot for this great video. I just bought a pair of Moxi Lolly, but they feel not right. Now I know they are too big. Hopefully I can return them and buy a size down. Thanks for the very good description of how a skate should feel in the toe area (like a sock) to be alright! Unfortunately there is no skate shop selling Moxi in my region, so I have to buy online 😢. Maybe you should start a Moxi shop in Berlin (Germany), reaching lots of customers! That would be sooooo awesome ❤
Yeah I think I’m just going to have to take a trip to Cali & get Lolly for my birthday in January 😪 these wait times are crazy & every single skate in the WORLD is sold out rn. Hope everyone with skates is enjoying them for me!
I ordered skates on amazon last Monday and their coming in this Monday (thanks to prime) they were like 70 dollars so idk what to expect. Im a beginner so I didn’t want to get expensive skates. Fingers crossed that I like skating and get moxi for my birthday in August. Wish you the best of luck for your skates and hope you get them!
K’yona Forte’ Resell bots are SO annoying. How did you figure out which moxi color you want theres so many 😩
K’yona Forte’ Never too much!! When I get older all im gonna buy is skates lol. i was looking into moxis and moonlight and can’t decide. I got cheap skates off of amazon to start off. Im stuck between moxi lollys taffy and honeydew. If i got moonlight roller I would get emerald city. I wont be getting a new pair of skates until next year so hopefully the trend dies down then. My goal is to have skates for any outfit 😊
This was such a great video! I just had some moxi lolly skates arrive in the mail and I was sure they were too small, but after watching the video, I've realised they are perfect! Thank you!
Thanks for the video. I just bought the beach bunny’s in a size 5 from my local skate shop. However, they do not fit. They are too big. So i gave them to a family member. Now I know since I wear a size 5 women’s I need a 4 in skates. Thanks.
Why not return them?
I would’ve just returned them then get the size 4
Hey, may I ask what is your original shoe size please ? I'm hesitating between a size 5 and a size 4 for the beach bunny :)
I wear a size 8 women’s and my moxi’s are size 5’s and they fit great !!
I'm so happy I saw your comment, I've been freaking out thinking a size 5 sounded way off from my regularly size 8.5 feet, everyone else is going down one size but to go down three??
I'm looking at buying Moxi's myself. I'm an 8.5 or an 8 usually, and I'm not sure if I should get a six or a seven in Moxi's. Hecking confused.
Thank you for the advice are you skinny foot or wide foot
Yikes I just bought a moxi size 7 now I'm scared hahaha
@@MrDanielle001 I did the same just now, I'm a size 8 and bought a 7. Fingers crossed, wishing luck to both of us!
This was sooooooo helpful!!! Just got my new skates in today and I thought maybe they were too small because it is snug. Basically what they said. Toes upfront without curling and snug fit. Wasn't sure if it was normal? But this put my concerns to rest! So happy I don't have to send them back!!
I kinda wish I had held out a little longer for the lollies but I'm excited for my beach bunnies to come in 8-10 weeks lol
Thank you so much! This was really the info that i needed! I was really scared my skates where to small! But after watching this im sure they are just right! Everyone should watch this video before buying new skates! Thanks Rebel and Shove! You guys are an inspiration!
"you giving someone money to get groceries" that sentence must go further!!! just sticking up for my fellow small farmer skaters- most small farms or farmers market vendors accept SNAP/WIC/SeniorBucks, so affordability ought not discourage anyone from buying and supporting local food. Also, most small farms will work with you if you find your financial situation doesn't lend itself to farmers market shopping/CSA boxes; often the farm has put aside some $ to subsidize shares and have modified payment plans available. If the cost is still prohibitive, most small farmers will teach you how to grow things (maybe even sell seed/seedlings to you at cost)! Some offer work-shares, and all are willing to lend their knowledge. Also most often, small farmers are fighting for YOU, responsible land management, and worker's rights everyday (so most folx CAN choose to spend a weekend rolling on wheels)
What if I was interested in buying some used Moxi's? My concern is that they have already stretched to the size of the previous user. Is that an issue?
no it kind of breaths over time it will "shrink" again I bought a size 7 and I wore 9 because of width. Found out I could fit a 6 with a good stretch.
something i do to speed up the form footing process is while i have my moxis on i get my hair dryer and do a light fan over them
I wear 7.5, got 6 Lollys. They fit great all over - toes, width... EXCEPT, my heel moves side to side. Any idea on how to stop this?
Great video, as always❤
You can use heel lock lacing or wear a gel sleeve on your ankle.
@@NatashaEstrada thanks - I recall seeing something about ways to lace for different fits - I'll look it up!
I wear a size 4 in vans and I got a 4 in both my Lollys and Jacks🖤 in women’s I’m about a 5.5-6
Carolina Crespo I’m a size 5 in men vans should I get a size 5 with the molly beach bunny?
emily L Beach bunnies run a little smaller than Lollys and jacks if you wear a women’s 7 I’d do a size 6 but if you can try them on before buying that’ll probably be the best bet
I’m a true women’s 6.5...what size would you assume that to be in the Lollys?
Whitney Thomas I would do a size 5 if you like stuff pretty fitted it would be a 4.5 but Lollys don’t come in half sizes so a 5 should be fine if they feel a little loose thick socks or an extra insole will help
So much info!! Another great video, I’m literally binge watching your channel 💕💕
Love this video! All skates reviewed are even on Amazon. As far as shopping big Corp (Amazon) vs small businesses, Amazon offers refunds, that is important to me as a hard working consumer. Thiis small business and many others only offer exchanges. I personally prefer the option to get my $$$ refunded back to me if I choose.
Same. I try to support small businesses but I avoid any store that doesn’t have a good return policy. Just for my mental peace of mind. Most of the time I never have to return but I’m not willing to chance it
i just got skates and they were hurting the sides of my feet and when i went to stand up and move in them, the fabric was making noises because everything is squeezing and i even hd trouble getting around my ankle to fully close.
after i tied them tighter from the bottom i was able to get the ankle where the top of the tongue is to close but it hurts my feet and still makes noise. THE THING IS… i feel its mostly thr width of my foot and not the length and i figured if i order the next size up it wont rlly help
As someone with a size 9.5-10 womens shoe size, size 8 men's (depending on the brand,) i don't feel super confident with a fitting like this. I've had shoe shop attendants tell me i can go smaller and taken damage to my pinky toe nails (they curl under when compressed, i REALLY need wide toe boxes but a lot of brands just don't make shoes that way). I bought men's skates in size 8 and they fit great, no sliding back and forth. I just ordered Moxi Beach Bunnies in size 9, i really really hope that i didn't waste 200 bucks on skates that can't be exchanged.
How did those skates fit?? I bought some used ridells and i can’t even use them bc my feet still hurt when i skate 2 yrs later
@@MsLira05 The Beach Bunnies? I won't know till they get to me, they're not shipping till October.
I'm exactly the same. I am usually a size 9.5 to 10 in women's shoe but usually go for a 10 which is pretty much all the time. I don't even bother with half size because 10's feel just fine for me. I want the Lolly s' but I am scared to go down 2 shoe sizes. I feel like a 9 would be fine but I'm not sure. I don't know which one's to buy since and I have no skate shops no where near me.
Hey there, Im also a 9.5-10 woman shoe size a 39-40 EU. But with the 39 EU are right at the edge of the shoes. With a 40 a have wiggle room. I dont have wide feet. I want to order the beach bunny's. But im not sure what size to order. Once you have yours could u let me know how they fit?
@@leberetframboise1689 how did they end up fitting?
This video was super helpful. It helped me confirm my Moxi Beach Bunny size and I ordered my first pair of skates!
This video is everything. Thank you so much for making this video! 😭💞
I also wear a size 9 shoe what size where you in the lolly's? it was the only size that wasn't mentioned in the video.
I'm wondering the same thing!!
@@karlam323 she made a recent video I just watched. She got a size 7!
I'm on my third pair of skates in three months. First pair was a sure-grip Fame and I'm not sure if it was really too small or if I had them laced wrong (I have relaced them for toe room. They're manageable. I ordered a pair of BTFL's in their 11 (but theyre Euro sizes and run small.) Had to work with them, trying to stretch the toes and lace for toe room. They were manageable. Then my Lollies finally came and I got them in a 10 and they're about the most perfect boot I've had on. (I typically wear size 11 us women's sneakers or a men's 9.5)
I had to buy Beach Bunnies from a different retailer because Moxi’s site was sold out and people are price gouging so badly on Poshmark and eBay, so I really appreciate this for sizing guidance. If I end up loving my skates I definitely want to get a pair of Lollys from a local shop. Thank you!
I'm a 37.5, uk 4.5, I guess that would make me a size 7? I have pretty wide, kinda short feet (with shoes I often have to size up because they're too narrow) I just got the black Lolly in size 5 and they fit great!
Omg!! Thank you so much for this. I had no idea my skates were way too big all this time. I need to upgrade my skates anyway but I'm glad I won't make the same mistake again:)
There's like an inch of room between my toe and the front of the boot!
You could try the gel inserts in the meantime, just an idea 😉💜
@@annabananavwify oh yeah, thanks :)
@@x-Kennii-x Your very welcome 😊
Rebel this was so helpful!! I just got my Impala’s in the mail today and I was freaking out that they were too small as my toes are touching at the front, but now I know this is meant to happen 🥳
Noice! Do u find the skates are still the correct size a year later? Xoxo
@@UToober17 I actually ended up getting the bigger size cause they were crushing my toes too much!
@@frecklesimmer It might be the materials they're made with. Leather expansion more but vinyl doesnt.
What are the gel inserts they talk about for the half sizes?
The gel insoles are a removable shoe insert, they would help raise the foot to make the skate more snug.
Jennifer Summ it could be any gel insert you like. Dr scholls or any other that is comfortable for you
Just any insole for shoes that raises the foot up doesn't have to be gel
Ok now I’m pretty sure my Lolly’s are too loose.
Tessa Lane it’s definitely good info to have. Maybe get a gel insole?
Queer Girl Straight Skates any recommendations for a gel insole?
Tessa Lane same.
Dr. Scholl's has a pretty wide selection of insoles, in shoes i like the Dr. Scholl's for Work cuz they don't make my feet tired.
Thanks for this it's so useful. I'm a 4.5 UK size and so am getting the Lolly in a size 4 because the size 5 is way too big for me. My foot is narrow. I also don't feel like adding thick socks and would rather prefer a snug fit 👍
I have skateboard shops, Zumiez and old school local Jeric's. Wish they had roller skates at any of those shops!
Hi guys! thanks for this, my daughter is turning 12 this month and her shoe size is 24.0cm, I plan to buy her a birthday gift this monthe what is a perfect size for these 2 moxi skates, thinking of getting either -Moxi Skates - Lolly or Moxi Skates - Malibu Barbie - What size should i buy? thanks in advance!!!
So I'm a lady's 10. What size would I wear in. Jack boot??
I wear a womens 10.5 and mistakenly bought a size 11 in the moxi lolly black suedes lol. Let's just say my husband got a brand new pair of skates so now I'm ordering a 10 with gel insoles 👍🏾
Im size 5 men in vans and 6 1/2 women , what size do you recommend me getting for the Moxi beach bunny ?
I got a size 5 and they fit just right Incase anybody needs reference 🤓
@@Daniela5Denise I’m on the same boat! Just ordered some clementine Lollys!
Can you do a review of the suregrip fames and boardwalks?
Hey - this is super useful, and I love that in the beach bunny and the fame we know exactly what size works for you as a size 9 (I’m 8.5-9 depending), except for the taffy Lolly! Do you remember if it was a 7 like the fame?
I just got my moxi Ivy Jungle skates and I LOVE them! I have to wait till Christmas to roll because I got me and my 3 year old daughter a pair for her xmas present, she has been asking for a pair! I'm super excited to be teaching her and myself lol. I wear a women's size 6 and got a size 5 in the Moxi Ivy Jungle skates and they fit just as described in the video, like a sock. I was so worried about the fit so I'm super happy I saw this video! Thank you so much! 🐆😇🥰
I got my daughter the Crazy Rocket Skates 😍
Omg how sweet! I love this!!!!
So I’m a Size 10 in Male Sneakers and I’m trying to buy skates from a website but the sizes are in women’s so do I buy them Size 11?
The sizes are in Men’s. That’s why women have to convert down to the men’s sizing chart. If you get a 10, it should be your size .
Ahh, this confirmed that the skates that just arrived are too big for me. Too much room in front of the toes.
Dammit ;__; I just wanna start skating!
I have narrow feet/heels and have had a rough time getting my skate/sizes right! I have sure grip fames now...which I love but my heel still has a tiny wiggle room. I just wear more socks!
thanks to this video i realised the skates i ordered were actually too big! i'm hoping sizing down will do the trick and that i dont have to find a different brand/style that works better for my feet
Scrolling for my size women 7 twin 😢
Im a women’s 7, but have duck feet. Wide toes, narrow heel. I have no clue what size to go with and def don’t have $700 to have tied up to do an exchange.
I'm a size 7! I just got my skates in today. I ordered them in a size 6. I tried them on and they fit perfect around my foot the problem is the front. Theres a little less than an inch of space in the front. The skate feels nice and snug/comfortable so I cant tell if the gap in the front is a concern 😭😭 the ladies in the video stated there should not be a gap tho so how I'm confused 😭
I wear a 6.5-7 in shoes and got a 6 in lollys because I have a wide foot and they don’t have half sizes.
yes they do its extra probably on the custom lolly option
let me know how they worked out - I also wear 6.5-7 with a wide foot! I ordered today and only have a 48 hour window to swap
I am the same size and a fluctuate between both! Let me know how they worked! Im so skeptical on ordering and waiting for months:/
I’ve been on the search for skates with no luck. Maybe someone can help me here. I wear a women’s 12. Would a 10 on moxi fit my size or would a 10 be to small? Thank youuu 😊
I think normally you just move one size down, so a 10 maaay be to small. However my friend wears a size 8-8 1/2 in women’s shoes and got a 6 in the Lolly’s and she said they’re a little snug but really comfortable other than that
tysm for this vid. very informative and straight to the point 👏👏
I have a question, i got my moxi beach bunny roller skates in online and i was wondering about my zides because im like 6 but i got 7
eastlake middle school news probably wouldve been best to buy a 5
What size did they put you in for Lollys?
Help! I really love the Panther Moxi’s. I wear a 7.5-8 (in vans) US Women’s and plan to wear socks with my skates. But I’m not sure if I should go down to a 7 or a 6 🙃
We’re in the exact same boat! Which size did you get?
@@Mary-fk3lp I went with 7 and it feels great with socks
@@Inner.sightful Do you feel any pain from the top where the bottom of the tongue is OR when you stand up on your toe stops (brakes)? I’ve got to exchange for a bigger size & I’m hoping I won’t have pain in those areas with a bigger size.
@@TheBusyfaith I don’t feel any pain in any areas. I usually wear athletic socks too. The socks is added support and cushion to protect my feet and fills out my boot comfortably.
i am the same size 7.5/8 & I got the Panthers in 7 and 6 in Lolly. The lollys feel perfect, the Panthers feel a teeny tiny bit roomier. Panthers are a little bulkier and stiffer like hockey type skate.
Off topic but, what brand of shorts do you have because Everytime I try and wear shorts like that they roll up my thighs because I'm a chonky girl.
Same, my thighs just refuse to let me be great 😅
Something you can do is sew elastic into the thigh portion (like the plastic kind that’ll stick to your skin) and it can help prevent it from rolling 🙃 they use the same stuff for those anti chafe thigh bands
OMG!! All of the skates and gear you and Shove have/get are so BadAss!!! I adore beautiful colorful things!! 🙌🏽
If i usually wear on shoes sneaker 6, how size on lolly ?
Hi! Please help, my foot is 24 cm lenght, should i buy 38 EU or 39 EU? I'm not able to go to the offline stores rn. Thank you!
dang I think my skates may be too big😳 they fit enough where I don’t slide around but I double-sock up. I’m an 8 in women’s and I got a size 8 for my skates (women size)
Any tips on what to do if my moxi lolly skates are too tight?
How do you deal with a wide front (ball of the foot) and a narrow/normal heel? I have large ( women’s size 10.5-11) arched foot and the size 11 skates I got cause searing pain in my arch and ball of my foot (I think they’re too narrow). Is there a way to lace my skate to help with width?
Did you ever figure this out? I don’t know if I need to go a size up or buy wider skates? Some boot shops can stretch them out too. Not sure what to do, but they’re too fucking narrow & I don’t even have a wide foot.
anyone out there have VNLA? I bought a size 5 mens per the chart. I am 9/14 inches. I am normally a 6.5 in ladies. My toe hits the toe tip and I can't tell if that is a good or bad thing..like should I size up?
Got the panthers which are similar to beach bunnies but in suede. I’m a size 7.5-8 women’s vans and got a size 8. I tried them on at my local skate shop and the 7s genuinely hurt. I have wide feet, and a flat arch. I do have wiggle room when I sit, but my outer toes touch the side of the shoe. I also followed the size guide online with measurements and it says I got the correct size but they suggest I have 9 size feet which is confusing.
I wear the same size as you and following the guide it’s stating I should go a size up. I saw two youtubers that went down to a six and one that went down to a 7 they all said it fits awesome. I’m super confused at this point 🤷🏾♀️
@@Inner.sightfulI wear 7.5/8 too and I just got the Panthers (7) and Lollys (6). I’m debating sizing the Panthers down to a 6 like the Lollys. They fit in a 7 but not sure if they’ll stretch way more. They are more bulky and stiffer than the lollys. I’ll have to decide if I’m keeping both. Definitely keeping the lollys, Malibu Barbie edition.
can you do a video on tips for changing your plates on the lolly?
I'm size EU 36 what size should I go for sure grip fame, moxi beach bunny &impala?
I think it's hard to really get the perfect fitting skate when Moxis come stock in only full sizes and no wide/narrow options like regular roller skates. I would encourage people to look at artistic skate boots if they are having foot pain because there are so many more options including split widths and Riedell will even make 1/4 sizes. Then there is the whole world of custom boots.
Moxi is made by riedell. Each skate company are unique. Some are wide. Some are narrow. Depends on what ur feet need.(ex. I have wide feet but regular heels. My toes are also the same length.)
@@ertfgghhhh I am aware that Riedell makes Moxi. But Moxi doesn't offer the full-size options that Riedell does. They don't offer 1/2 sizes in most styles and they don't offer wide widths even as a special order. Riedell offers 1/2 and wide widths in most of their stock styles. Though Riedell's last tends to run narrow compared to other skate boot brands like Jackson Ultima or Risport. There are also other brands like Edea that make a full line of skate boot especially for roller skating.
Also, artistic boots above a certain level also start to become available in split widths.
Proper skate fit becomes really important when you really start to press into your edges and start working on your turns. So I encourage people to look beyond the 1 or 2 brands that come in fun colors. Also getting the skate plate that is the right length for you is so important.
Oh and I forgot one of my most important points. Heat molding. Certain styles and brands you can heat mold the skates to fit you more perfectly.
Great info! I just got the beach bunny and panicked with the skate shortage that the 7 was too small (I’m a solid 8 in women’s shoes)
What about low cut boots? Like riedells? My husband got me skates size 8 because I’m a size 8 in women’s (really I’m like a 7.5 but my feet are wide) what size would you recommend for me?
I want to buy skates from a website but their sizing chart is gender neutral so I emailed them and asked what size I would be if I am a men’s 9.5-10 and they just sent me the chart again
What if you got wide feet ?
Rebel, what size Moxi Lolly do you wear? Do you feel like they stretch out over time?
This blog was perfect thank you!!
What about impalas? They’re snug around the knuckles of my toes, but I can still wiggle my toes! I’m a size 6 in unisex boots so I got a size 6 in impalas! Help! Don’t know if I’m good but I’m sure they stretch a little right???
I’m a size 6 shoe and I have a size 6 impala boot and they fit fine for me! If I was to get a bigger size they’d be way to big.
"buy from your local skate shop"
too bad not enough people skate in my country for them to be in shops, would be helpful to have a online shopping guide too
Same thing, there seems to be no rollerskaters in my whole city, It is just me and ONLY me. It looks like there are even no irl shops that sell quads around the country overall... Hellish of a life
Hey all! I wear a size eight in women’s sneaker sizes, and I feel I have a bit of a wider foot. I’m planning on buying Lolly’s with my Christmas money and was planning on buying a size seven. Does that sound about right?
Is that what you went with?
I’m a 7.5-8, and I got a 6 in Lolly
I ordered my fist pair of skates from Planet Roller Stake today! am so exited!! 😁
Thats so cool!!! How long did it take for them to be delivered to you
Thanks for video keep going greeting from morocco
Thanks. I am watching you from Azerbaijan
I'm a size 6 in woman's and I wanna get the moxi lolly what size do you think I will get?
im trying to figure out the sameeeeee :(((
I wish I’d seen this before I bought my skates !, mine are comfortable but my toes don’t touch the front
I have super wide flat feet and I’m having to order online and I want some that will accommodate the width and girth but also have some arch support Im supper new to skating but when I used roller skate rink skates my feet were in pain for days los thank you for your video 💕 I let was really informative and had a great vibe
hey girl! i’m in the same boat and just wondering did you end up buying skates? if so, which did you go with? 💗
Siona Walters I cant find any in stock anymore honestly 🥺
sahara simpson aw man 😭 hopefully we’ll find some soon
I would love to see if you guys find anything, I got flat wide feet, and I’m a size 6 in men’s.
@@Asia0Lee I've heard Chaya Melrose skates are a good option for wider feet, but I think for arch support it's be easiest to get an insole and switch it into whatever skate fits you best. I've just ordered some of the Melrose Elites for myself in the hopes they work out well for my wide flat feet. Hopefully you've found something by now but I'll tell you how it goes if you're interested.
What about impala skates? I have a brand new ones and they’re pretty tight. Are they supposed to be like that?
I think I got a size too big :(
I’m size 8.5 in women’s ahh I don’t know what size to get in the Lolly’s, I’m a dumb dumb sorry
What did u get?
7 lolly
so im trying to get a pair of beach bunnies a ladies 6 in doc martens so what size should i get
i’ve never been able to find shoes that fit me right. I also have no where to buy skates in my area, i have to order online. my heel always slips in shoes and skates and my feet burn when i’m skating. (if i could have some tips that would be great) :)
So if I wear a 8 or 8.5 in women, what size would I get in the impala skates?
I'm a size 7 in women's shoes and got the size 5 lolly's and they fit me perfectly!! hoping this helps someone :)
Ok finally someone is a ladies 7..I am a vans 6.5 ladies..and a ladies 7 ..so many different comments makes it hard to decide=(
How does the 5 feel?
@@lordfoogthe2st227 hi sorry for my late reply!! omg i would DEFINITELY recommend the 5 i couldn't imagine wearing a bigger size!
Do you think 7.5 would be a size 5 as well or a size 6?
@@lyndseyraq ugh that's the hardest thing im not too sure :( do you find yourself ever buying the occasional 7 or the occasional 8?
So I wear a size 8 1/2 in women's, I'm unsure on which size to get in the sure grip fames skates.
