It is important that the skates have the right fit and size and that they are adapted both to your weight and how frequently they will be used.

  What should you keep in mind when lacing hockey skates?

  When lacing skates, it’s important that they fit tightly to provide stability. If you are inexperienced, it may feel uncomfortable at first, because skates should fit tighter than regular shoes. At the same time, you shouldn’t lace them too tightly, as this can cause foot pain. A good basic rule is to start a bit looser at the bottom, lace tighter in the middle, and finish at the top with a very tight lacing.

  For children and juniors, we offer the sizes Yth and Jr. In Yth, the sizes range from 6–13, and in Jr from 1–3.5. These are skate sizes. Size 6–13 in Yth corresponds to European shoe sizes 23.5–33, and 1–3.5 in Jr corresponds to 33.5–36.5. To know which skate size to choose, you can either visit one of our stores, where our knowledgeable staff will help you with any questions. You can also use your regular shoe size and compare it with our size chart, which is always available under the product description. It is important to check the size chart for the specific product you are buying, as different brands use different charts. If you are between two sizes, we recommend choosing the smaller one, as skate sizes tend to run smaller rather than larger.
