Do you buy skates one size smaller?

The fit itself should be very snug, allowing you to stay in control of movements. Very snug doesn’t mean uncomfortable: You should still be able to wiggle your toes, and there shouldn’t be any pressure points. Find the right fit.
Is your skate size the same as your shoe size?
Most roller skates are going to fit the same as your standard shoe size. So, if you wear a size 8 in your everyday shoes a size 8 in roller skates will fit. If your toes are curled or crunched the skates are most likely too small.
Which skates are better for tricks?

Which skates are easier?
Inline Skates utilize taller wheels in order to help gain and maintain speed (The exception being Aggressive Inline Skates). These also aide in stability once you get going. Inline skates can also be easier to learn because they have a longer wheel base, extending a bit beyond the heel and toe of the foot.
Are Impala skates good for beginners?
This skate is great for beginners. I loosen up the trucks and the wheels and they roll smoothly. I used to have inlines as a child so getting used to these quads is not easy but with YouTube videos I’m getting better. It’s been about 1week of practice and I’ve only used them inside the house.

How tight should skates feel?
How tight should hockey skates fit? Hockey skates should be snug, but not uncomfortably tight. When unlaced, your toes should just barely touch the toe cap. When standing in your skates with them fully laced, you want your heel snug in the heel pocket, so your toes have a bit of space at the end.
How do I stop my ice skates from hurting?
* Wear thick socks similar to ones that you will be wearing while skating when you try on the skate. Press your foot as close to the front of the skate as possible. If the skate fits well, you should be able to insert one finger between your heel and the back of the skate.
