Vans custom Roller Skates - Sk8 - Hi Pro Black / Gum

Van's roller skate sizing

The shoes we use are Vans Sk8 Hi Pro in US Mens sizing. When we build the roller skate we add an aluminum insole and hardware inside the shoe that will make the shoe more narrow and shallow than a Van's street shoe.  Please keep these things in mind when you order this skate. Some skaters may need to go up a 1/2 size to make room for the hardware. This roller skate will not work with wide feet. 

Return and exchange info

The true fit test will be when you try them on, fit cannot be guaranteed.

If the skate does not fit we can offer to rebuild it (within 30 days of receiving the originally ordered set) in another size for the price of the replacement shoes .

Skate info

For these rad custom skates we repurpose new Vans Sk8 Hi Skate Shoes by mounting them with an aluminum strengthening insole ( inside the shoe to strengthen the shoe to allow for mounting), aluminum or magnesium roller skate plates, and indoor or outdoor wheels. 

* Vans Sk8 Hi Skate Shoes are not a roller skate boot and may not have the same support some roller skate boots may have.
