Van's roller skate sizing
The shoes we use are Vans Sk8 Hi Pro is 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 will 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 in another size for $25. It can be returned for store credit towards another roller skate model if needed.
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.

Cool skates
I’m giving 3 stars for the overall experience of shopping at the store along with the skates. First of all, I was told in an email that the company offers great service and fast shipping. While the service part was correct, I waited over a week for my order to be fulfilled and when I asked about it in an email because I never received an estimated arrival date, they said that they were “waiting for more shoes to come in.” So just know that the skates did ship in a couple days but fulfillment will definitely take longer. I also emailed to ask if I should size up my skate 1/2 or a full size and I was told to size up a half size. When I got the skates, they were so tight in the width that my feet ached. I had to put on 3 pairs of fuzzy socks and use a hairdryer on the shoes for almost an hour to expand the material enough that the shoes were a comfortable fit to skate in normal socks. The package that they came in was well wrapped and safe for the skates, they sent a couple stickers and also extra laces. The skates themselves look really cool and seem very sturdy. I’m still getting used to them and re-learning how to skate after a few years on hiatus but I’m excited to start my skate journey again with these.
