Fit Guide

• Sized in EU, full sizes. Chaya skates come in full EU sizes.
• Buy snug, don't size up. Chaya recommends a snug fit. Skates stretch as they break in, so a skate that feels roomy in store will feel loose later.
• Measure properly. Measure your longer foot at the end of the day and check it against the Chaya size chart.
• SoCal tip: new skates should feel snug, with your toes just touching the front and your heel staying put when you bend your knees. Try them on in store or call us on 03 9421 2293.

FAQ
