CUSTOM
BOOTS:
All Custom Boot Orders require foot molding be done through 'the SkateNow
shop'. For quality assurance we do not accept others molding or
self-moldings at this time. Our molding process is a precision
full-foot
embedment casting with built-in orthodic,
not sock type casting, which takes into consideration bio-mechanics of
the foot and ankle, as well as the skaters individual ergonomics.
We cannot be responsible for accuracy of
the boot fit if
the mold is provided by elsewhere, unless approved arrangements are
made in
advance. We
can
mold
for
other
companies, beyond those products we currently represent, but
please check in advance
if they will accept our molds. Some boot manufactures prefer to
use their own molding processes, which may differ from our
process. We cannot guarantee the results of boots made from
manufactures that we do not represent.
Shipping of Molds is not included in molding fee, and varies.
Custom Molding fees are non-refundable. 'the SkateNow
shop' works directly
with each boot manufacture we represent on your behalf to ensure that
your boot is
made to your specifications. If there are any unforeseen problems
with your boot, we will work with you and the manufacture to correct
those problems to your satisfaction and/or, if deemed necessary,
rebuild the boot to your original specifications. custom boots
are
non-refundable and full payment is required up front. Please
allow
8-12 weeks for custom boots. Please
contact 'the SkateNow shop' for more detailed information on
custom
boot polices and arranging your custom molding session.
Molding
fees
are $75.00: includes materials and labor. SkateNow does travel
within
the
US and occasionally schedules trips abroad, so please check with us to
see if we will be in your area soon. If you are coming to a meet
in
the Salt Lake area, please arrange ahead of time your molding
session.
Molding process takes approximately 1-1/2 hours time. We work
directly with you and the boot maker to
ensure you get the best custom mold and boot available for your
sport. See 'Order Form' for more information on molding.
STOCK
SIZES, FOOT TRACING, &
MEASURING:All
manufacturer's Sizing charts vary. Always trace or
measure
barefoot. We request both a Foot Tracing and a Linear
Measurement. We make
every effort to properly fit you into skate boots based upon a
performance fit(see below). Speed skates are considered
performance equipment and should feel/fit very snugly, but not
pinching.
Foot
Tracing: allows us to access
foot volume,
length, and width. Do this with a piece of paper and pen/pencil.
Stand diagonally across the paper and trace around the foot carefully,
keeping the pencil/pen upright and not cutting under or going out past
the
actual footprint. It is best to have someone other than yourself
trace your feet. Include a scale on the Foot tracing in mm or
inches, in both directions.
Linear
Measure:
do both feet, as
typically one foot may run
slightly
longer/shorter then the other. Stand barefoot with booth heels against
a wall. Using the wall as a reference point for Zero (where the
heel
touches), measure out to the longest toe of each foot. Use the longer
of
the 2
measurements
to determine sizing. If there is over 5 - 8mm of difference we
can suggest doing 2 different boot sizes, or going with a 1/2 size on
one boot only. Some manufactures allow this, others do not.
Please check with us on purchasing different boot sizes.
Provide measure in mm or cm, or to the
nearest 1/16" in inches. Be certain when measuring the edge of
the scale/ ruler starts exactly at "0"(zero), and there is not a gap at
the end of the scale/ruler. (this could cause error in sizing).
Also, let us know if you wear socks while skating, or skate barefoot
(preferred for better contact in the boots), typically we will
compensate the sizing, if necessary, for socks.
FITTING BOOTS &
SIZE
RANGES: When
on the end of the range of sizes and desiring
a snug fit: if you measure at the high end of the range keep within
that
size range, if you measure at the low end of the range drop down
one
half / one size. If you desire a more comfortable, roomy fit, size up
one
half or one size only, depending upon boot manufacturer's sizing.
Use
caution when sizing up, as a roomy boot could lead to numerous
problems.
Too much room in a boot affords the foot too much movement, this
movement causes
friction
between the foot and inner boot, which could result in blistering, from
boots
that are not fitting properly. There is far less control over the boot
if it is fitting too big, and movement of feet within the boot results
in loss of translation of power. Your toes should always be snug,
but
able to wiggle a slight bit, with less than 3mm between the large
toe and the
toe
end of boot. Ideally, toes should just touch the end of the boot,
but not curl or pinch.
Also,
take into consideration using socks versus going barefoot. The type /
thickness of
sock
makes a difference as well. We recommend to use only a thin micro-fiber
fabric cycling type
sock if socks
are
necessary, or try an EzeeFit ankle cover when skating barefoot.
Barefoot skating has
the best advantages in that it keeps your foot
literally
stuck to the inside of the boot, with no movement, allowing every move
you
make to translate directly to the skate. Again, "fit" is key, as
barefoot
skating with an ill fitting boot will also cause problems. If you
have
any questions on boot sizing or fitting, please contact 'the SkateNow
shop'.
ROOM for GROWTH:(RFG)
Measure children's feet as you would for adults, following instructions
above. Parents are the best judge in determining growth rates (be
it one - two sizes per season). Typically, size up one size only
for growing feet. Boots that are too big can be
problematic as described above.
Manufactures Size
Charts are supplied by manufacures, and are not 100% accurate or
consitent. Sizes may vary within manufactures given sizes for boot by a
whole size.
Please contact SkateNow for assistance in sizing your skates.

&
MARCHESE STOCK SIZING CHART:
MARCHESE ONE ST BOOTS: these boots fit true to
mm length provided.
If your foot is wide or x-wide order 1/2 or 1 size up.
Boot Sizing: The underlined length (mm) in the
chart is the exact (maximum) length that would be perfect to that
particular size, e.g. if your feet measure 256 mm (10 1/16") the
perfect size would be 40. If in this case you would measure
252 you might want to go down to size 39 if you are an experienced
racer and create a really snug fit, however if you want more comfort
or room for growth you can still choose the size 40.
Boots listed above are for standard 6.5" Spacing, unless ordered
otherwise.
MOGEMA SKATE FITTING NOTES:
Boot Fitting: Mogema racing boots have a full leather
toe box and the boot's carbon
fiber shell does not come up very high on the sides. This means that
your feet have the ability and need to 'break in' into the entire toe
box in order to provide a very snug fit.
Boot Sizing: The
underlined length (mm) in the
chart is the exact (maximum) length that would be perfect to that
particular size, e.g. if your feet measure 256 mm (10 1/16") the
perfect size would be 40. If in this case you would measure
252 you might want to go down to size 39 if you are an experienced
racer and create a really snug fit, however if you want more comfort
or room for growth you can still choose the size 40.
Make sure when trying this
boot for size you lace the boot up. Leaving
the lower and middle part of the boot loose and then firmly tightening
the very top of the boot. Putting your foot in an unlaced boot will
make the boot feel one size smaller than with the laces in.
Mogema Boots can be
heat-moulded to provide a custom fit. Contact
SkateNow on how to heat mould, or for heat moulding services.
Measuring your feet:
Set a piece of paper agianst
the wall. Stand with both heels against the wall, hip width apart, with
one foot on the piece of paper. Keeping back aginst wall slightly lower
hips
and bend knees. Have someone draw a straight line across the longest
toe,
using a straight edge set across your toes, parallel to the wall.
Be sure to do this for both feet. You want the measuement
from the wall (heel edge) to the longest toe.
Skates that fit properly with good support will provide
you better
balance, more control, and more power. This equates
to less blisters, fewer foot cramps.
Fitting Boots: It is important to get your heel
positioned deep into the heel pocket of the skate. To set the heel,
firmly kick the heel wheel of the skate to the ground when trying on
the skates.
Sizing Accurately: With both skates on, stand up. Toes
should just touch the end of the toe box. Stand in skating
postion, and toes should pull back slightly from the end. Toes should
touch but not be cramped or curled in the toe bax.
The opposite also applies, toes should not have too much movement
or roominess.
Fit: The key is a snug, even fit with no hot spots.
Heel shouls not lift up as you go forward into skating positon.
If it does, the boot is too big. Most boots have
apower strap to help keep the heel positoined down in
the boot.
Support: Fitness & Rec skates should provide good ankle support
laterally (side to side, keeping ankles upright), but should still
allow you to flex into the forward direction, into skating position.
Custom Fitting: Most high-end Salomon skates can
be specially heat-moulded for a semi-custom fit.
Contact SkateNow to arrange for this heat-mouldng service.
NOTE: Bont sizes tend to run big. Bont numerical sizes are
"Australian" sizes NOT US sizes, your size will be 1-1/2 to 2 szies
smaller thatn US size. Please send foot tracing and overall
length measurement to SkateNow so we can assure a good fit for
you.
Most Bont boots avialable in semi-custom or cusotm with options for
colors, wide widths, and half sizes. Extra Charges apply.
2007 Update: Bont 2007 models sizing will vary slighty.
("y" denotes youth)
Measuring: Set a ruler placed against the wall, then
step onto it with your heel firmly set against the wall. Take the
measurement to the longest toe. Do this for both feet.
